The geometric form is a language that elicits an immediate audience response. We can see repetition, patterns, and structure appear in printmaking, interior design, furniture design, sculpture and architecture. But what do they mean? {a thread}

These are recognisable and identifiable cultural signifiers. Universally accessible symbols, familiar across political and social divides. Geometric, systems, minimalist, and non-objective art have long been regarded as emblematic advancements of the design movements from

the early to the mid-20th century. But the physical, material and creative characteristics they embody reflect qualities and concerns still relevant today.

Possible Architectures is an exhibition of non-objective, reductive and systems-based art.
The curators, Patrick Morrissey and Hanz Hancock, have always been concerned with the way we experience work and its immediate impact within an architectural context.

Each work is a process-led exploration of space within the developing post-minimalist practice. Works are exhibited alongside contextual information explaining the processes used to make them.
