Documentation from 'A Wall is a Surface', curated by LeandaKateLouise. "A Wall is a Surface invites 12 artists to create works directly onto the gallery walls during a two week install before the show is open to the public for seven days. The process of creating the work will be as important as the exhibition itself. Without the privacy of the studio the artist's will be making their work alongside other participants of the show. All the mistakes, happy accidents and successes that can be rectified or reworked in the studio will be transported straight to the gallery, thus bridging the gap between the two. As works begin to unfold in close proximity to one another there is potential for pieces to interact, obliterate or collaborate, prompting exciting and unexpected results." Materials list: Tulle curtain, wood, polystyrene, Jesmonite, ceramic tiles, coloured grout, emulsion paint, concrete reinforcing mesh, plywood, chalk gesso, gold leaf, rubber floor tiles, mirror, spray paint.
