“OVADA open”, an exhibition which was curated from open submission by Tom Freshwater – Contemporary Arts Programme Manager of The National Trust, Emily Korchmaros – Curator, Modern Art Oxford and Dr Tracey Warr – Curator and Writer

These precariously balanced, collapsible constructions have the potential to change each time the work is installed and the flexibility of the structure allows playful responses to the gallery space. The work carries a sense of the impermanence of urban environments and the changing nature of the spaces we inhabit. It reflects the continual shifts in cities through subtle modifications – new signage, fresh paintwork – and the more dramatic interventions of construction and demolition.
