The group show "Little Weeds - Small Acts of Tenderness & Violence" is also opening as part of the festival. Curated by my friend and past lecturer, Lisa Harms, the exhibition showcases the works of 17 artists, such as Sera Waters, Sally Parnis and Lyn Wood, and I'm lucky enough to be included.
The works I've decided to include are a video installation (a reworking of a piece from 2009) and new Viewmaster works.
I've spent quite a bit of time this week hanging the works giving Lisa a hand, and I have to say, she knows how to put a show together. The space has been transformed. There's not one part of the show that isn't carefully thought over.
It's been my first ever contact with the Format Festival and I've been having a ball hanging the work and just generally hanging around the Format Space on Peel Street. Such a great group of characters.
The festival is continuing for a couple weeks, I strongly suggest you check out the Format Guide and get into it.
As for the Little Weeds show, Lisa has put together a website that is pretty interactive and she's even put up individual artist's pages which is pretty spiffy. Here's mine!
Lisa was kind enough to ask me to photograph the works included in the show and has created a flickr account with the images. She even gave me the photographer's credit on every image, gotta love that! So thorough.
Hope to see you at Format.
