Forward To Far is a two person exhibition of recent collages and assemblage paintings by Russell Mills and Ian Walton, which seeks to reaffirm the importance of Schwitters's legacy and its relevance to our contemporary cultural landscape. Since their art school days, both have been hugely influenced by Schwitters's works and his radical imperatives such as the groundbreaking 'Gesamtkunstwerk': the idea of the complete integration of different forms, which informs their highly emotive synaesthetic multimedia installations. The exhibiton, in the spirit of Schwitters, celebrates the act of art as an ordering of thought, material, process and memory. |
