The artwork in this exhibition covers a variety of themes, and much of it has been made during the Express Collaboration Zoom workshops. Tanya’s idea was to bring a large group of artists together, mostly online, where they discussed and made artwork in response to themes chosen by one another.
Reaching as far as Australia and Sweden, the artists took turns leading online workshops, sharing their chosen theme and why it inspired them. Each artist then responded to this theme by making an artwork. Some of the themes include, “What’s your fairytale”, “Childhood”, “Embodied Drawing”, “Local” and many more.
With an Express UK leg, and an Express International leg, the exhibition comprises 24 artists, 5 support studios, and 4 countries. As well as Project Ability, Blue Room - Studio Me in Liverpool, Figment Arts in Brighton, Inuti in Sweden and Arts Projects Australia have all contributed to Express Collaborations.
The many themes that intertwine through this project, and the variety of different artists involved with it over the last year, has resulted in a captivating array of imagery, ideas and collaborative artworks. Express Collaborations is a wonderful example of artists, all of whom identify as having a disability, coming together to encourage, share and develop their art practices, through the mentorship of Tanya and the encouragement of each other.
Join us at the gallery for the reception on Thursday 6th of March, where Tanya will give a talk about the exhibition
