I went by Xpace Gallery on Friday for the opening of Parts of a Hole- an exhibition featuring (new?) work from Sara Cwynar, Tibi Tibi Neuspiel, Jesse B. Harris, Ben Schumacher, Liam Crockard, Georgia Dickie, Hugh Scott-Douglas and Aleksander Hardashnakov.
The artists shown took the concept of the readymade as a starting point for their work. Standouts were Sara Cwynar and Tibi Tibi Neuspiel's collaborative work (enlarged consumer products, like dog food, with cheeky word bubbles scrawled over them in black marker) and Hugh Scott-Douglas' large canvases with subtle printed patterns, likely created from laying the canvas over such banal items as bubble wrap and Bounce paper towel.*
*I wish I could describe these works better. There were no labels accompanying the work and the website's a dead-end (but that's the beauty of readymades, it's really f***ing tough to describe the materials).
