Urban Psychosis

Urban Psychosis | July 2014

The modern city has frequently been identified through its intensity - a busy and bustling environment of potentially creative and productive activity. For the spectator, this intensity can also tip over into a state in which reality is temporarily obscured. It is this finely balanced state which the exhibition explored, the condition of urban psychosis is presented as a recurring theme, a shadow which continues to haunt the city.
With a series of talks from Will Self and professionals in the field including Professor John Read.
