Black Rat Projects is delighted to invite you to our forthcoming show ‘Small Acts of Resistance’.
In ‘Small Acts of Resistance’ Black Rat Projects brings together six international contemporary artists whose work bears the stamp of both the artist’s aesthetic vision and the activist’s world changing ambition. Works by Peter Kennard, .Masters, Matt Small, Know Hope, and Armsrock will be on display from Thursday 4th November –Tuesday 30th November 2010.
In addition to this, there will be a large-scale site specific installation created by Swoon.
Occupying public space - whether it is within the realms of media and advertising or the architectural surface of the cities in which they work and live - has become a core characteristic of the way these five artists work. They have had their work published in books and magazines, shown in galleries, pasted in the streets and have performed in front of audiences. Between them they disrupt the smooth image that corporate capitalism seeks to spread at once highlighting its repressive character. An interventionist spirit informs their artistic practices and they are constantly engaged in a process of understanding how their work might function in the world, in a way that supports, and not conflicts with their ideals.
