North South Divine. Alison Wilding, Kate Davis, Annie O’Donnell, Phil Illingworth, Deb Covell, Tony Charles, Boa Swindler, Chiara Williams. Platform A Gallery, Middlesbrough. Friday 17 May – 20 June 2013. Preview 6 – 9pm Thur 16 May. WW and Platform A are pleased to present North South Divine, an exhibition of works by eight artists across two cities situated at the North and South of the country. The exhibition, organised in partnership between the two galleries, opened in London at WW Gallery and has toured to Middlesbrough’s Platform A Gallery. North South Divine makes obvious reference to the age old traditional geographical and social tensions between both ends of the country. This opposition is brought into focus by the locations of the two collaborating venues: WW gallery is situated in Hatton Garden, the diamond district of London, home of the purveyors of expensive decorative finery. In contrast, Platform A exists within a North Eastern railway station deep in the heartland of heavy industry. Strength meets sensitivity, serious creative practice meets humour. Ultimately, the show expresses the very simple beauty of shared belief, the unity of ideas and the pleasure of real conversation.
