In advance of her forthcoming interview with Art Feast, we thought we’d tell you about Liverpool based artist Imogen Stidworthy’s latest show, (.) which is at Matt’s Gallery, London until 17 July.

(.) is Imogen Stidworthy’s second exhibition at Matt’s Gallery. This sculptural installation using video and sound, centres on the spoken word in relation to different notions of meaning and communication. Sounds and images are configured into three acoustic zones in the gallery, focused and reflected within the adapted architecture by loudspeakers and a parabolic dish.

We look forward to talking to Imogen, in the mean-time go and see the show and let us know what you think.

Posted on June 1, 2011 by admin

Twelve artists from The Royal Standard in Liverpool, either studio holders or associate members of the group, arrived in Edinburgh from Sunday May 15th onwards, with nothing but their bags and their capacities in making art. The result is the group show ‘Parts Unknown’ at Embassy Gallery, a white-cube basement turn-around representative of Scotland’s East Coast artist-led scene. The show is part two of a city swap and artist exchange (Edinburgh artists affiliated with Embassy had a group show at The Royal Standard in April 2011).
