OF CONTAINERS AND FIRESTARTS

Of Containers and Firestarts was a solo-exhibition (of sorts) at Cambridge Art Galleries, Queen Square Gallery about the containers and forms that we use to share art. It brought together a photo-based work called Firestarts which is about emergency fire making, both in terms of a survival skill and the desire to de-materialize structures that oppress us; and an expansion of the solo-exhibition format which invited other artists to create event-based works outside the gallery in conversation the exhibition.
