Over and Out | Group Pop-up Show

Imperial Works presents Over and Out, a group pop-up exhibition showcasing the work of 20 emerging artists to celebrate the imminent destruction of the building. The exhibition comprises a diverse range of works including sculpture, installation, video installation, painting and photography. Many of the pieces are previously unseen or created specially for the building and reflect the transience of the space and its short occupation.

Adopting as its title the closing line of a radio transmission, Over and Out addresses the conventional one-way model of visual communication from artist to viewer: the art object, event or gesture imposes itself onto an audience that are only able to contemplate and discuss. Whilst some of the work seeks to subvert this model, much attempts to utilise it. Truths are altered or fabricated, play is regarded as labour and the mundane or frivolous is transformed. A private space made public, Imperial Works hosts a free-for-all discussion about the transient, contextual nature of value and authenticity.
