I am exhibition some balsa wood and some card and wire sculptures in the Norwich 20 Group show at the Espacio Gallery, 159 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 7DG.
The exhibition runs from 5th - 11th December 2012, 13.00-19.00 hrs daily.
Other artists exhibiting are: Martin Battye, Katarzyna Coleman, Oliver Creed, David Jones, Martin Laurence, Geoffrey Lefever, Mary Mellor, John Midgley, Ros Newman and John Rance. For more info about the Norwich 20 Group, go to www.norwich20group.co.uk.
The Espacio Gallery is a new collective enterprise and the inspiration of gallery director Carlos de Lins. It will be interesting to track how this initiative develops - the capital investment on the lease is a considerable liability for an artist-run gallery to meet and it means building up a large number of members. The difficulty will be, as I see it, in creating a strong enough identity whilst enabling a wide variety of artists to share shows. But if a high quality can be maintained, then Espacio might perhaps find an audience amongst those looking for a range of affordable work by artists who don't generally have the opportunity to exhibit in London.
