The underlying theme of the 2013 exhibition programme will be dialogue. This will take a variety of forms, both formal and imaginary. For example, it might be a dialogue between the works of two artists; between two aspects of one artist’s work; between the work of art and the gallery space, or between the work of art and its wider context (both contemporary and historical). It might also be a conversation, or an exchange of views – perhaps in the hope of ultimately reaching agreement. Underpinning the theme of dialogue is the belief that art is a form of communication as well as expression and that a gallery, even a commercial one, should be a location in which a discussion can take place about what art is and how it functions; somewhere to have an exchange of ideas. To help facilitate the dialogue theme, the gallery will be divided into two spaces, which will be allowed to function in different ways depending on what is installed within them. 2013 Programme Second Dialogue Gallery 1: Philip Akkerman 1,2,3 Gallery 2: Maria Chevska From the Diary of a Fly 7 - 29 June
