Concrete Nature explores four individual relationships with urban concrete, through walking, commuting and recording experiences, memory and re-imagining. Their documents are translated through collage, painting and photography. Each artist presents alternative and overlapping perspectives; interpreting modernist infrastructure and its juxtaposition with nature, the romantic notion of the ruin as explored in art histories and the translation of urban concrete with materials including cardboard and paint.
