HOUSE 2012

4 May - 10 Jun

Wed - Sun, 11am - 5pm; 18 & 19 May to 9pm

Deborah Bowness

Phoenix Brighton is pleased to exhibit HOUSE 2012’s new commissions of work from artists Robin Blackledge, Deborah Bowness, Helene Kazan and Caroline Le Breton including sculpture, installation, photography and moving image. Responding to a brief from internationally acclaimed artist David Batchelor, the artists were commissioned to develop work which responds to the themes of art, domestic space and the everyday. Working with the unique setting of the gallery at Phoenix Brighton, they interrogate, invert and illuminate our notions of home and security, and public and private space.
