 Around the Network, 2002 mixed media, 118.5 x 92 cm Stephen Willats From My Mind To Your Mind During the sixties and early seventies, Stephen Willats was one of the very few serious representatives of international Concept Art in England. Drawing upon wide-ranging artistic means, Willats attempts to comprehend the way in which individuals see a world that is determined by social constraints, how people evaluate themselves and others, and which perspectives they develop. The works included in "From My Mind To Your Mind" underscore the continuing relevance of Willats' ideas in the discussions around art practice as an examination of the socio-urban environment. His exploration into interaction and personal perception, and the range of ways he involves people in his work has provided a seminal framework for other artists to consider. Using the everyday as a site of investigation, "From My Mind to Your Mind" presents a vehicle of exchange through which viewers can re-examine and transform the way they perceive the fabric of existing reality. Pushing the boundaries of traditional fields of art practice, this exhibition creates meaningful ways forward to approach the future.
