Working Title

‘Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together’ – Marilyn Monroe

This summer aspex will undertake a rag and bone-style collection of unwanted domestic and small-scale industrial items within Portsmouth & Southsea. Selected artists will take these objects, which are no longer fit or have served their purpose and will turn them into something that is potentially beautiful and definitely different.

aspex’s main gallery space will function as both workshop and exhibition space with artists working for fixed periods throughout the project. Visitors will be able to access the gallery, observe and talk to the artists while they transform cast offs into new creations or incorporate them into performances. An auction will take place during the final weekend of the show, where the artist’ work will be available to the highest bidder.

Working Title is part-financed by the European Union, and is part of Landscapes, Cities, People, a project which aims to broaden audiences for contemporary visual art in the UK, France & Belgium.

During Working Title a blog was kept to show the progress and processes involved during the exhibition, for more information go to http://workingtitleexhibition.wordpress.com
