Group exhibition Did you pack this bag, yourself? will be on at New York’s Exchange Rates Fair opening October 20 to 23.

Hosted by artist/curator initiative Sluice at Brooklyn’s Buggy Factory, the London based 12ø Collective has invited Georgia Gendall, Charlotte Salt  and Alfie Strong to present new work that fits within the confines of hand luggage. The exhibitions asks the artists to respond and experiment with “the regulations and restrictions of weight, size and material in carry on luggage, while finding an alternative strategy so not to compromise their practice, when transportation is a priority.”

The Exchange Rates Fair is run by artist/curator organisations based between Brooklyn and London which host an international exposition of new work and is running October 23 to 26.

Trading Places 2.0 @ 12ø Collective, Feb 5 – 7

5 February 2016
news

The Trading Places 2.0 group exhibition is on at London’s 12ø Collective, opening February 5 and running to February 7.

Curated by artist Joshua Parker as part of his A/W 2015 residency at the Stoke Newington space, this second in a series of Trading Places exhibitions explores the “possibilities of how emerging art practices could survive continuous austerity measures while maintaining critical reflection of the contemporary.”

The show, featuring Sophie Chapman, Aspiration Suits, Rosa Nussbaum, Chris Dendulk & Jammie Nicholas and Lily Ackroyd-Willoughby will look at ‘feasibility’ as a factor around business models, corporate strategies and/or corporate aesthetics as a necessity within an increasingly hostile projected future for art production.

See the FB event page for details. **
