\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018If Bird, Then Tree\u2019 sees birds as one of our most visible signs of connectedness. Less \u2018about\u2019 birds than written around them, the sequence explores the world birds find themselves in: the network of relations and conditions they move through, make up and, finally, are made of. \u2018If Bird, Then Tree\u2019 seeks to identify and identify with a nature that capital constantly makes but insistently makes other.<\/p>\n

As well as readings from Ben Hickman, the launch will feature work from Vera Chok, Robert Kiely and T. Peeps as well as paintings by Oliver Baggott which are featured in \u2018If Bird, Then Tree.\u2019<\/p>\n
