Line-Up Confirmed

All 40 projects have now been confirmed, and the countdown to create the work is well and truly on. Over the next 5 months the artists involved will be thinking, sketching, experimenting, making, doing and everything in between to come up with their final piece for the exhibition in January.

We’ll see installations, sculptures, moving image, books, posters and lots more besides before we start to fill the gallery at the beginning of 2010. From now on, this blog will document how all of the contributors are getting on, giving you a behind the scenes look at how things are coming together for the grand unveiling.

If you’d like to know more about the project, please drop us an e-mail on [email protected] and you can follow us on Twitter here.

Max Lamb & Gemma Holt

Max’s furniture has been exhibited all over the world and his work is directly influenced by the materials and process used to create them - form follows material and process.

Artist Gemma Holt’s work comes from objects, materials and ideas of the everyday. The things we live with and use on a daily basis, yet so often take for granted and has taken particular interest in stationery items and patterned floor surfaces, and recently has combined the two into interior-specific installations - floors using subtly edited stationery equipment and geometric patterns composed from the shapes found in mathematical stationery sets.

The two will collaborate with the notion ‘furniture as an extension of the floor’. and pictured is a photograph taken by Max in Milan a few years ago, where the floor has become ‘three dimensional’.
