BEARSPACE

 

the Assistant #2

 

Blue Curry responds to Gordon Cheung

4 June - 19 June 2010
 
Opening: 4 June 2010 - 6.30-8.30pm 

 

 

BEARSPACE, in association with Peer Sessions, is pleased to present the second in a series of exhibitions entitled The Assistant. The exhibition seeks to pair up an emerging and an established artist with similar concerns, who enter a process of dialogue and negotiation through which the emerging artist produces an exhibition.

The Assistant aims to explore the practices of both artists through this process of exchange, but also to question ideas around the construction of an exhibition, revealing something about the processes an exhibition may go through before it is realised.

A project blog accompanies the exhibition, documenting the process of exchange and decision-making.
