Losers Gym present:
Rose Walsh: Don't Mention Brexit (new paintings, ancient themes & a tiny book)
... It concerns the Imps. They are together. They want fun. They’ve been to the supermarket. They have no gender. They don’t notice they're white. They live in a vacuum. Brexit/Trump is not a context. Cynicism doesn't exist. They don't like structuralism, post-structuralism or fancy french words and paradoxes. They're oblivious to the faux pas of certainty. They exist like a 5p bag. They suffer failure but always survive. Forgive them for their naiveness.
A clumsy mix of lost heritage, British magic realism, subcultural fun times and fetishized spiritualism. Muddled by the logic of imperialism, colonial nightmares and druggy wonder. All that, set in the myth and cultural weight of the English landscape.
Welcome!

Opening tonight from 18.30 Joshua Johnson: a sullen hue, Josh's first show in Nottingham, side door entrance xx

Losers Gym present Joshua Johnson: a sullen hue
Joshua Johnson works with the transmutation of ideas and the degradation of finished products, focusing on the flaws and deteriorations that can occur over time. Johnson employs a vernacular rooted in the processes and legacies of design, planning and construction, creating a dialect of architectonic forms and purported futures set against the detritus of production and environmental realities.

Peel, Tear, Patch & Repair w/ Ian Jackson, CBS, Liverpool.You think the only people who are people, are the people who look like you.
