Cultivate Gallery,London.Mixtape No.10 online exhibition
We enjoy putting these exhibitions together, we are very picky, we’ve gone through hundreds of pieces, we said all this last time (and the time before), we like that it forces us to look at other people’s art a little bit more, that it makes us explore people just a little more, that we’re forced to get to know the artists who make the art just a little more than we probably would if we weren’t curating these shows. Art excites and I hope that this exhibition excites you. It doesn’t really matter about the detail here, it doesn’t matter about the size or if the painting is in oil or the paper the print is on, not right here, not in terms of this show, and we don’t need a whole load of art talk and dancing around the architecture of it all for this is a simple on-line show where every images is flat and everything is pretty much the same size. I said this already up there, but what about the labels? Why just the artist’s names? What are you looking at? Is it a drawing, a photograph, a painting? Go and find out, you are essentially looking at a digital image of a piece of art, not the real thing. Who are these artists? What do they do? How big are these paintings? How small are these pieces? What is the medium? Where does the artist come from? Does she have a show coming up? Where is he exhibiting next? What do they think? What are you looking at? This time we’ve only labelled the pieces with the artist’s names, nothing more, none of the other clutter, the aim is to make you go to their websites to find the answers, go to their social media, get on their mailing lists, go follow them, this show is your doorway, please go through it and engage with the artists… One again, thank you… (sw) And as this show is called Mixtape, a mixtape of art and artists if you will, there is also a Spotify mixtape playlist down at the foot of the page
