Plonk

Def:

Sit down heavily or carelessly

2) To play unskilfully


Spruce, to primp, grooming, and tarting up.

Here are just some of the phrases that are optimistic within ‘Plonk’ - an exhibition of the dank, the dingy. From Duchamp’s urinal, to the collages of rubbish from Tim Noble and Sue Webster, the concept of waste and the uninviting is firmly engrained within contemporary culture. ‘Plonk’ is an exhibition that sits comfortably within this tradition - offering artists a ‘hard-featured’ and ‘misshapen’ hovel to display their work, whether they decide to beautify, or horrify within its context.

Featuring the works of 12 artists, this exhibition will sit as a dank cornerstone to various forms of practice.

Open from the 3rd to the 6th of May, Private view: Saturday 5th May (6-9pm)
