Urban Invasion is a curated exhibition byEric Winnert in response to Gavin Wade's text for ART SHEFFIELD 05:Spectator T. It looks at urban decay and the space it inhabits. Theshow is a direct response to the Matilda building and its location, anold Victorian factory in the heart of a newly developed city centre.
