Join Danielle Gravon and Kelvin Monroe for an engaging discussion on Alfred Conteh’s Malik and Marquis, on loan from Art Bridges and newly reinstalled in a pop up gallery located on the first floor. This Artside Chat explores the layered dialogues between Conteh’s evocative painting and Powell’s architectural legacy, creating an exhibition-within-an-exhibition that examines themes of space, structural dynamics, and the role of architecture shaping the way we experience space. Reflecting on how Conteh’s work transforms the gallery into a contemplative space, this discussion highlights the intersection of art, architecture, and dynamic structural inequalities occurring within the built environment. Don’t miss this opportunity to investigate the dynamic interplay of these powerful works.
