Aedas Presents May Artist - Sneaky Peek!

A few months ago we invited Bharti Parmar to exhibit at Aedas Presents in May 2012.  She came to Colmore Plaza with plenty of ideas, one of them was to make a 5ftx5ft rug made from human hair.

Charlie Levine visited Bharti this week and dicovered Bharti has become quite the master in the techniques found in wig making! The rug is growing nicely and here are some images of its progress.

Date of preview show to follow - watch this space!

Aedas Presents:

'Sparrow+Castice VS...'

NEW DATE!

Preview Show Thursday 26 January 2012

Colmore Plaza, Birmingham

 

'Sparrow+Castice VS...' is a show in which we make work in direct competition with other artists on topics chosen at random, both selected by an impartial curator Charlie Levine. It is conceived in an attempt to demonstrate our fascination with the peculiar collision that is working against and alongside other people (artists, curators, the audience etc.) simultaneously.

Aedas Presents artistswill be 'battling' Sparrow + Castice on the following topics for you to pick your favourite from: "Interiors", "Balence", "Mulled Wine", "One Hundred Pounds", "Structure" and "Negative". 

Aedas Presents welcomes you to join us at this exclusive preview show from 5pm - 7pm on Thursday 26 January 2012.  If you cannot make this date, we welcome you to view the work at Colmore Plaza.  Please contact aedaspresents@aedas.com to arrange a visit.

Aedas Presents Tom Butler

At Aedas Presents, we have been delighted to showcase a selection of beautiful postcards by Tom Butler for the past few weeks.  Keep track of Tom's forthcoming exhibitions and works at

Aedas Presents Tom Butler

Aedas Presents are delighted to showcase the works of Tom Butler for a month long show!

Tom is fascinated by the human desire both to hide and to perform. His studio practice conspicuously conceals found images of people by incorporating personal symbols such as hair, hoods, mirrors and masks and in the process attempt to reveal aspects of imagined inner personalities. For example, the Victorian Cabinet Cards with gouache painting on the surface. He uses these portraits as psychological clotheshorses in which to create grotesque and sinister scenarios, enabling him to project thoughts, fears and anxieties in an immediate and direct way and often with a macabre sense of humour. The people in these portraits are part of a community, a subliminal citizenship of his imagination.

All pieces are for sale, please contact Kate Eagle or Charlie Levine for details:

Postcards: £182

Cartes de visite (smaller photographs): £182

Cabinet Cards (larger photographs): £260

Etchings: £325

Aedas Presents welcome you to visit Colmore Plaza to view Tom's work until Friday 18 November.  Please contact aedaspresents@aedas.com to arrange a visit.
