CHARLES AVERY
born 1973 in Oban, Scotland lives and works in London
Charles Avery’s art is characterised by its formal accomplishment and spirit of philosophical enquiry. He devotes himself mainly to the epic project “Islanders”, a description of the typology and cosmology of an imaginary island all of whose details, from geology to fauna and flora, embody a philosophical proposition, problem or solution. At the Biennial Avery will present a recent aspect of “Islanders”.

TOM MORTON
born 1977 in Lincoln, UK lives and work in London
Tom Morton is on the editorial board of “Frieze” and curator of the Cubitt Gallery in London.
