Artist-teachers Siobhan Tate & Marq Kearey bring together 28 artists over two artist collectives to produce an exhibition to mark the end of their time in residence at Shaftesbury Avenue.
The WIT Collective (standing for What Is That) explore the various dynamics of form in space with interventionist responses.
Darren O’Brien and Marq Kearey curate a vigorous collection of objects and paintings. Playing in space, the works form a cluster of imagined experiences, expressed in two-dimensions.
