JIMMY COSGROVE
LOOKING FOR SIGNS: IDEAS AND IMAGINED CIRCUMSTANCES
The publication, Looking for Signs: ideas and imagined circumstances, accompanied the exhibition by Jimmy Cosgrove (b1939) of new and past works. The exhibition co-curated by Alison Harley, Fraser Taylor and Louise Briggs, explored Cosgrove’s substantive practice as an artist and designer through the presentation of sketchbooks; travel diaries; screen-printed textiles; posters; photographs; drawings; and paintings. Within the publication, a set of commissioned essays and photographs contextualised Cosgrove’s exploration of real and imagined subject matter over some fifty years in the visual arts.
Exhibited at Studio Pavilion at House for an Art Lover,
28 July - 16 September, 2018.
