About

Presents: Michael Cassidy, Paul Day, Daniel Hancox, George Harding, Christopher McKinney, Phillip Rutter, Fionnagh Winston.

For Nine days only the Crypt Space, St Pancras Church will house the work of seven recent graduates of Chelsea College of Art. This is an artist run group exhibition. The organisers have chosen to venture into a new world alongside their former peers with the objective of making their mark on the contemporary art scene.

The Exhibition is a mesh of painting, sculpture and installation on the cusp of contemporary aesthetics, these elements fused through the disorientating passageways and alcoves of crypt space will deliver an explosive launch pad for these creative minds of tomorrow.

ReNonsense represents a rebirth for all concerned a show with which to launch the artists into the public domain. An opportunity to challenge our perspectives ReNonsense is the stand where our practise can be assessed in a new context outside the parameters of university structure. The crypt space while paying homage to colleagues gone by is our chamber to deliver the potential of tomorrow.
In an attempt to differ slightly from what has gone before the crypt space was chosen, where the work would not have to conform to the intentions of the everyday exhibition.

Through their occupation of space and materiality the Artists selected produce a strong, dynamic continuity which binds the work selected for the show. These connections are evident in the very building blocks with seem to both construct and conform against the various paths toward the surrounding aesthetics. The artists operate within various practises and mediums providing a diverse response to the physical raw surroundings. The conflict between each artist and the space they occupy is the most prolific denominator behind the show; it is this struggle which drives the various connections between each aesthetic entity. With the hanging somewhat compromised, the invading aesthetics don't always appear to be welcome, occasionally tucked away in the curious cabinets, it is the space which inevitably dictates to the viewer when the work may be revealed.
