Concentric Zone Theory
17.09.2017 - 01.10.2017

Adam Chodzko, Simon Linington, Dominic From Luton, Emma Smith and Barry Sykes moderated by Lynda Morris

Concentric Zone Theory; five artists from the Home Counties. On Sunday 17th September a conversation will take place. On Sunday 5th October the first bi-monthly Newsletter from Division of Labour will be released.

Artists were asked to bring a chair from their studio or home to the gallery, sit and discuss working outside London. The conversation has been recorded, edited and printed in Division of Labour's first bi-monthly newsletter, with guest editor Lynda Morris who proclaims:

POST-LONDON!
Lynda Morris will moderate a discussion from her provocation; ‘Post-London!’ Artists include Emma Smith whose work is often site specific, investigating local historic behaviours in relation to the present, considering how we might all relate to any place, any time through transitory modes of belonging and practices of place being. Barry Sykes representing his project for 'Radical Essex' where Sykes explores an amateur history of social nudity in modern Essex between 1896 and 2017. Dominic Allan aka 'Dominic from Luton' who has published the eponymous titled monograph of works made largely in Luton. Simon Linington will reflect upon personal and social histories of place with work based out of Isle of Wight and Adam Chodzko whose work over 20 years has often focussed on communities and networks outside the capital at the edge, both geographically and culturally.
