The Art Station is proud to present the second part of our major contemporary art exhibition, LAND TOO, exploring our shifting relationship with nature.
LAND TOO is an opportunity to further explore artists’ relationship with place, landscape and environment in a very different building to The Art Station’s telephone exchange and Old Bank.
Here in LAND TOO artists create light, space, volume, weight and meanings and open up territories for us to join them in.
