Matt Ager in Stardust Boogie Woogie at Monika Bobinska Gallery

03 July 2010

Stardust Boogie Woogie, Version II 6-11 July

Private View Saturday 10th July, 6-9.30 pm

An exhibition curated by Louise Ashcroft at Monika Bobinska Gallery involving 5 experimental contemporary art galleries.

Artists: Charlesworth, Lewandowski & Mann; Mark Selby, Matt Ager, Thorbjorn Andersen, Patricia Lennox-Boyd, Blue Curry, The Royal Standard Collective.

Stardust Boogie Woogie is based on the concepts of collaboration explored in Surrealist games such as 'Exquisite Corpse' and parallel collage.

Louise Ashcroft, curator of Departure Gallery, has invited the collective Charlesworth, Lewandowski & Mann to create a framework structure onto which other artists will build from day to day to create a final collaborative sculpture.

The artists have been nominated by the curator and by five experimental spaces - us, The Royal Standard, Schwartz Gallery, Supplement and The Woodmill.

Ashcroft describes the process as 'collaboration as an anarchic struggle between imposing, perhaps contradictory visions. This method of co-authorship parallels the ways that cultures and histories develop'.

Open: Tue-Sun 10am-6pm (NB each day features the work in progress of a different artist or artist group)

Events: Sun 11 July 3-5pm - Discussion about alternative forms of collaboration
