OBJECTION – Group Show Exploring Art and the Ordinary

This exhibition brings together four artists, Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Hayley Harrison, Anne Parfitt and Nick Pearson, who each explore the relationship between art and the ordinary through their work with found and discarded objects and materials. “Objection” points the viewer to the opaque and shifting boundaries between art and not-art – to art’s uncertainty. Plastic bags, beachcombed wood, the ‘stuff’ people leave on pavements, and charity shop souvenirs – such everyday residue or trash, embodying past histories and cultural meanings, become vehicles in the creative process for both transformation and reflection.
