'Ecologies of Value'
26 Jan - 7 Apr 2012
Nottingham Contemporary
Work from different decades of practice, not a retrospective
Art is part of us trying to create meaning in the world
Some of the gallery space in Nottingham to Newling, some also went to artist Piero Gilardi, Newlings work considered to work alongside the arte povera.
Work tends to slowly change and evolve
Nine twists of nature, research drawings (1978-1979)
geometrical studies of how he felt/predicted plants grow
The first time 'research' was named as an artwork, now we bring art and research together, before they were seen as seperate
Fairly open plan in working method, not sure how the end will turn out
Constructed Siol
creates own soil from paper, makes them into small balls - Thomas Payne's Rights of Man
Lemon Tree and Me (2009-11)
made soil totest out, grow a lemon tree
seeing if it would survive, wanted a living thing to be in an art collection
set up installations of work, and also creates/performs the work in the installation - work is created while he performs.
