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.
