Gisèle Gonon & Alex Chalmers - (working title) – exhibition view

To exhibit is to occupy
a given space for a given time. It aims to share curated content with those who
wish to encounter it, immerse themselves in it.
To exhibit is to make
public. The means to continue with an exhibition during the current CoronaVirus
situation and its impact on art spaces, led us to rethink a sharing process in
a lockdown context, to keep things open. This position echoes the name of
gr_und. Which has a double meaning when translated into English – ground and
reason. The name is connected to the physicality of the space which has a
cobble stone floor you would normally find outside on the street, and reflects
the meaning of what it is to make an artist’s run space exist.
(working title) is a
work in progress, which questions the status of the work through its stages of
production, and deals with the process of sharing it with the public. The
starting point is the given situation with which the work forms a bond, an
interdependence between what is already there and what the artist’s bring in.
The exhibition is
conceived as an arrangement of different types of spaces, where and when
artworks blend together, oscillating between personal experiences and common
narratives, created through collaborative work with the members of gr_und, on
the specific context of the gallery by considering its space as a receptive,
interactive and open surface.
