Far from being just an exhibition How We Live will also be the culmination of a lengthy period of experimentation and collaboration between four artists. What began in November 2009 as a small collection of work by three artists whose practice seemed to have a natural confluence has, over the course of three months, become a different beast altogether.
Whilst the initial concept looked at instances of repetition / difference / order / disorder in both the man-made and natural environment we now seek through various processes, and one extra collaborator, to examine how such things impact upon the systems that support, or possibly contain, us. Over the coming months we will be exploring ideas surrounding How We Live on a day to day basis and Where We Take Ourselves when we step out of our normal patterns of behaviour and daily routines.
The exhibition that served as the genesis of this idea saw the artist’s involved commissioning work from each other and adding to each others pieces. The follow up exhibition will look at work that has been produced individually alongside that which has been influenced by input of each other. Whilst the idea of duos operating collaboratively are fairly common place in the art world, groups of four working so closely are not and this will most likely result in a unique and unusual body of work.
