Aedas Presents Bharti Parmar

Preview Show Thursday 3 May 2012

5pm to 7pm

Colmore Plaza, Birmingham

 

Bharti Parmar has produced a site-specific work for the Aedas Studio: a shagpile carpet made from human hair.

This piece is about substitution; by making an intervention within the space and fabric of the studio environment, she has replaced an existing item of furniture in order to make us think again of what we see.

Bharti Parmar is an artist and academic and has exhibited nationally and internationally for 20 years. She studied at the Royal College of Art, London and has a PhD in Victorian material culture.  She lives in Birmingham.

Aedas Presents welcome you to join us at this exclusive invitation only preview show, from 17:00 – 19:00 on Thursday 3rd May 2012.

The show will remain at Colmore Plaza until the end of May. To arrange a visit please email: aedaspresents@aedas.com or 0121 456 1591.
