“As it dies it sings. Unsung in life it hangs above, a slave in its vacuum prison sipping power. Deprived of oxygen, lest it burn too fast and bright and live a shorter life. Privy to our intimate actions, from its commanding position tenderly responsive to our whims and passions.” OUR HOUSE is a witty, thought provoking and topical concept based art exhibition, exploring the form and role of the incandescent light bulb through a range of media. OUR HOUSE does what all good concept art should do, provokes questions and new ways of looking at the world which glow and fizz in your mind long after you’ve left the exhibition space. Whether OUR HOUSE is homage to the humble light bulb and its contribution to society, or a commentary on its nearing demise, and its effect on the planet it has steadfastly lit for the past 100 years, is for the observer to decide. The exhibition is the work of newly formed arts group, 100 Whats, made up of four dynamic Brighton based artists, Patrick Bullock, Jo Coles, Sarah Parsons and Nikie Gunson. All four have strong and established links with the innovative Brighton based community arts group, Same Sky, which is hosting the exhibition.
