Nathan Coley - Portraits Of Dissension

A new commission by renowned British contemporary artist Nathan Coley (b.1967). Taking as its point of departure themes of architecture in a state of renewal and destruction, Coley’s exhibition includes materials referencing
Brighton’s Royal Palace and images of a Brighton landmark building on the day it was bombed, together with ready- made documents from a morally uncertain world. Marking moments in history and the collective memory, Portraits of
Dissension are not illustrations of the events themselves, but a locater through which to explore ideas of unrest, the monumental and absence, edge and shift, portraiture and representation, space and occupation.
