good things come... Gallery Exhibition
In April, artist Kevin Hunt and our Exhibitions Manager Hannah Jones opened their co-curated show ‘good things come…’ featuring work from 17 international sculpture artists, aiming to reveal how the size of an object and our attention upon it (as artists and spectators) is intrinsically linked to time.
To find out about the exhibition, we sat down for a chat with exhibiting artist and curator, Kevin Hunt – watch it now above.
Filmed and edited by Round One Films Ltd – run by BA (Hons) Film graduates Robert Marshall and Aden Barwick.
Starting off our Sculpture Season in the Gallery is ‘good things come…’ an exhibition showcasing work by a variety of artists exploring objects and time through sculpture.
Blink and you’ll miss it. The words conjure up a kind of panic of not wanting to lose sight of the protagonist ‘thing’ by keeping it locked into view. This 'thing' could be small, it might even be tiny (and therefore easy to miss) yet once found, the inevitability of time means that sooner or later you’ll have to give in and blink.
good things come... proposes a scenario that contradicts this quandary by suggesting a world where the size of an object and our attention upon it (as artists and spectators) is intrinsically linked to time.
Pursuing a dual concept governed by the multiple readings of this well-known phrase, good things come... presents small-scale selections and scaled-up collections. Complex objects of varying ages fuse history with form, implying that the more time we have to spend with a thing (and therefore the longer we wait) the greater the reward (perhaps even in the smallest of ways).
The exhibition features an eclectic range of new and old works from 17 established and emerging artists, all of whom work with sculpture. It seeks to question the concept of time, asking audiences to consider each item in the exhibition.
