The Staircase Knocked the House Over

Taken from a French nursery rhyme* the title of this exhibition implies a form of destruction from within. However, this doesn’t mean that the artists in this show break down in a negative sense of the term. They rather build up, from inside to out by creating a new frame, defiant towards yet defined by the former. Their method is one of a playful abandon intended to reinterpret the definition of ‘space’. By intervening either in, on or outside of the image they all mark their territory to compose a new configuration of local reality that is neither a true nor false representation of the original.
When the boundaries of one arena collapse there is potential for a higher form to emerge constructed from its constituent parts.

*Les Deux-Sèvres, Paul Eluard
