The aim is to create a platform for the artists to take a step back from their studio space, test work and ideas to further develop their practice.
The exhibition showcases work from two Tees Valley artists, Roberto Picciau and Stephen Irving. Both Picciau and Irving have underlying themes of experimentation.
Using works in progress by Picciau and Irving, ‘Static’ curated by AndNow Curatorial, resembles the traditional hang typically associated with contemporary art galleries. The artworks are lacking in movement, action or change, creating an intervention within the artists practice.
The next stage of StaticFlux is a workshop involving an artist critique. This will explore the curation of the show, as well as the artists individual works presented in the show and their wider artistic practices. Updates of this will be in tomorrow’s blog post.
