The popular definition of a weed is 'a plant in the wrong place'.
This exhibition questions and complicates our relationship with invasive plants. Viewers are invited to explore the resilience and usefulness of weeds, as well as to consider how we can better care for the environment. Weeds are also used as an analogy to probe ideas of identity and displacement.
'A Plant in the Wrong Place' is a thoughtful exhibition showcasing the work of seven artists whose practices are wide-ranging. The exhibition includes artist books, painting, ceramics, textiles, installation, and video.
Floor Talk: 1 October, 2pm.
Weed Walk: 22 October, 2pm.
