Temporary Fiction brings together six London based artists whose work encompases different aspects of visual art practice today. The show explores the narrative constructs of each artist's work with the creation of a 'fantasy' gallery, designed and constructed inside Transition by artists Hew Locke and Danny Rolph.

The design of the gallery responds to the work of each artist exhibiting, forming new associations as the group dynamic is transformed. The gallery is an extension of Hew Locke's current practice which saw him explore commodity, class hierarchies and value systems in his Cardboard Palace installation at Chisenhale in 2002. Danny Rolph's large scale Macrolan plastic paintings are also newly conceived as they form part of the material construct of the gallery space. His paintings, with their energetic architectural qualities now form a container both literally and narratively for the works exhibited within.

Neal Rock and Deidre King have both developed work that is conscious of painting's status as a commodity. Rock, using silicone piped through icing cake nozzles, makes work that envelops its support structure, thriving on a sense of artificiality and the baroque. For this show Deidre King has created dried skins of paint folded into cardboard box containers, also indicating a desire for excess and an interest in their consumption materially and conceptually.
Peter Lamb's work appropriates found copies of old paintings and other items of ephemera to create new works that are at once objects, trophies and images. They display an interest in nostalgia, hovering between homage, appropriation and defacement.

David Burrow's work plays on the tautology of images and objects that display a clear sense of their fiction / construction within their own visual logic. His Borgesian play within a myriad of interchangeable worlds highlights one of the main themes of the exhibition; how narratives are constructed and within those constructions where other possibilities unravel.
