Viewing single post of blog The Art Work of Team Work- This or That Eagle

UAG have spent their first 2-3 months looking into the fundamentals of being an art group.

Instead of looking for similarities in our work we have taken our initial bonding ‘thing’ to be that we have differences. We have an abstract painter, an artist who uses objects and a conceptual artist with time based tendencies.

We have taken this as an opportunity to see things from a different artistic stand point and to learn/read outside of our initial influences in order to gain a more balanced and informed approach to our work.

Our first collaborative show with the fitting title of All Systems Go will see our first exploration into shared space. We will be spending every minute of the day together for the length of a 4-5 day installation and sleeping in the art space for a refreshing indulgence of our art. Looking into areas of viewing space and public space with an installed collaboration named Collaboration 1 we aim to see for ourselves what we are made of.

All Systems Go- Departure Gallery brings together a diverse group of artists who work in relation to physical and conceptual systems, which they have created or adapted as frameworks for artistic experimentation. Patterns, rules, collaborative techniques, interventions, mechanical systems and improvisation provide structured starting points which open up a multitude of possibilities for exciting artistic outcomes.This show is the latest in Departure Gallery’s acclaimed series of exhibitions and residencies on The International Trading Estate, Southall. The exhibition explores the contradictions and parallels between systematic experimentation in contemporary art and the industrial systems used in the factories and distribution units surrounding our vast warehouse space.
Address: Departure Gallery, 7 Trident Way, The International Trading Estate, Brent Road, Southall, UB2 5LF.
