WARNING: This Show is not Intended for Passive Consumption
Please Touch aims to challenge the passive consumption of art. It presents works that draw the audience in; works that require more than just your visual perception – they demand to be experienced.
Whilst the act of touching as suggested by the title of the exhibition is important for some of the works, in others it’s a different kind of involvement you are invited to. You can wash the fears away, sit down and wait, or lay bare your own emotional mindset.

A Moment Before Decadence
30th April - 23rd May 2010
Frankie Charles, Jonathan Kipps, Geoff Diego Litherland, David Watkins
curated by Jonathan Kipps
The exhibition aims to consolidate painting’s relationship to installation art and sculpture, drawing attention to the physicality of the medium and departing from its traditional constraints to create work that demands being experienced. Referencing areas of painting’s history as starting points, these artists push their materials and processes to their physical limits, stopping just a moment before decadence prevails.
Interruptions of the Ordinary
2nd - 22 April
curated by Amy Mckenny
‘Interruptions of the Ordinary’ is an uncomfortable investigation of the mundane. Isolated circumstances are brought together in one place for an intrusive glance into the situations of others. Here, the ordinary contains strange relationships and it is only through observing the normal that the oddness becomes apparent.
‘POST’ curated by Charlie Levine in association with Hayley Lock

Set of Odd Volumes
Karen Apps, Julie Dodd, Samantha Y. Huang, Laura Keeble, Alice Mahoney
Amy Mckenny, Madelaine Murphy, Carol Ramsay, and Thurle Wright
curated by Amy Mckenny
In 1878 a group of English bibliophiles founded "The Sette of Odd Volumes". In 1887 "The Club of Odd Volumes" was formed to promote, among other things, the exhibition of books. Set Of Odd Volumes is an exhibition of artists who are putting books, maps, music and love letters through extreme processes. Some of the artists are exclusively exploring books in their practice while others have happened upon a book that inspired a new piece of work.

BASE
22nd July - 14th August 2009
BASE: The thing on which something rests, a place to stay, the main ingredient in paint or a centre of operations?
The artists in BASE: have transformed ordinary functional materials into provocative pieces of work. Playing with the mundane, and hinting at human presence (or absence), these works appear familiar and yet strangely foreign. They are ambiguous and left open to the interpretation of the viewer.
Selected works by Michael Bowdidge, Stuart Blackmore,Lisa Temple-Cox, Alice Mahoney and Beth Shapeero
