Surface Arts, working in partnership with Book Cycle and EVA Studios present DIY, a site specific exhibition which liberates a derelict warehouse awaiting development on Water Lane near Exeter Quay side. DIY is a cross art form exhibition involving multiple disciplines on a huge scale. The work will range from sculpture to performance most involving interactive processes and participation.
The artists participating are working on site for a four week production period leading up to the exhibition which opens on 17th September and runs until 16th October. This provides an opportunity for the artists to work together and allows them to produce work that is truly responsive to the site.
This exhibition aims to question artist led activities within this time of financial instability and asks if this way of creating new independent opportunities is now becoming essential. All materials used in this exhibition will be sourced from the site; all artists will work on their own initiatives with limited funds.
ARTISTS:Adam Garrett, Chiara Gill, Hanna Downing, James Burgess, Jessica Mautner, Jo Willoughby, Julie McCalden, Mark Houghton, Megan Hoggins, Michele Louise Schiocchet and Sarah Farmer.
