Fair Trade: Material Matters
Shed and a Half Gallery
Studio 4
150 Curtain Road
London, EC2A 3AR
Opening 13 May
Exhibition continues until June 5th viewing by appointment
Shed-and-a-Half Gallery is on a studio rooftop in Shoreditch, London.
The venue has attracted artists who want to have a contextual backdrop
to their work.
This ongoing, Relational, textile and tnvironmental project was launched
in 2007 at Winzavod Arts Centre, the 2nd Moscow Biennale.
The Fair Trade exchange is a deliberate comment on the financial value
placed on work, but often not to benefit the artist and refers to the
process of collecting and archiving carbon copies of artists’
self-portraits. The artists keep their original drawings while copies
are used to make hand stitched drawings on recycled blankets. The
growing collection of self-portraits is both an online community and a
physical quilt that displays and promotes the artists involved.
Material Matters relates to a process of Slow Making, the basis of
Frost's work, exploring the process of making in the context of
sustainable actions and relationships as well as the time it takes to
learn about and manipulate materials. Recycled wool blankets, either
donated or found in charity shops, are the Material Matter creating the
physical work. At Shed and a Half Gallery there will be opportunity to
draw self-portraits and be included in this international artists web site.
