Against the Smooth, a new exhibition featuring Ian Andrews, Sarah Fortes Mayer, and Paul Newman. At the Hive Gallery in Jewellry Quarter, Birmingham.
The smooth is synonymous with notions of beauty and the virtual world, such as the smart phone and contemporary ideas of perfection. Artists Ian Andrews, Sarah Fortes Mayer and Paul Newman explore notions of friction and the transformation with dynamic and melancholy dialogues with the body and environment. Ian, Paul, and Sarah react against the smooth and seamless notions of perfection in the atomic level, the cellular and the psychological and physical worlds we inhabit.
Open from 3rd April to 24th April. Tues – Fri 10.00 – 3.30 pm. The Hive Gallery, 43-47 Vittoria St, Birmingham, B1 3PE
