Sunbeam shows presents Modern Empire: Print Editions and Works on Paper, an exhibition including a selection of prints, paintings and collages by some of the artists who have worked with Modern Empire since it began in 2009.Works by Vicki Bennett, Charlotte Bracegirdle, Alec Finlay, Diego Mena, Inken Reinert, and Kelly Richardson.
On Wednesday 6th March 2013, Contemporary Art Society North East members will be visiting Susie Green's studio in Newcastle to hear about her recent projects.
To coincide with this, Modern Empire are offering CAS members 10% discount off the price of Susie Green's print editions, Magic Touch (1) & Magic Touch (2) during the month of March.
Susie Green makes work that sits at an intersection between art and fashion. She is intrigued by the relationship between the spiritual and the decorative and how we give meaning and power to certain objects in our lives.
What is Orion TIde? In an interview for Modern Empire, Kelly Richardson discusses the work at the root of her print edition.
New Print Edition by Alec Finlay
Modern Empire are delighted to announce publication of a new edition by Alec Finlay: a suite of 4 giclée prints entitled, SING/WILD/KIND/WOOD.
Each of the 4 prints holds one word, with the four letters from each word laid out in a grid, separated by a central cross. Reworking a line from American poet John Berryman’s Dream Songs, the formal structuring is typical of Finlay's ongoing work with found texts.
