About Platform 14:
Taking Engine Shed’s objectives as its point of inspiration, this exhibition will explore themes of connection, journey and innovation.
Counter to linear models of history and aesthetics, PLATFORM 14 will be a model of continuity with an emphasis on the structure of the organic. Its framework will be designed around the concept of an integrated circuit where elements are inseparably associated and interconnected.
The exhibition will be structured as a journey around a circuit of interactive, immersive, and technologically facilitated artworks. The circuit will be made up of works that connect visitors from upstairs to downstairs, from past to current place and its future, and from the exhibition space to the outside world.
PLATFORM 14 is an exhibition that reflects and connects Engine Shed’s present with Bristol’s future in creative industries. The exhibition will highlight the principles of collaboration, technology and steady development, while striving to be a harbour of imagination and inspiration.
