Abundance is the culmination of x3, a three-year collaborative project between ActionSpace, Project Ability and Venture Arts celebrating the excellence of their work with learning disabled artists. All three artists in this exhibition have significant bodies of work and are being shown on a larger scale for the first time in this exhibition. Selector Sonia Boué said:
‘There is an abundance of line, colour, texture, energy and talent, which I would love audiences to experience in real life, after such prolonged periods of confinement and remote contact. My vision is for audiences to connect with the immediacy, energy and abundance of life within the three selected practices.’
Following the Glasgow exhibition at Project Ability, Abundance will tour to Manchester and London in 2023. x3 is a collaborative project between ActionSpace, Project Ability and Venture Arts which began in the Covid19 lockdown, as a way of connecting these three organisations and showcasing their artists’ work through digital exhibitions.
x3 is part of the Explorers Project.
Explorers is a dynamic collaborative programme of art and action that opens up routes into artistic practice for neurominorities, dismantling attitudinal and systemic barriers to representation and rights in art and society. Explorers is led by Project Art Works, in conjunction with eight key partners: ActionSpace, Autograph, BALTIC, IntoArt, MK Gallery, Outside In, Photoworks and Venture Arts.
