Newsflash! There’s been a series of high-profile crimes right across the city – but fear not…The police chief’s put his best man on the job – Dick Tracy.

MIKE RICKETTS SO IT GOES Concerned with specific spaces and histories, Mike Ricketts develops projects that explore the uncertainties and paradoxes of contemporary public space. By asking questions, following unlikely leads and making propositions, Ricketts often runs into bureaucratic structures such as those associated with urban regulation and planning. The day-to-day operation of such structures, both at their fringes and in everyday scenarios, forms the subject and location of his work.
This exhibition is rooted in an exploration of the post-war history of Princesshay, Exeter’...
There are approximately three thousand Kalasha people in the world. They are the last survivors of Kafiristan and inhabit three distinct valleys up in the Hindu-Kush mountains of the North West Frontier of Pakistan. It is popular belief that they are descendants of the soldiers of Alexander the Great when he stormed across Asia 2300 years ago. Some Kalasha are blonde with blue eyes like some Ancient Greeks. Also the Kalasha share similar rituals, dances, ferment wine and believe in Dionysos and other ancient Gods. What is certain is that the Kalasha are unique to this world culturally and...
Tue 17 Mar 2015 - Sat 18 Apr 2015 | Café Bar Gallery Nicholas Dietrich’s work uses the ambiguity of abstraction within the genre of still life. There are no objects before the painter, just pictures on a screen. Distant images of unfamiliar structures enter the authority of abstract space where different rules apply; they are simplified, flattened, suspended in mid air and given new colour as they interact with each other.
The forms refer to the influence of science upon our thinking in the last century, pushing out ideas of spirituality and theosophy.
Zanne Andrea’s sculptural assemblages and installations include items that are continuously arranged, layered and edited to explore the relationship between power, politics, history and memory. By bringing past, present, found and made together she considers how we negotiate and conjure meanings between image, object, colour, form and material.
