________________________________
Gallery/ The Physical Impossibility of Curating without Context.
Every cultural event is grounded by the events that came before and after it. Culture is underpinned by chronology. As Artists, the objects we produce are anchored by their forefathers. This has led us to attempt to question this context of our practice as artists, curators and Gallerist'. Curating boils down to putting one object next to another, but sometimes as with decoration things can go astray one work can over power another, change its meaning or cause it to become something else entirely.
For this presentation we have utilised three art works as illustrations for writers to use as launch pads for critical and experimental writing around what context and curating can mean in the contemporary. We realise that no cultural product can become hermetic especially in relation to the generation before ourselves ,and their overpowering presence on the art world.
Studio/ Amy Pierpoint
Pierpoint presents new work subverting the romanticised idea of the artist as cult entity.
