 The artists create work focused on human exchange, celebrating and examining our modern culture of the interactive. Ideas and interpretations of community are the starting point for a set of projects that prod, provoke and engage. Rather than a rarified or exclusive experience, their works create a venue for discovery within the art gallery, with an implicit invitation to experience new ideas and inhabit a larger community. As a group, their work penetrates the comfortable psychic boundaries - our own “backyards” - encouraging growth.
