Description/Abstract:

The visual idea of a Tree of Life is one that manifests itself in many cultures and traditions and is understood in a multitude of forms from the genealogical to evolutionary and from cultural and political hierarchies to growth forms. The exponential nature of branching structures and the diversity this represents is a metaphor for life itself. Phytopia seeks to harness the energies embedded in such structures and to celebrate the influence plants and organic forms have on nearly every aspect of visual culture. Phytopia includes a range of artists not usually seen in the same context and includes a number of works exhibited for the first time, with sculptural pieces by Derek Jarman and Paul de Monchaux, drawings by Marc Quinn and Rasheed Araeen and some 19th century nature prints among these.

Participating artists: Rasheed Araeen; Alois Auer; Karl Blossfeldt; Henry Bradbury; Edward Chell; Peter Fillingham; Ori Gersht; Joy Girvin; Fay Godwin; David Heinrich Hoppe; Derek Jarman; Paul de Monchaux; Rosa Nguyen; Pia Ostlund; Alicia Paz; Sian Pile; Marc Quinn; Hilary Rosen; Suzanne Treister; Yu-Chen Wang. Also including 'Flicker & Pulse', A Film by Brian McClave and Tom Wichelow

The exhibition and tour are accompanied by an illustrated publication.
