The Anti Gallery Gallery Show
8-29 January 2015


Opening event: Thursday 8 January 6-9pm

35 artists and art groups are staging a takeover of the Espacio Gallery in January 2015 to turn it into a demonstration site, an encounter space and an ideas laboratory.

Instigated by the
Degrees of Freedom artist collective, the Anti Gallery Gallery Show is an experiment in finding ways for artists to change their relationship with each other, their artworks and the public within a traditional gallery space so as to subvert its governing ethos- competitive individualism within a consumerist culture.

The Show is designed as a festival rather than a normal exhibition and aims to create an ever changing, boisterous and engaging experience inside and outside the gallery space. The ambition is to engage artists and visitors, make them think, play and take part in ways that are thought provoking as well as fun.

The takeover is supported by Carlos de Lins, Director of the Espacio Gallery. ”The Anti Gallery Gallery Show makes some very serious points about the nature of the art world and having them made in a gallery space adds an interesting dimension to what they are saying”.

The Show features installations, performances, constructed situations, encounters and happenings that challenge the values, rituals, practices and conventions of the gallery culture. All artworks will be created or completed at the gallery or require participation from visitors.

About Degrees of Freedom
"Degrees of Freedom are a collective of artists working in sculpture, video and installations. Our aim is to interrogate what it means to live in a free society.  Freedom is not given, it has to be negotiated in each situation. Freedom has limits, and we must consciously decide what we want these limits to be, otherwise others will decide it for us. Our interventions aim to investigate, make conscious and challenge the contours of freedom in specific situations."
