"Waiting Ground" Exhibition
Kate Werble Gallery
This event has ended.
The works of the fourteen artists in Waiting Ground build on the psychological landscape and circumstances of the protagonist of J.G. Ballard’s 1974 novel Concrete Island. Architect Robert Maitland finds himself stranded on a traffic island between three converging motorway routes after his Jaguar crashes through a safety barrier. As time passes he becomes less inclined to attempt escape from the "island," which comes to closely reflect his state of mind. Reading the book, it is increasingly difficult to determine what of his absurd predicament is real and what is imagined. Maitland’s acceptance of his fate could be a rational response to his situation or evidence that he is losing his mind.
