This catalogue marks British sculptor, Rose Finn-Kelcey's most comprehensive exhibition in over 10 years. Comprising three new sculptural installations made partly in response to a recent residency and tour of China. Typically for Finn-Kelcey, the use and misuse of language provides the focus for the exhibition. Applying her characteristic irony and subversive wit, Finn-Kelcey highlights the perils of interpretation when Chinese characters collide and are conversely assimilated into new and alien contexts. Appropriating street signage, fairground art and shop boarding, this exhibition demonstrates the extent and invention that has come to characterise Finn-Kelcey's practice. Published on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at Milton Keynes Gallery, December 2006 - January 2007.

The Peripatetic School features eight artists from across Latin America – Brigida Baltar, Jose Tony Cruz, Andre Komatsu, Mateo Lopez, Jorge Macchi, Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves, Nicolas Paris, Ishmael Randall Weeks – who journey out of the studio, into the neighbourhood, the city, the territory or continent beyond. For these artists, drawing travels off the page and into the environment itself.The individual bodies of work destabilise assumptions about the continent. They present instead individual testaments to the extraordinary heterogeneity of its people, culture, languages, cities and landscape. Not only do the artists explore the world at large, but they simultaneously examine the parameters of drawing, often using unconventional materials or strategies.For these artists drawing – traditionally the most portable medium – becomes a focus of expanded practices that engage with the landscape and culture as a subject and source for exploration, as well as philosophical speculation. These artists seek to blur the traditional boundaries between medias; work on paper becomes sculptural object and simple line drawing becomes video animation.Published in association with the Drawing Room.
