Aedas Presents: The Winners


A couple of weeks ago Aedas through a fundraising pub quiz in the office for friends and colleague to take part in.  The Aedas Presents team consisted of us, Kate and Charlie, plus Ben and Andy.

The first round didn't go so well...see above image for name change...

However - then the karaoke round kicked in and with Lady Gaga's Poker Face we slowly began to believe in ourselves...


with the final round but one being a guess the artist round - we were pretty much winners...

followed by a sing off by the two winning team captains, Kate saw us through to victory! The name was not ironic after all!

Aedas Presents:
Matt Robinson

Preview Show 6 pm Thursday 24 March 2011
Colmore Plaza, Birmingham


Matt’s work whisks together a violent harmony of mind bending puns associated with perception. Matt playfully borrows from a wide array of visual techniques associated with advertising, religious iconography, and many other sources which, take form into a one-off sculpture to be exhibited only this once.

Aedas Presents, in association with Rider Levett Bucknall, welcome you to join us at this exclusive invitation only preview show from 6 pm - 8 pm on Thursday 24 March 2011. If you cannot make this date, Matt's work will be displayed in Colmore Plaza until Friday 8 April. Please contact aedaspresents@aedas.com to arrange a visit.

 Aedas Presents: Shadow Maps


Preview Show 6 pm Thursday 10 February 2011
Colmore Plaza, Birmingham

The third event in a series of exciting exhibitions promoting students and emerging artists; Aedas Presents Shadow Maps - the work of Jo Gane.

For Aedas, Gane has assembled a body of work made with teams of field archaeologists at various dig sites which explores the search for evidence of history and plotting of time within the landscape. Instead of unearthing finds, the archaeologists spend time chasing shadows and mapping out past events. 

The installation for Aedas Presents will include both photographs of archaeological constructions and projections of shadows. The photographs act to give the shadows a physical reference point and will describe the functioning of time as a mapped spatial dimension, whilst the shadows will describe the unknown historic events that occurred within these sites.

Aedas Presents welcome you to join us at this exclusive invitation only preview show from 6 pm - 8 pm on Thursday 10 February 2011. If you cannot make this date, Shadow Maps will be displayed in Colmore Plaza until Friday 18 February. Please contact aedaspresents@aedas.com to arrange a visit.
