'I guess one of the reasons that I've never been a very good private detective is that I spend too much time dreaming of Babylon.' - Richard Brautigan, Dreaming of Babylon (1977) Dreaming of Babylon brings together the work of emerging UK artists inspired by the Richard Brautigan novel, the show celebrates both confusion and shifts of meaning. The project mixes image and conceptual art to create a dialogue between individuals and their environment, exploring ideas of communication, identity and human condition. Agnes b presents a group exhibition of site specific works, using different signatures to translate a constant theme: real vs. imagined. Drawing on ancient mythology and popular culture, ’Dreaming of Babylon’ maps a route from our post modern real world, toward a virtual poetic space. Accompanying this project is a full colour catalogue with supporting material including a short story by Paul Hocker commissioned for this exhibition.
