Readymades
7 – 15 Feb
Readymades
Curated by Alison Aye & Ken Turner
Readymades – an impromptu exhibition in which artists were given the brief 24 hours before installation. An exploration of ingenuity, enthusiasm and spontaneity.
We invited twelve artists, friends of the gallery, to be part of this exhibition. Each artist invited a ‘guest exhibitor’, someone new to Tension. Everyone turned up with their work, drinks and nibbles. Once it was on the walls (plus ceiling and floor) we discussed the art, the artworld, Duchamp, DeepSeek and Fray Bentos pies.
‘Everyday objects raised to the dignity of a work of art by the artist’s act of choice’
