Uncertain Eastside at the Created in Birmingham shop

Yesterday I added some Uncertain Eastside limited edition prints to the stock of the Created in Birmingham shop in the Bullring shopping centre, Birmingham.

You can read more about the Created in Birmingham shop on their blog, although obviously it goes without saying that you should go and visit if you can. It’s a nice example of creative communities making use of what would otherwise be an empty retail unit.

Location: Bullring, Level 3 Upper Mall West
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 10am to 8pm. Sun 11am to 5pm

West Midlands Open at BMAG

Uncertain Eastside at the West Midlands Open

Follow up to an earlier post. Verdict on the presentation: just the right amount of wonkiness.

The exhibition runs from 6th March to 2nd May and is at the Gas Hall. Entrance is free.

Uncertain Eastside prints selected for the West Midlands Open

I got the news through a while ago, but had to double-check that they were ok with my instructions for display…

My Uncertain Eastside drawing generated from 6 circuits of the Eastside Regeneration Zone in Birmingham has been selected for exhibition at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery’s Gas Hall as part of their biennial collaboration between with Wolverhampton Art Gallery to celebrate the work of artists in the region.

My letter tells me there were over 1200 entries to the Open, from which 146 were selected for the exhibition …so that’s something nice I can tell my Mum!

West Midlands Open, 2010

Expect more details closer to the exhibition’s opening in March…

Uncertain Eastside prints tubed up and ready to go

Uncertain Eastside prints

The Uncertain Eastside limited editions prints are now officially available to purchase!

All the prints are A0 (841mm × 1189mm), signed, unframed and come in protective cardboard tubes – you will look after them now, won’t you?

The first batch of prints, rolled up, labelled and ready to go.

There are 2 different series available: A and B.

Series A:

Detail from a Series A print: Digbeth Deritend and Coventry Road.

A set of 3 individual prints, each of one of the double-circuits of the Eastside regeneration area. Limited edition of 10, £50 per set.

I walked around Birmingham’s Eastside regeneration area in pairs of 90 minute circuits – the two walks in each pair happening one straight after the other. These prints make the traces of each walk visible.

Series B:

Detail from a Series B print: Moat Lane and the Bullring markets area.

The traces of all 6 circuits overlaid. Limited edition of 100, £15 each.

These prints show the cumulative traces of all 6 circuits overlaid on top of each other. It becomes a lot harder to pick out the individual circuits, but instead it makes the patterns of glitches visible and you can see how the physical landscape of the city affects the different parts of the drawings.

How to order

These prints are available through my online shop The Invisible Hand. Simply send me a message via the order form telling me which items you would like to purchase and I will then contact you back with confirmation and postage/delivery information etc.
