Sorry About Last Night @ Art Sheffield 2016, May 6 – Jun 6

4 May 2016

news

The Sorry About Last Night group exhibition is on at Sheffield’s The Washington Pub, opening May 6 and running to June 6.

Presented by (It’s all) Tropical art space, the event is running alongside the Art Sheffield 2016 and features work by Claire Boyd, Laura Yuile, Lindsey Mendick, Liv Fontaine, Luke Overin, Mathew Parkin, Millington Marriott and Victoria Fornieles among others.

The multidisciplinary show celebrates work birthed from bad life choices, and is placed between the shiny optimism of getting ready before a night out and the consequent hangover the next day. In sharing truths and slurring emotions the evening seeks what the press release calls “drunken inspirations, drinking to forget, passionate pub debates, pointless fights with friends, loss of inhibitions, misguided decisions, hungover regrets, next day apologies, and one too many Jaegerbombs [sic].”

A confessional performance/public meltdown by Self Esteem (Rebecca Taylor of Slow Club) will commence at on the evening of May 6, with Karaoke running into the late hours.

See the (It’s) All Tropical website for details.**

Tokyo Drift @ Sean’s Mum’s Car, Oct 1 – 4

30 September 2015

news

As part of Art Licks Weekend 2015, Millington | Marriott presents a new group show titled Tokyo Drift and taking place in “Sean’s mum’s car” from October 1 to October 4.

The group exhibition begins in a car in Choumert Grove Car Park and takes boy racer culture as its starting point. The four contributing artists—Luke Overin, Alfie Strong, Jessica Mai Walker, and Jesse Wine—exhibit their works in an old Ford Fiesta, each “creating an addition/alteration to the existing vehicle in conjunction with their practice”.

Over the course of the weekend, Tokyo Drift shifts locations across London, combining the “high and low cultures” and considering them with equal levels of irony and sincerity.

See the exhibition page for details. **

let the brittle bits @ MilMa, May 8 – 31

8 May 2015

news

The fifth instalment in the Elements at MilMa series of group exhibitions is coming to London’s Millington | Marriott, titled let the brittle bits and running from May 8 to May 31.

Each exhibition forms through an invitation process by which M|M invites the initial artist who then extends an invitation to another artist from any discipline, and the process in repeated until the programme is complete.

The stages of invitation exist in order to allow “each element the experience of both complete and loss of control resulting in an exhibition catalysed through each artist reacting to one another”. Participating in the fifth instalment of this series are artists Heather Phillipson, Michael Phillipson, Richard Müller, Rachel Crummey, and Susan Sluglett.

Lithium @ MilMa, Jan 30 – Feb 22

29 January 2015

news

Millington | Marriott is bringing in the exhibition Lithium, which will be running at their London Space from January 30 to February 22.

The group show comes as the third in a series of group shows entitled Elements at MilMa, and features the works of three different artists: Peles Empire, Giles Round, and Alex Cecchetti. The invitation nature of the show – in which an initial artist is invited to participate, then invites the second artist, who extends the invitation to the third – lends a dynamic quality to the show.

Unlike most curated exhibitions, this show is self-curated, or rather evolving in a somewhat natural progression, inviting both chaos and a certain unspoken order its nature.
