The title for this exhibition comes from the voiceover to a film by contemporary artist Matthew Buckingham. The full quotation is:
'Everything has a name, or the potential to be named, but who does the naming when the unknown is falsely assumed not to exist?'
It's a pretty important and interesting question - one looked at to a greater or lesser extent by Said and others - and forms the basis of Gasworks' exploration of the colonisation of the Americas in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
There's work on show across a range of media by a number of contemporary artists (including Buckingham): blurring the line between history and art, this looks like a cracking show.
Until 20.06.09.
