About

Inch by IN:CH changes as it travels around the South West encouraging interaction with passers-by

The aim of this travelling art exhibition is to engage everyone in viewing art by bringing it out of the gallery and into public spaces.  This gives visitors a chance to happen upon it as well as encouraging planned journeys. The exhibition will evolve and adapt to each place it is being shown, from shop windows to woodland glades, steam railways to parks.

11 south west based artists have packed their artwork in a case from which the piece can emerge at the different venues, with the cases themselves being an integral part of the exhibition. Each case contributes to the work, and each has its own character. Some are large with the work spilling beyond its frame; others are smaller, more self-contained. Some request the viewer to stand back and wonder, while others invite them to peer closer and become more intimate. Ranging in size, scope and materiality, the artworks reflect the diversity of the artists’ practice – including, painting, sound, assemblage, sculpture and light. 

During Frome Festival 3-11 July, there will be some pieces in shop windows, and others in Frome Museum. This creates a dual aspect to the exhibition. The work in shop windows will be on show day and all night, while the pieces in the museum are in parts of the building rarely open to visitors: in the spiral staircase and the basement, with access on the junction of Bridge Street and North Parade.

Visitors to the exhibition in Frome will be encouraged to follow the trail through town, spotting the cases in shop windows, starting or ending at the museum to see the others. There will also be opportunities to take part in workshops and drawing sessions with the artists, which will be carefully set up to keep them safe to attend.

For those who cannot visit the tour in person there are a series of audio interviews with the artists, and an online gallery showing the work being made, and in situ.  See also Instagram @inchbyinchuk. For further information visit the website: www.inchbyinch.uk
