Flogging A Dead Horse

Flogging A Dead Horse - March, Bristol

We haven't produced a show for two years, in fact we'd all but retired from doing shows, but we decided it was time to return. But why now? Well, we've been sitting back, checking what everybody else is up to and quite frankly we're bored. The urban-street-contemporary (God knows what to call it) art scene has got really safe and tedious. Too many characterless galleries producing lifeless exhibitions. Too many curators afraid to take risks. Too many events with zero quality control. Too many artists happy to churn out the same piece again and again. In short, far too little excitement...

So we're taking it back to the chaotic, rule breaking, breathtaking vibe behind our very first group shows to produce Flogging A Dead Horse (and we guarantee it won't please everyone).

The Artists
In a scene where artists are almost mega-brands and the very mention of certain names are bandied about like golden tickets guaranteeing gallery success, we've decided to keep all the artists a secret until opening night!

Commercial suicide? Maybe, but who cares, it's not supposed to be all about the money. Is it???

Venue
The Showroom
31 College Green
Bristol
BS1 5SP
(at the bottom of Park Street - click here for map)

Opening night
Friday 18th March - 7.30-9.30pm

Then open
Sat 19th - Sun 27th March - 11-7pm

P.S. If you like your art safe, easily packaged and are a fan of boring shows, or if you think that just because you can use photoshop to make an 'edgy' stencil you're an artist -this isn't for you, best stay away.

Otherwise see you there.
