Resolute is the inaugural show at Platform, a project space co-ordinated by
Sheila Lawson.
We look ahead with eyes to the past. New Years Eve is one of the few moments
which allow us to collectively acknowledge this condition. A moment when
hindsight is given credence and regret is transformed into optimism... until

Artists, Writers, Curators and other contributors have been invited to submit
their New Years Resolutions (on A4) to Platform. Contributors include; Fiona
Banner, Simon Bill, Simon English, Graham Gussin, Alison Gill, Matthew Higgs,
Gareth Jones, Sarah Staton, David Shrigley, Fergal Stapleton, Andrew Wilson &
Elizabeth Wright.
