Lucy Mackintosh is pleased to present Working Space II, an exhibition
featuring five artists sharing a playful and dynamic approach to the
manipulation of space. Emerging from dialogue and collaboration between
Justin Hibbs and David Ben White, Working space II extends out to a wider
group of artists working with similar concerns.
Drawn from a range of disciplines including photography, painting,
sculpture, architecture and installation, the artists investigate the
gallery as a laboratory for spatial experiment. A combination of these
approaches provides the starting point for the architectural intervention of
the exhibition.
Working collaboratively to reconfigure the gallery space, the artists
challenge the usual relationship between the gallery and the artwork,
ultimately collapsing the space between the two. Whether the gallery space
becomes a work in itself, or simply a key to unlocking the strategies of the
artists within the show, is a question open to interpretation.
