Today’s invigilator spent this hour considering work, art and art work. They also spent some time contemplating the painting untitled by Alan Mackerel. After much contemplation the invigilator decided that midpointness, at that moment, did not require further art work. And certainly not a new exhibition within the exhibition. It needed some work. The invigilator swept the floor and touched up some painting of the walls and skirting board. The invigilator decided that all current artworks within the show would be much improved by some work. After all this, the artworks in the show looked new to the invigilator.

       Installed Kate Buckley’s latest additions to her Ongoing series:

Midpointness is an evolving project which seeks to equate itself along the lines of a conceptual model of the cosmic. Over the course of 4 weeks, this group exhibition, featuring works by 27 UK and international artists will change and evolve, grow and diminish, pulsate through the works of the artists and the participation of the audience. Curatorial control will, at times be handed over to Gallery staff and exhibition visitors, both live and remote. Through this egalitarian, hierarchy-free approach, Midpointness will seek to explore the nature of the artist, the exhibition, the audience and the work of art.
