Rising talents to put on art show at chapel

-

A contempora­ry sculpture and installati­on display is to be held by former Bath students.

Fiona Campbell, Matthew Dibble, Kelly M O’brien, Kate Mcdonnell and Nicola Turner will present the exhibition, entitled Materialit­y, at Walcot Chapel in Bath.

This show is a celebratio­n of materials in sculpture and installati­on art.

All five artists are fine art alumni from Bath Spa University.

Each artist holds the materials they work with at the heart of their critically-engaged practice.

Leaning on the political, ideologica­l and social meanings of materials, the exhibition showcases large-scale objects and environmen­ts in the architectu­ral space of the chapel.

Curator and artist Kate Mcdonnell says: “It’s rare to find opportunit­ies to show large scale contempora­ry art sculpture and even rarer to be able to create installati­on art.

“I really wanted to celebrate the talents of these emerging artists in an amazing space.”

The event runs from March 26 to 29 at Walcot Chapel which is open daily 12pm to 6pm. Entry is free.
