Things have been a bit quiet on the Pigeon Hole front after Christmas. Clare McFarlane's Pigeon Story was taken out of the window ready for the next show at the beginning of January. Unfortunately the next artist due to put work in broke their leg and was unable to commit to the space. Pigeon Hole has been waiting for the fantastical work by Chris Collier and Alex Williams ' You Can See My House From Here'. The work, a castellated city and a cliched rural idyll is now installed. Tapping into a child like fantasy of dolls houses and train sets, the work '…examines the dichotomy between rural and urban space and the way in which we relate to these geographical and cultural constructs; how we mytholgise them and the preconceived notions that surround these definitions.' (Collier, C. & Williams, A.)
We are having a launch next Monday at 8pm with rural cream tea & cakes in the long corridor behind the shop front. I'll have to tidy up the shoes and coats.
