Sluice aims to provide an alternative gauge for the current of contemporary art by showcasing non-profit artist-run galleries and projects from the UK and beyond. In 2011 the debut Sluice Art Fair acted as a forum for the most exciting, challenging and innovative British and international art being made today.
The 2012 edition of Sluice art fair will manifest itself as a publication and an exhibition in which all of the work will be auctioned. The whole event will function as a fundraiser for Sluice art fair 2013. The Sluice publication will be launched on the evening the auction draws to a close on the 24th October at HANMI GALLERY in Fitzrovia, London.
Sluice is a project run by artist/curators for artist/curator-run, emerging & non-profit projects and as such the Sluice 2012 publication is intended to continue this profiling of artist/curator run galleries. The publication will consist of work submitted by the artists and curators that run the galleries and projects that Sluice exists to profile. The publication is a strictly limited edition of 100, which will feature limited edition works of art by significant and exciting artists from galleries and project spaces from across the UK and abroad. Galleries and projects participating in the Sluice2012 publication include:
Aid and Abet / Anarch / A Plan / Bloc Projects / Lubomirov-Easton / Filmarmalade / IMT Gallery / Marmite Prize / studio1.1 / Theodore:Art / The Modern Language Experiment / Transition /
The Sluice2012 publication will be on sale at Hamni Gallery for the duration of the sluice exhibition/auction.
The exhibition will be comprised of work donated to sluice for the purposes of raising funds for Sluice art fair 2013. The auction will be both silent and blind.
