‘Degrading’

private view Tuesday 5 February 6 – 9pm

Entropy for all!

21 artists have been invited to show work, (most especially conceived for the exhibition) that either degrades the audience / subject / author and/or just physically degrades. Viewers will be encouraged to interact with or even destroy some of the works.

Whatever the outcome, at the end of the show, all work will be disposed of. There will be two bins – Wet and Dry – depending on whether the disposed works are more conceptual or formal.

Is it a long drawn out performance or an extremely short exhibition? At some point during the course of the evening the boundary between creation/destruction and artist/viewer will be crossed as everything disintegrates, leaving little trace and certainly no more art.
