WHAT IS THE POINT - LONDRA

6th – 28th JUNE 2013

‘What Is The Point?’ is a group exhibition for UK and International 2D
artists. Supported by the Adam Street Gallery on the Strand, London, the
exhibition will run for the month of June 2013.
Organised by artist Kate Enters, this is a group show of 17 contemporary UK
and International artists who do not currently have formal UK gallery
representation. All have agreed to support this initiative as a collaborative
artistic process and all are responding to the title of the exhibition by
creating a new artwork for this occasion. The artists were chosen by a
committee from a long list of applicants. Rules and regulations have been
agreed that cover everything from the size of the artwork to bringing a set
number of guests to the private view.
An example of the debate this title offers to an artist is outlined in these
initial statements from two of the artists involved:
‘Most of us in our daily lives are missing the true point, the true nature of
reality. We clutter our consciousness with compulsive thought, memories, and
negativity that gain control over us and rule our lives.’ Michael Ryan
‘Am I looking to create art based on the question, or am I looking to answer
the question in my piece? From which metaphorical location is this question
asked? How can I shape this complex abstract question into a tangible piece
of art?’ Ellen Kemad
Kate Enters decided to set up this initiative to support artists with
incredible potential to reach a wider audience in and beyond the Art world.
She has often expressed the opinion that individuals working alongside each
other create power through their numbers and their sharing of information and
contacts. Therefore this exhibition is the inaugural collaboration of what
she hopes will become an annual feature on the International Art Calendar.
She is supported by a strong committee:
Steven Pottle – Artist and Poet; Peter D-Eugenio – Art collector and
entrepreneur; Bradley Mallet – Artist; Vivi Ibru Stankov - Collector of
International Contemporary Art.
Adam Street is delighted to be supporting this new initiative for UK and
International contemporary artists. The club is renowned for its cultural
support within the London social scene and regularly exhibits contemporary
artists within the gallery space.
