Michael Pennie Gallery
Locksbrook Campus, Bath Spa University From 8th to 30th March, 2021 Lou Baker, Tim Heath, Sarah Kniveton Real Space is a series of changing exhibitions. The works are diverse, and they might be disparate. They have come together for the accidental reason that their makers kept talking to each other throughout this last, curious, year. Since the lockdowns began, the artists showing here met online each week to hold onto those crucial conversations that keep ideas flowing. Real Space is a practice-led research project, part exhibition, part residency, presented as a working test space. After a year of isolation and restrictions, being in a physical space and installing work in a gallery is a privilege. "We plan to experiment with imaginative and playful ways of showing recent work and work in progress. We think we share some common themes. But they might be hard to spot. Or we might be wrong. We think the variety on display is interesting. But it might just be confusing. We’re pretty sure we’ll not display things perfectly to start with, so we’ll move things about to find out. We’ll share our thoughts about it all, here and on Instagram. We’re very happy to talk about what we’re up to (online or in person), and glad to hear your thoughts." (Because of Covid restrictions the gallery is open only to staff and students with access to the Locksbrook campus of Bath Spa University.) Lou Baker:
