Edward Chell - 'Soft Estate' at Spacex - Final week

This week is your last chance to see Edward Chell's 'Soft Estate' at Spacex. This exhibition has been the most popular at Spacex for some time. It includes the work of eleven artists and fills the galleries, corridor & foyer areas. It consists mainly of traditional artwork, albeit using unconventional materials in some cases.

For an excellent summary of the exhibition take a look at Jez Winship's review in his blog Sparks in Electrical Jelly. A selection of photos of work from the exhibition are shown above and below:

  1. Good pictures Steve. I didn't realise the video was taken underneath a motorway bridge - it looks completely subterranean. It was a great exhibition. I enjoyed the symposium too. Got my copy of Laura Oldfield Ford's Savage Messiah through the post today, as well as Owen Hatherley's A New Kind of Bleak: Journeys Through Urban Britain, which also has her illustrations at the start of each chapter (two of which cover Plymouth and Bristol).

  2. Thanks Jez - Heard that the symposium was good - and well attended. They had Laura Oldfield Ford's book in the gallery yesterday (a bit late as the exhibition closed today). Looking through it, there was some really great stuff - it has made me view her in a totally different light. The pictures in the exhibition clearly only tell a small part of her story.
