Toil & Trouble challenges the usual exhibition format by inviting guests to change it mid-way through the show!
Opening with artworks made and curated by Ali Darke, Lucy Renton, Sue Withers and Anna Fairchild.
Intended to explore ideas of creativity, control, unpredictability, risk, and trust, the show offers visitors (and participants) thought-provoking ‘before’ and ‘after’ experiences.
It also invites fellow artists to think about, and publicly discuss how the uncertainty of the studio can contribute to an exhibition; if critical dialogue between artists can involve actions as well as words; whether exhibiting and curating should be more fluid processes, and how it benefits an artist to swap self-definition for self-discovery.
