Erosion and Illegibility of Images
Blocked Vision and Self-Reflexivity in Contemporary Art

One-day Symposium
The New Art Gallery Walsall, UK
31Oct 2014, 12-4 PM

The one-day symposium sets out to interrogate the trope of illegibility and erosion in contemporary artistic practice. By looking at painting, photography and sculpture/ architecture the symposium explores the extent to which contemporary art denies ‘a palpable legibility’. Artists including Jane and Louise Wilson, Idris Khan and Maria Chevska will offer an original insight into the restriction of vision and legibility.
