Field of Difference, Palmer Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, is a group presentation of the work of eleven emerging artists. A range of mediums and artistic expressions are presented, spanning painting, sculpture, hybrids, drawing, video, sound and light installation. The show aims to encapsulate the broader gallery concept, setting the stage for the artistic programme to follow which will be dedicated to the promotion and support of cross-disciplinary artistic practices and the creation of immersive, multi-sensory exhibitions. Field of Difference reflects the diversity of mediums and artistic creativity that will come to define the space.
The exhibition includes the work of Adam Boyd, Albano Hernandez, Bea Bonafini, Divine Southgate-Smith, Francisca Sosa Lopez, Gusty Ferro, Jennifer Carvalho, Karolina Dworska, Norberto Spina, Ramah Alhusseini and Rowley Haynes.
"Myriad threads of meaning run between and through the works, connecting surfaces, feelings, materials, colours, ideas, sounds and shapes. There is a touch of the carnivalesque here, in the show’s commitment to sensory abundance, plurality, variety and hybridity - the aesthetics of a field of difference."
