Mobile cabinet of curiosities: The City

Wayne Chisnall's assemblage sculpture The City, a "mobile cabinet of curiosities," will be displayed at TROVE gallery, in the Engine Room of Birmingham's Science and Industry Museum for a show called The Event 2011.

I’m delighted to say that I’ve been invited to exhibit work at the TROVE gallery (a heritage site located in the Engine Room of Birmingham’s old Science and Industry Museum) as part of this month’s The Event 2011 (the third bi-annual visual art festival hosted by Birmingham Contemporary Art Forum) which runs from 21 – 30 October. The show brings together a combination of Heat Robinson-esque machines and 2D dreams of machines and is curated by Charlie Levine of TROVE in conjunction with Minnie Weisz Studio of King’s Cross, London. The exhibition will cross sound, film and object/sculpture and be based around the narrative of ‘Creative Machines’ and minimalist sculpture – a look into pure machines meets pure minimalism.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This rather reminds me of Christopher Priest’s “Inverted World”, https://www.worldswithoutend.com/novel.asp?id=350.

I always get excited to see something awesome like this is in a show in Birmingham… then I’m sad that it’s not the Birmingham in which I live.
