Temporary Art Space

DIY

Do it yourself: art on the cheap, art created using the most immediate resources, art that involves the public in the creation. Whether you call it lo-fi, cut ‘n’ paste, punk or some other dubious title, it’s art that is exciting, raw and not pandering to the whims of the money soaked art market. We have no money to offer but we do have free tea.

Changeover 27th June – 3rd July 2009

Storeroom Show
Curated by Sofia Johnston

Unit 33, Piece Hall, Halifax, HX1 1RE

In unsightly piles behind the 18th century windows of Unit 33, The Piece Hall, Halifax, lies the jetsam from Temporary Art Space so far. For this Changeover exhibition Sofia Johnston will draw on her considerable experience in High Street window dressing to transform these cast off bits and bats of gallery detritus into The High-End Viewing Experience of a Lifetime!

“I like to work in whatever medium or with whatever objects I come across. I’m interested in the idea of when rather than what is art – Can the bits and pieces behind the Art Space become an installation in their own right? At what point does this shift from ordinary to extraordinary take place? Lets see….”

Roll-up! Roll-up! A never to be repeated opportunity to peer in wonder at: Large double-decontextualised artworks waiting for the day we get round to hiring a van, (multiple) beer mats, (multiple) beer/wine bottles, not to mention the infamous Milk, Two Sugars cups!, pens, paper, flyers, tables, chairs, whiteboards covered with unflattering portraits of us drawn by children, shop mannequins with big mouths and 1950s hair, bunting (hooray for bunting!) Edie’s talking Sportacus doll, ladders, three identical hammers, Tom’s dad’s power drill, pins, nails, a (never used) spirit level – every gallery should have one (and never use it) – examples of Mr Harry Edwards’ amazing experiments in origami, bags and boxes, Kevin and Danny’s improvised plumb-bob, life-size posters of Jordan and Rihanna showing a bit, a mouldy banana and Bob’s internet connection.

Not to be missed!
