South Facing

Venue: Danielle Arnaud contemporary art, London
Curators: Danielle Arnaud
Date: 11th November 2005

Tower blocks, traffic police and visions for a problematised Utopia are presented in South Facing, David Cotterrell’s second solo exhibition at Danielle Arnaud contemporary art. Cotterrell explores notions of heroism within the dystopic reality of the fast-emerging megalopolis that is contemporary Shanghai. Enormous population masses existing in kit-built clusters of ‘vertical villages’ characterise what Cotterrell calls cities without centres; characterless ‘suburbs’ found in the urban core.
