Part of Stroom School Display Show

Stuart Whipps is an artist interested in what he calls the ‘slippery relationship between memory and truth'. In works that address a specific place or moment in time, he explores the appeal and the limitations of archives, collections and documentary photography and investigates the ability or inability of objects and images to carry complex narratives. Stuart Whipps will give an overview of his practice and will focus on his coming solo exhibition at Spike Island (Bristol, UK) in July this year. He will talk about this in relation to display as he's currently developing a number of systems around this show. (working title Les Ballets 1933). Stuart Whipps is the regular photographer of Eastside Projects (including Display Show) for which he developed a system of 'fixed positions'.
