Cambridge
I went to Small-Scale-Survival in Aid and Abet, an art space close to Cambridge Station. It is housed in an old warehouse, and there is a three year lease, which gives the place some stability. Their show, now sadly closed, was Small Scale Survival, where artists produced without the grand trappings that are available in larger studios. Some of what they had there was very good fun: I had never jumped through a hoop made of chairs fastened together, and now I have. It was a construction like a matchstick bridge, without glue or fastenings other than wood, and it was fantastic to look at. I held back from taking many photographs inside, as it was someone else’s artwork, but on the way back I took over a dozen quick snaps of a road on my route… … So that was my afternoon. |
