INFO "17 Ingredients Mesures of Autonomy" SHOW



"17 Ingredients: Measures of Autonomy is a group exhibition showcasing the work of recent MA graduates from Byam Shaw College, London. The exhibition at Studio One is the first to present works by the artists in a space independent from the college, suggesting new directions for each practice, each one part of a thriving whole.The show is the result of a productive process that has involved, by necessity, a collaborative approach to working. At the same time the artists have been engaged in refining a sense of autonomy in their work – in advance of its presentation within the wider context of visual culture – thus ensuring an exceptional richness to the mix. Their working processes have culminated in a shared practice of locating and examining the meaning produced by their works – a meaning that always oscillates between transparency and dissolution.Just as intellectual and creative exchange exists amongst the artists, this flux in meaning is experienced across and between the works in the show.17 Ingredients: Measures of Autonomy highlights the transition of the artists’ practice from within the institution to the outside world. It treads a line between finding shared themes, while also highlighting the problems in doing so with such a seemingly disparate group of artists. The exhibition highlights the almost arbitrary way in which the artists have found themselves thrown together but, conversely, how they are essential elements to the collective outcome.A fully illustrated catalogue, with essays by Shama Khanna, Dean Kenning and Chris Kul-Want, will be published to accompany the exhibition. Studio One is open Thursday to Monday, 11am to 6pm."
