Changeover 30th May – 5th June 2009

What could be more temporary than guerrilla exhibitions in a Temporary Art Space during the taking down of one show and the hanging of the next? Every day promises to be different with variable opening times according to the hanging schedule. The public will be able to see the inner workings of a gallery as the parasitic 'Changeover' exhibitions attempt to occupy an ever decreasing space. You could propose to use the whole space or a part of it for one hour, one day or propose a project that runs for the whole duration of 'Changeover'.

"I like to make new things from old things. I find it interesting to be able to recycle something that's already had a purposeful life. An Edwardian door has done a job for a hundred years. It feels right to cut it up, sand it down and turn it into something else entirely for the next hundred. My visual world involves a sort of urban ruralism with ice cream vans and power stations, laconic cattle, buttercups and fancy teatime cakes. I like mixed media, ready-made elements like milk bottles and crockery, decoupage and collage. Look closely and you'll see jewel-like stamps from decades ago, a tax disc. Things charged with a past life, another time. Teachers' gold stars, the odd coin. I'm a bit of a magpie."

Cheers… to pint-sized art

Published Date: 28 April 2009

Yorkshire Post

Temporary Art Space co-director Alice Bradshaw hangs some of the hundreds of beer mats that form an exhibition which will open at the Piece Hall in Halifax later this week.
The team behind the art space put out an open international call to anyone who wanted to contribute to the project to produce artwork on or using beer mats. They were rewarded with around 800 pieces ranging from sculpture to drawings and paintings.

"We really wanted to get everyone involved. The best ideas are often drawn down on a beer mat in a pub."

Artwork has been submitted from as far afield as Germany and closer to home from Halifax Art Society and youngsters from Huddersfield Art Gallery's children's art group. The exhibition opens on Friday at 5pm and runs until May 29.
