Ellie Harrison’s solo exhibition ‘Market Forces’ is currently on at Vane, Newcastle from 1st November – 17th December 2011. Intro text by Laurie Penny can be read here. A film of the launch night can be viewed below:

Ellie Harrison is an artist who looks at the numbers. As artist in residence at Wunderbar, her solo exhibition at Vane and collaborative projects during the festival tread the line between the sublime and the ridiculous, between creation and activism. It’s all intended to get visitors to understand how our world is shaped by everyday engagements with the micro-detail of a macro-financial system that is steering humanity over a cliff of crisis – with a healthy dose of self-irony.
