Private View: 'DIY: Samantha Donnelly, Mia Goyette, Russell Hill, Hannah Regel'

The use of everyday objects in art has been widely discussed heralding Duchamp's first readymade as the instigator of this mode of production. What has yet to be the focus of investigation is the influence of consumerism and its effects since the 1950s, making explicit allusion to alternative ways of consuming and creating.

This exhibition works towards disrupting the normalised discourse on the use of everyday objects in art. Looking beyond the initial concerns of the readymade, existing objects are brought together, re-configured, and re-contextualised through the work of Samantha Donnelly, Mia Goyette, Hannah Regel and Russell Hill.
