From The Ground Up | Critical Edge Collective
Within this concept, the collective sets about building a new ‘library’ from the ground up, each artist bringing with them a small collection of research materials to share with the group that will act as the raw materials from which another artist will respond.
With the hope of encouraging collaboration and discussion with other artists and members of the public, the collective also encourages visitors to the show to make work in response, with resulting artworks being added to the show for some of its duration.
By making new works in response to the research of their peers, the collective undermines the individualism of the current art market and places its emphasis on trust, sharing, learning and enquiry. Through questioning their own working methods and challenging the rigidity of the group show hang, the collective demonstrates its commitment to remaining curious, critical and playful in the face of increasing polarisation and division in the post-truth era.
