Two exhibitions in Birmingham

This week I visited two exhibitions, one is And Miles To Go Before I Sleep by 4 Birmingham artists-Gene George Earle, Trevor Pitt, Nikki Pugh and Adam Smythe, the other is OUTLINED by teachers from Birmingham Metropolitan College.
The most impressive work for me in ARTicle is Possibility Probes by Nikki Pugh. Nikki Pugh is an artist working across art, science and technology. She concerns the issues and interaction between people, space and landscapes. Her practice includes digital media, walking, performative actions in public spaces, installation, physical computing and collaboration. "Possibility Probe (heavy object and built environment) is a starting point for asking questions and conducting experiments. A direct response to the trend of making mobile technology smaller, lighter and more discreet; these objects are unwieldy, heavy and broadcast to all within hearing distance." The artwork is a heavy roll with sound installation inside. It was displayed after people have taken it around in Birmingham City Center. 

OUTLINED is an exhibition explores the concept of drawings using different mediums e.g. sculptures, digital printing, photography and mixed media. This exhibition showcases over 20 works. Although not all of the works can surprise me, some of them are quite amazing and skillful.
