The Workers : Casswell, Clout, Collis, Harvey, Hinshelwood, Morrell

26 Feb-2 Apr 2016

Overview

Successful artists have always employed studio assistants, their contribution glossed over in the narratives surrounding the artworks. 'The Workers' interleaves pieces by five artists who have been Susan Collis's long term studio assistants, together with new drawings by Collis. Their diverse backgrounds and approaches to art-making have contributed to the life of the studio. In acknowledging these relationships, the exhibition makes visible an obscured economy of manufacture, informal training and subsumed creativity. It values the unvalued, choosing to celebrate lines of mutual support, cross-pollination and resonance.
