Everything’s Great!

A belated ad for the group exhibition Everything’s Great! featuring Louise Woodcock, Jennifer Mcdonald, Gary Fisher and me. Situation at The Hive gallery in the Wheatsheaf shopping centre, Rochdale, the show has already reached a wide and varied audience, from regular gallery-goers to very confused shoppers. The work was made largely in response to the space and its location. A bright, tacky aesthetic, undercut by an underlying tone of darkness and deviance makes for a ‘shopping experience’ that (from reading visitor’s comments) both amuses and unsettles. On until March 6th.

Matt Dalby has reviewed the show, in his usual hyperactive style, here.
