Will Foster and Guyan PorterIntermedia, Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art
16.04 - 25.04. 2010Opening: 16.04.2010 19.00 - 21.00
SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE aims to confront, challenge, deneutralise, magnify and make visible those tiny little sentences that could be detrimental to your expectations as a consumer, and your rights as a citizen.
‘Small print – noun. 1 printed matter in small type. 2 inconspicuous but binding details or conditions printed in an agreement, advertisement or contract.’ Oxford English Dictionary, 2009
In SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE, Will Foster and Guyan Porter will take up residence in Centre for Contemporary Arts, Intermedia for a two week period. The artists will create a laboratory, focusing on ‘making small print visible’ in the production of a series of texts, prints and digital research.
CCA Intermedia will be transformed into a publicly accessible centre for researching, exploring, reconsidering and re-presenting the enormity of small print and ambiguous text that floods contemporary society. By confronting and magnifying these subliminal texts, the artists and participants will make visible what is usually meant to go unread or unseen. This will be achieved through a range of methods including hand painted and screen printed posters and signs taking the print out of the art gallery and disseminating it through new and established networks.
Will Foster and Guyan Porter have both developed significant bodies of work in the areas of socially and politically engaged art, organising shows, events and lectures throughout the world. In 2008 they initiated the project Protest Songs, carrying out a series of sixteen performances on the Fyksusund Fjord in Norway. With the upcoming project SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE the artists will further develop the themes that have characterised their collaborative projects. This time within the context of a contemporary art gallery and under the banner of an international art festival. The Artists will provide a stage for participation and dialogue inviting others to explore the complex subject of ‘small print’- an element of media and institutional output that is ever present yet often overlooked.
