Abstract

OUTPOST- beyond the usual exhibition site or observed site. Spanning photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, film and performance, Outpost brings together 29 artists from the Bermondsey Artists’ Group, BAG, at Shortwave. Outpost is an open call to showcase the diverse range of practices that exist amongst local artists. Different discourses are revealed and some unexpected shared concerns emerge against the backdrop of the social space at Shortwave. Outpost can be seen as a snapshot of what is going on in the BAG artists’ studios at the moment. It is informal and not staged around a thematic exhibition. Outpost reveals a community of artists willing to share their creative outputs with their peers and the public alike and the start of a dialogue across boundaries, be those creative, social, political, or other. Outpost is an invitation for the local community to come together socially and meet one another at Shortwave. Public engagement and social gatherings and events are seen as an integral part of this BAG show. There will be performance and interactive events on the private view evening and during the exhibition.

More Information

Additional Information:	Little Pink Bush is a very short film about gender, colour and place. Made by artists Lewis Paul and Sarah Taylor it charts the lost world of Elizabeth Burris-Meyer the American colour theorist who has been written out of the colour history of Art, and Art and design. The artists take her rare surviving colour books from the 1940’s on a journey back to the light of Connecticut USA to explore the complexity of her colour fields. This short artist’s film gathers the remnants of Burris-Meyer’s surviving work and reveals how wondrous this colour work is. Simple, sure and surprisingly contemporary Burris’s work takes on new appeal. This film celebrates our pleasure in looking and reinstates the importance of female colourists against the canon of male dominance in painting… all in under four minutes! https://cgplondon.org/about/bermondsey-artists-group-2/
