Jerwood Visual Arts

Invisible Cities, curated by artists Katie Pratt and Roger Kelly was exhibition of work by nine established artists with a previous connection to Jerwood Visual Arts: Basil Beattie, Tom Chamberlain, Prunella Clough, Katy Dove, Vincent Hawkins, Sarah Morris, Carol Rhodes, Thomas Scheibitz and Daniel Sturgis.

“We wanted to approach this curatorial opportunity as painters, and to bring together works that visually engage us as a juxtaposition. We struck upon the idea of conceptually focusing the exhibition around Italo Calvino's ‘Invisible Cities’ because it addresses the dilemmas of visual invention and illusion. Rather than illustrate the book, the painters in this exhibition have been selected for their various diverse strategies of stating the imaginary in terms of location. The exhibition highlights crossover in our otherwise diverse studio practices.”
