Wall-based exhibition
DC Gallery, Eastbourne, 2017
The project curator, Karen Tilley, happened across a discarded bag with unknown contents hanging on a telegraph pole and took a photo. When reflecting on the image, inspired by the Year of Dada and in the spirit of chance, Karen decided to invite 5 women from the Blue Monkey Network to use the image to create their own artwork.
A Dadaist take on serendipity. Criteria: monochrome palette, standard paper size, A4
The artworks displayed were a result of each woman’s individual artistic insight and personal response to the original image.
This project demonstrated the diversity of artistic styles and ways of seeing that can be inspired by a found image, used as a catalyst to provoke work outside of their established artistic boundaries.
Proposal: The opportunity to display the work in a non-gallery space would continue the theme of images being found or seen by chance and how they provoke individual responses in the viewer.
