Event: Small Acts of Detachment

Dates: 14 Nov 2013 - 14 Dec 2013

'Small Acts of Detachment' presents a group of Northampton based artists whose individual practices, although diverse, engage with ideas located with time and the past and its corollary memory; conceived here as contingent and fugitive experiences. Collectively the past (the bedrock of culture) is politicised, past narratives are exposed, mythologised and continually revised by their storytellers. The photograph, the memento, the diary or confessional, expose the power of memory to bridge the gap between past and present and its rich wealth of knowledge framed by cultural value, fantasy, belief and desire. The exhibiting artists are drawn from Northampton's two studio collectives, and include: Jonathan Alibone, Vivienne Dixon, Sarah Hyde, Deborah Louise James, Claire Jarvis, Mark Sibley, Alexander Small, and Pauline Wood.

Event: The Infinity Show

Dates: 19 Jul 2013 - 1 Sep 2013

Full of contradiction and paradox, The Infinity Show starts but does not end with 8 artists and every visitor of the exhibition. The exhibition is the beginnings of an idea of art as a momentary resting point for ideas, forms and the potential, yet impossible, iterations of everything.

The show brings together artists from the UK, Brazil, Egypt, Germany and beyond, working in film, drawing, print, sculpture, Spirograph, text and online media. Using self-imposed rules the artists investigate endless possibilities within geometry, philosophy, the cosmos and more. The falsehood of the infinite imbues everything with each decision both opening up and shutting down a thousand potential routes.
