SICK LOVE: Inaugural Group Exhibition curated by Gillian Sneed.

It took a bit of wandering around china town with my friend to find the space, but I have no sense of direction and neither did he so it was expected. From the little crowd that had gathered in front of the building, it was obvious we’d found the place.

The title says it all. Works exploring all manor of interpretations through text, video, works on paper paintings, photographs...could be found. Featuring the works of artists, writers and curators a mix or viewpoints is presented. Packed crowds slipped and slide around the space as they tried to get a good look at the work. Of note was Jason Osborne’s works on paper with notes. His mixed media piece “Untitled”, depicted a cloud made from small-collaged pictures of breasts with a red blood like rain pouring down. The works were installed with his notes in various areas. Though he explores fear, fantasy, fetish, I wanted to take some of the notes and place on or next to the works according to my own feelings of what goes where.

All the chat made it hard to hear the video screening, but worth going back on a quieter day. All in all, I look foward to seeing what this new space produces in the coming year.
