A Discreet Music

Tim Machin is currently (23rd Feb - 15th March) showing at Manchester's International 3 in 'A Discreet Music'.

You Can Observe A Lot By Looking

Tim Machin is showing in London, at St Pauls Gallery, Bow, London E3 5JL. You Can Observe A Lot By Looking, is an exhibition of work by artists who, whilst being diverse in material and means, each have common ground in their interest in the difference between reality and representation. Images and objects from the familiar world are manipulated: transformed and subverted in such a way that they allude to a place that lies somewhere between fiction and reality.

Each artist has a considered, varying, and playful process, the final outcome of which often has an implied simplicity or subtlety that demands closer inspection and reflection from the viewer.

The exhibition brings together a diverse yet cohesive group of emerging and established artists. Each individual derives a sense of wonder and pleasure from what is considered commonplace and even mundane in daily life. Challenging perceptions is a common theme in each artist’s work, where a slight suspension of reason or purpose may occur and known rules and boundaries become blurred.
