Incidents
A group exhibition curated by Goth on Bus
Kate Keara Pelen Charlotte Warne Thomas
Luke McCreadie Richard Rigg
Exhibition open to public: Friday 21st January - Saturday 13th February 2010
Goth on Bus is proud to present Incidents, a group exhibition of work by four of the most interesting and dynamic emergent young artists in Britain as selected and curated by the gallery from their respective graduation exhibitions.
The title, Incidents, refers directly to the nature of the selected work, all of which is quiet, unassuming and still; easily overlooked, it is deliberately peripheral in nature (indeed it is possible to visit the gallery without even noticing that any work is actually present) yet the works exhibited retain a great power specifically by operating within these peripheral margins.
For the artists represented in this exhibition, there rests a collective interest in this affective capacity of overlooked actions or objects to jolt us into an extended reality, or a clarity of being. As the human brain only processes sufficient information to get by, filtering out most events around us, occasionally, something unexpected - so thoroughly out of context or place - breaches this filtration, making itself apparent to our senses and jarring so much that it forces us back into a relation with the rest of the world. Objects hidden in full view, objects which contain vertiginous changes of scale and objects which produce a self-referential looping all act to reveal an incident as an event in it's own right, or, to bastardise the term from physics, an incident as an intersection of a trajectory with a surface, like two worlds colliding into one another, momentarily rupturing both.
Goth on Bus is a non-profit experimental arts space in Greenwich, London.

Description
Goth on Bus does not represent artists in the traditional manner of commercial art galleries and does not sell work on the artist's behalf; rather, Goth on Bus selects and invites artists producing interesting works in a variety of media to exhibit in the space to promote their work whilst striving to promote contemporary art within the local community.
In lieu of any economic transactions, exhibiting artists donate one piece of work on paper to the Goth on Bus archive rather than paying the gallery any commission or hire charge.
