Tinworks Art’s 2024 exhibition season, The Lay of the Land, features a major new ecological artwork by Agnes Denes and work by five artists inspired by the land of the American West.

With an intergenerational mix of established and emerging artists, iconic work and newly commissioned installations, The Lay of the Land explores how land in the west is represented. The artworks included connect to land and place through their physical materiality—wheat, sediment, soot, clay, the sound of passing trains—and subject matter—the natural or industrial forces that have shaped the land of the west and depictions of western places shaped by memory or technology.

Dave Hollier, frontman of the band King Ropes, will perform a solo set featuring songs he's written for the band. King Ropes’ music blends ramshackle Americana, psychedelic desert rock, and country noise pop, reflecting the western experience. Their latest album, "Super Natural," showcases Hollier’s direct and poignant songwriting, touching on themes of tragedy and resilience. From pounding rhythms to tender odes, their music captures the complexities of life with empathy and wisdom.
