Craft.11am–6pm. Monday–Saturday 1–30/8 Bin Dixon Ward Grids Grids are everywhere, in the layout of our cities and towns, in land divisions for agriculture and housing, floor plans and building facades; the urban grid has endless translations. As a fundamental unit of our endeavours to manage and control our environment, we use the grid to protect us, to navigate our way and to mark and control our boundaries. Bin Dixon-Ward’s exhibition is an exploration of the grid as it appears in the urban form. Craft. 11am– 6pm.
