Transient Space: Ballard, Coley, Coventry, Head, Manchot, Reynolds | Parafin | London | 2017

This group show explored different approaches to urban space in the work of six leading contemporary artists. The works adopted a varied series of positions in relation to urbanism: critical, observational, participatory, performative. Taken together, they formed a series of open-ended propositions about the contemporary urban environment, the way it is experienced and how it affects us. The exhibition include Mike Ballard, Nathan Coley, Keith Coventry, Tim Head, Melanie Manchot and Abigail Reynolds.
