Edition No.1 : AD HOC launched in London on Friday 31st March 6-8pm at Castor www.castorprojects.co.uk
The inaugural edition of SWAP brings together the work of Katriona Beales / Rachael Champion / Frances Disley / Jenny Dunseath / Richard Gasper / Bob Gelsthorpe / Naomi Harwin / Bruce Ingram / Joanne Lee / Sarah Pickering / Mark Scott-Wood / Duncan Wooldridge, with portfolio case designed by Izzie Lombardo.
Titled AD HOC - as both a celebration to the imperative act of making art and a nod to an alternative reaction to the dominance of the art market machine. AD HOC is dealing with a specific subject, purpose, or end, where the action of doing satisfies the task at hand, whilst applying sensibilities about being adaptable and using creative methods to achieve results with whatever materials are available. Being AD HOC now seems more than ever an integral path to surviving as an artist.
