Would Silence the Apology

Would Silence the Apology was the eighth show to be held at ‘thirtyfive-a’, an artist run gallery/studio/event space in central Brighton. Curated by Robert Dingle and Tom Trevatt this is the first show to exhibit exciting new work by internationally acclaimed artists including Mary Anne Francis, Mark Anstee, Naomi Salaman, Mick Hartney and Susan Diab among others. The work was curated amongst a fragmented field of furniture, junk, industrial remnants, organic matter, tools/equipment, wood, walls, passageways, doors, models, tunnels and other miscellaneous items.

This significant exhibition of spatial unpredictability and behavioural awkwardness, full of semantic detours, ruptured lines of flight and disjointed deluges, disrupts preconceptions of curatorial practice and formal modes of displaying art. In this gesture the boundaries between artwork, practice and curatorial input are no longer so clearly delineated. The viewer is thrust into a space of differences, misunderstandings, cul-de-sacs, visual confusion, corporeal excess and impossible desires that refuse an easy interpretive negotiation.
