This document is a companion piece to an exhibition in November 2012. 'If A Picture Paints A Thousand Words Then Why Can’t I Paint’ is the inaugural exhibition by Indigo Octagon, a loose collective of Birmingham based artists, designers and makers. The exhibition is eclectic, bringing together a diverse range of work by 5 Midlands artists. The show has a sense of a ‘mix tape’ aesthetic, ideas and themes presented in the work of one artist being taken on in the work of another. The exhibition runs from 13th-23rd November 2012, at The Works Gallery in Birmingham, UK. A printed edition is available, just get in touch via our facebook page.
