Art supergroup, the 1%-ers - a gaggle of roaming artists, siphoned forth from other various collectives - present the second leg of their ‘Banality & Big Questions’ tour, as part of Nottingham's NOTLOST festival – helmed by curator Allan Binns.
______________________________________________________
As the title suggests, 'Banality and Big Questions' is an exploration of the knotted relationship between the two paradoxical themes.
Throughout the forthcoming year (and hopefully beyond), the 1%-ers will tour ‘Banality & Big Questions’, intent on acting as a traveling soapbox for a listless generation - dissecting and prodding fun at life’s profane and profound, leaving more questions than answers in their meandering wake.
Curator Binns is hell-bent on superseding the totemic nature of the ‘umble art gallery by transmogrifying it into a vital space, an experience set in perpetual flux, an experience that can be ‘lived through’. Sound may seep through walls like oil through a sponge and one artist's work may bleed into that of another – such is the complexity of the dialogue being forcibly coaxed between every available entity.
The artist is not as important as the work, and the work is not as important as the whole.
