Janek Simon
30 Jan, 2010 - 05 Apr, 2010
A recent artist-in-residence at Arnolfini, Janek Simon presents new understandings of geography and distance in our technologically globalised world.
He has been inspired by the concept of 鈥榯he end of geography鈥� and for his solo exhibition, Simon is undertaking a research project revisiting key locations of the Trans-Atlantic Trade Triangle - namely West Coast Africa, the Caribbean and Bristol - developing a series of artworks that will result from the experiences and exchanges on his travels. This historical route is revisited through the lens of today鈥檚 technologically-orientated perception of geographic space, distance and globalised trade.
