In the Upper and Darkside Galleries, Some Symptoms of Painting , what can this mean or more importantly do? What possibilitites are being practised within the heterogenous field that painting has now or could become. Taking Birnbaum's concept of painting as 'zones of contagion' as the idea underpinning the show, each artist included has explored the connections between and as well as incorporating aspects of a variety of art disciplines within their art practice. Many painters today work from a reality that is already image, and set out to explore/debate these practices within and in relation to media saturated contexts.
