In this exhibition, it is the curators of the exhibition who are on display.
Cutting out the middlemen/artists allows the viewing public to directly interact
with them in the gallery space.
As curators we felt compelled to eliminate the artist from the equation so as to
explore other criteria, e.g. exhibitions as a product of the curator's bias and
opinions with accompanying illustrative flourishes. Literally and figuratively
we hoped for a show that will speak for itself and be self evident. This
show/work is an opportunity to bring together a few of the predominating themes
of this experimental London-based art gallery:
1 The idea that the exhibition produces the work
2 The nature of a show, as one of flux and change
3 The performative aspect of art/life understood as a profound self conscious
focus into the nature of human intercourse
4 The notion of the gallery as an interface or nodal point where paths cross,
ideas collide and texts, human as well as literal, may undergo synthesis
