Bizarre Bazaar @ Pallas Contemporary Projects

I will be showing a hardback book version of arrangement150 in Bizarre Bazaar, this year's annual group show at Pallas Contemporary Projects. Opening 7-9pm Thursday 25th November. Running until 18th December.

'.....an open platform for the exchange of ideas, where every idea has its price. This years’ annual group exhibition will explore a certain tendency of the bazaar, for which the gallery will be set up as a market for the duration of the exhibition. Artworks of various sizes and prices, editions, fanzines, long playing records and artists’ books, have been donated by, temporarily estranged from, hoodwinked and wrestled out of the hands of esteemed, established and emerging artists, our colleagues and friends.'
