‘Instruction does not determine the outcome; on the contrary, the instruction is a device for evading authorial or artistic agency and so generating chance events and unexpected results.'- Introduction, Aesthetics of Chance, Margaret Iverson.

About

On 15th July Ten artists of differing ages, background and media came together to perform one singular task. The first artist, inspired by a word/book/sentence chosen at random, created an artwork within a weeks timespan. This unattributed work was then used to inspire the next artist and so on. Thus each artist re-imagines new aesthetic possibilites. Differing markedly from the conventions of creative and curatorial practice this exhibition is initially shaped through a chance procedure. The work then undergoes a process of mutation through the eye and the hand of each individual artist over the ten-week period before culminating in an entirely unpredictable result. By limiting the period of conception and realisation to seven days the artist's work is forced to be impulsive and responsive to that which went before, producing a creative chain. Artists and backgrounds involved: theatre, sculpture, painting, dance, audio/visual practices and more.
