Simona Brinkmann: Override at The Art House, Wakefield, Wakefield 28 March — 11 May 2018 Entrance is free

The Art House presents Override, the first Northern solo show from London-based artist Simona Brinkmann.

Selected as the final artist in residence of The Art House’s 2017-18 residency programme, Brinkmann was based at The Art House from the 01 – 31 March 2018.

Brinkmann’s sculptural practice repositions familiar objects and materials, readdressing or questioning their intended context and connotations. Override represents both an experimentation with new materials and a reconfiguration or expansion of previous works.
