Exhibition of the Show


The jar art project allowed for a twofold exhibition of our work. The first was a guerrilla-type exhibition where we took our jars to the streets and set up for the public to come and engage in our show. We began our morning by setting up in Trafalgar Square but the security guards asked us to step up out of the square so we repositioned our exhibition of jars at the base of the National Gallery in London. We stood here for about 30 minutes and engaged in positive dialog with people passing by.


The next phase allowed for a formal exhibition of the work by a recognized institution. Images of our project were taken to the Institute of Contemporary Arts a week ago and a proposal was made asking for permission to install ourselves in their space. They agreed, so after our set up at the steps of the National Gallery, we were allowed inside the Institute of Contemporary Arts where we installed our show before the doors opened and took photographs to document the exhibition.
