HETAIN PATEL: AT HOME 21 APRIL - 14 JULY 2012 MAIN GALLERY It is with great pleasure we welcome Hetain Patel to New Art Exchange. As an artist who has emerged from the Nottingham art scene and is now achieving international success, we are proud to present his much anticipated solo exhibition, Hetain Patel: At Home. This major touring show of existing and newly commissioned works marks an important turning point in the artist's practice. In a departure from previous self-portraiture works, Hetain will no longer be the sole protagonist in the camera's frame, and in some cases, completely absent. Read more

Admission: FREE Age range: All are welcome   Thursday 31 May, 6:30pm Illustrated Lecture Be Like Theatre with Michael Pinchbeck In recent years Hetain Patel’s visual art practice has moved into the territory of live performance. Michael Pinchbeck, a Nottingham-based writer and theatre maker, has become a long-term artistic collaborator with Patel. During this session Michael will place Hetain’s performance practice into a broader context of experimental theatre. He will discuss the use of text, voice, and the practice of using the re-enactment of recorded material as a live act. As a footnote, the talk asks how we might reconfigure the family in performance, as both Michael and Patel have worked with their Fathers in their artistic productions.
