Canary presents:
Your Show Here
(20 mini Canary Galleries)

Exhibition 23 -27 May 2006

As we contemplated our immanent closing at the end of July, we realised some artists and curators, crafters and dawdlers among our community had missed their chance to show with us. It was too late. Yet - we provided the opportunity to see a show realised, in a shoe box sized Canary Gallery inside the real Canary, with all the other could have been shows.

Your Show Here featured 20 mini canary galleries - these shoe-box sized cardboard-constructed, white washed galleries are a scale size of 1% of the gallery at 58cm X 23cm and 45cm tall. They provided the opportunity to make the exhibition too ambitious and expensive to make at full-scale or a site specific small gallery for the small work enthusiast.

We had an ovewhelming response to our propostion - to create a mini Canary Gallery show - with nineteen artists removing the entire edition of twenty galleries.

Your Show Here features twenty Canary Galleries, with shows by: Marie Shannon / Suza Lawrence / Judy Darragh / Carolin Casey / Nyle Major / Julian Dashper / MJ Kjarr / Susan Coombes / J A Wallace / Glenn McLay / Paula Booker / Daisy Jackson / Victoria Chidly / Siobhan Garrett / Karen Booker / Tim Coster / Gaelen Macdonald / Finn Ferrier / Christina Read.
