NEW TIMES ROMAN IS an exhibition of new artwork from ten contemporary

artists.

NEW TIMES ROMAN IS NOT a monument to the past but a nod to the here and

now. It endorses an amount of permanence and cultural stamina from its very

citing in the heritage city of Bath; using the city’s historic fixedness as a set for its

own volatile and passing industry.

NEW TIMES ROMAN IS a show that revels in moments of collision and

starkness, led by the stance that the display of modernity is in itself a satisfying

guiding artistic principle.

NEW TIMES ROMAN IS NOT burdened with the lugging-around of overarching

conceptual dialogue and controlling thematic directives: more that it will function

as a collective homage to intuition, chance and visual theatre. Pieces are

introduced to the mix via matters of happenstance and an experiment of artistic

conviviality.

NEW TIMES ROMAN IS a litmus test - and snapshot of - the work, practice and

progression of a handful of recent graduates from University College Falmouth

(08/09). It uses this sole geographical counter as an exciting proposition to roll the

dice again; this time in Bath.

NEW TIMES ROMAN IS NOT to be missed.
