Have you experienced misadventure? Been a victim or perpetrator of misadventure? Or are you just curious about misadventure?

Fourteen artists from the FOAD (Future of Artistic Developments) group will produce an exciting and thrilling environment mixing misfortune, mischance, unlucky accidents, and ill-adventure. Via a selection of different media, the exhibition will provide some insights, explanations, and answers.

Following on from the dual show North/South (where the group were asked to highlight the debate known as the "north/south divide"), the FOAD group will continue to explore challenging and controversial themes and practices of art and life.

The original idea for this collective evolved from two painters based in North Devon back in 1998. The simple concept was to stage a series of shows using a succession of different contributors. A collaborative group of exhibitions meant that the turnover of work involved would always appear fresh and exciting. Any kind of creative project could be included from painting, sculpture, installation pieces poetry, DJ's graffiti art, etc. The brief for the shows would remain the same. All work submitted would have to be based on the four initial's f.o.a.d. Originally this stood for "f*^£ off and die" which happened to be a well-known biker slogan. It really could have been anything, this just happened to present itself. With this concept the spectrum of work and subject matter can be vast, but with the four initials as a vehicle it forces the contributor to work within a limited boundary.

Foad can be anything and everything; it simply relies on individual creative-interpretation.
