About Nick Crowe
In 2001, YSP commissioned a new exhibition, presenting a rare opportunity to see the work of talented contemporary artist Nick Crowe.
In the Bothy Gallery, 12 flip charts displayed Crowe’s drawings. Each chart combined a graph representing one month’s financial trading on the Nasdaq financial index, with a landscape. The Nasdaq is concerned with technology stocks and trades taking place via a computer and telecommunications network.
This pairing of landscape with the world of commerce creates a timely and thought-provoking reflection on our contemporary world.

Bruce Beasley: Advocate IV
Inspired by geometric forms, Beasley’s sculptures are often made up of these shapes, and in particular cubes. He uses computer software to design three-dimensional forms without the constraints of gravity. These configurations are then translated into bronze. As with Advocate IV which appears to be balancing, the design method contributes to the precarious appearance of Beasley’s sculptures. - Art Outdoors
