Press release for ‘b-art-er’
Curator5 present b-art-er
a group exhibition in an empty shop unit
British high streets have changed forever, it is estimated around 13% of UK shops are currently empty.
They are spaces in limbo, waiting for reoccupation and activity. For the last weekend of November an empty shop unit in the Pavilions, Birmingham will be taken over by contemporary artists.
The abandoned shop represents the recent recession and reveals the fragility of the current economic system as well as the crisis of the consumerist society. b-art-er will comment on the issues and ask if there are any alternatives, is there an economic utopia we can aspire to?
Curator5 are hosting a unique art exhibition with 6 artists who are using the empty shop as a space to question this fragility through ephemeral works. Visitors are invited to exchange ideas…no purchase necessary.
Artists: Michael Bold, Chris Clinton, Lisa Roffey, Adam Radley, Alexandra Lockett and Tim Stock
