The Resilient Self
27 July - 7 August 2020
Private View: 30 July 5:30 - 8:30pm

It’s one thing to present your art honestly to the world, it’s quite another to turn that gaze on yourself. We live in the age of the ‘selfie,’ where reality can be pushed through endless filters until every hint of vulnerability is erased. In this show, all filters are removed as each artist presents an artwork that gives the viewer a glimpse of their authentic self.

We've had to spend time with ourselves during lockdown, being in one space for a long period of time, forcing us to self reflect, to uncover, discover and explore new ways of expressing ourselves. This exhibition is about the Self, the resilient self.

Organised and curated by Renee Rilexie and The Artists' Pool

CONCEPTUAL BOREDOM - The Exhibition
11-16 August 2020

Conceptual Boredom, is a photography project that explores our connection with our homes, our things, our food and our bored minds during the
Covid-19 outbreak. The initiative aims to raise money for NHS Charities Together, in order to support the health and well-being of front-line NHS staff that don’t get to be bored during the crisis.

Conceived and developed by the creative team Camila Gurgel and
Ieva Paulina, the photographic series documents the boredom of life in lockdown.

In the images, Gurgel and Paulina have used everyday objects to create surreal scenarios and shapes. The pieces (surprisingly all shot on iPhone) are designed to be both highly relatable and abstract at the same time.

In the upcoming exhibition the public can expect to experience more than 60 photographic pieces as well as art installations and exclusive new work.

Half of the profits will also be donated to the NHS Charities Together to keep giving support to those saving our lives everyday.

And more good news. The fans of the project will have the chance to have a shot of their own as part of the exhibition. All you need to do is share your version of Conceptual Boredom on your Instagram page and tag @conceptualboredom on the caption. The most creative shot will be exhibited along side the collection.

The event will follow any social distancing rules applying at the moment of the exhibition, but please get in touch via DM on the @conceptualboredom Instagram page if you’d like to arrange a private viewing.
