No’flk Up Sticks presents the work of ten recent Fine Art graduates from Norwich School of Art & Design. This exhibition has been born out of group dialogue between the artists spurred by their mutual desire to show together in another city. Although the diverse works including installation, film, painting and photography may result from different practices they render inevitable collective sensibilities and awareness of the contemporary world that they occupy, as artists and social/ political beings. And, although not staged out of an aesthetic or theoretical inquiry, the works engage some interesting relations. Formal processes sit alongside contemporary praxis and new media, each disclosing some sort of commentary be that the demonstration of visual phenomena discovered in the formal process of making or the informal ‘reveal’ of human nature found in cultural or sociological encounters.
