METHODOLOGICAL ASTERISMS Brad Ladyman
There is a growing need for the exploration of abstract analysis of urban density in order to build upon it and learn from it. My current research is based around the intrinsic theory behind the processes and ideas associated with urban architectural installations. The aims of these works are to create architectural propositions that contain certain phenomenological links that reveal unseen qualities that lie within the peripheral layers of our urban fabric.

These ideas aim to tease out a range of ontological links and patterns which are formed by the juxtaposition of architectural and urban formations that are in close proximity to one another. By taking an experiential position, we can thus work towards a more profound understanding of those potential outcomes that are located beyond our usual and accepted sense of urban reality and experience.

Merrick will talk about his last two solo exhibitions (Spanish Landscape and recent work) and the evolution of his practice between the two shows. He will also include the transition into the “Belyea St” film and how that relates to current obsessions: worrying the surface of an object until one is left with the essentials of an idea.
