Catalyst: FRAMES
FRAMES - The 2024 Catalyst exhibition explores the complexities of hierarchy, accessibility, and perception in contemporary art and society.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Nottingham Trent University's MFA and MA Illustration students. With guidance from the Nottingham Contemporary team, the group explored the themes in Paul Mpagi Sepuya: Exposure and Dora Budor: Again.
The student artists aim to confront the barriers that exist between artists, artwork, and audience. FRAMES not only offers captivating artworks on display, but also a unique opportunity for interactive audience participation during the launch night where attendees are invited to experience the art of screen printing and become an integral part of the creative process.
FRAMES invites you to embark on a journey of reflection on the structures that shape our understanding of contemporary art.
