Beg Steal and Borrow

Philip Colbert | Haley Morris-Cafiero | Yinka Shonibare CBE | Ori Gersht | Melinda Gibson | Stuart Hilton | Birgitta Hosea | Steffi Klenz | Simon Patterson | Andreas Schmidt | John Stezaker | Gavin Turk | Jessica Voorsanger

26th February - 7th March 2020

Recycling, borrowing, stealing, shamelessly ripping off... artists scavenge. They remix. They find new pathways, links and meanings. They plunder from past or present to create debate. In 'steal this essay' Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson poses the question: 'What imagery is so pervasive that claims of ownership seem facile? And are artists in their ability and need to comment on contemporary culture, thereby somehow entitled to universal usage?' Art is timeless, but art is also provisional, one iteration of an idea giving way to another: Raphael and Diego Velázquez to Édouard Manet, Andy Warhol to Sturtevant, Walker Evans to Sherrie Levine, in our digital age, these iterations are becoming far speedier.

Substance Bundle - a group show bringing together artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, film, and performance - reflects on how containment can be a tool to both enable and restrain. The dictionary definition of containment is 'an action which keeps something harmful under control or within limits'. What these limits are, however, or what the contained object or entity is, shift constantly depending on context. Language itself not being immune to change, this show temporarily replaces a dictionary definition of 'containment' with the nonverbal efforts of the included works.
