"ubiquity..."

It's a cardboard envelope life story.
As an envelope, it served to transport some content, we don't know from where and neither the destination where it was going...
The content this envelope transported in the past was so special to the person who received it, that became a very important object.
The object acquired a special meaning. The strong ties between person and object took to a constant presence in his life.
Objects can be impregnated with presence. Metonymic object is a presence or an absence. Every object touched by the loved being's body, touched by the person whom we are mourning, transform itself, becomes part of that body, the subject attaches himself to it. Gestures of fetishism. It will impregnate everything it comes in contact with. Memories. Sentimentality.

Later, when its function was finished, its life as container no longer existed, was prepared to keep functioning in some way...

A new life begun. Living in a rural environment, it was transformed as basis on top of a stone, to serve as a seat, where is owner would rest in the end of a hard work day.

Envelopes >>> evocative objects >>> containers ,messengers, witnesses >>> they hide and disclose >>> hint at communication >>> secret networks and allusions >>> postal system >>> icons on mobile phones >>> their content invisible >>> symbol for the pre internet era. This is a group show presenting an installation housed in a gallery space. The gallery has been remodeled into domestic setting which acts as a container for envelopes and their insides. The artists selected for this show examine the formal aspect and the conceptual possibilities of the medium. The multiplicity of directions explored by individual artists reflects their practices and creates a whole which is complex, textured and fun.

Francisca Aninat, Oliver Bragg, All Brain and Ana Efe, Matt Blackler, Marco Cali , Ambra Caminito, Dawn Carey Jones, Barbara Crawford, Anka Dabrowska, Sara Dell Onze, Claire Dorsett, Gin Dunscombe, Gemma Cumming, Margaret Fletcher, Cat Forward, Mark Gallay, Nat Gillespie, Judy Goldhill, Jane Grisewood, Hammer A Nail, Lucy Harvey, Barry Hobson, Holestar, Noe Kidder, Kasia Kwiatkowska, Philip Lee, Heidi Locher, Veronica Perez Karleson, Jane Lim, Sophie Loss, Kate Lynch, Sarah Males, Rachel Marsden, Paul Matosic, Rachel Overfield, Steve Perfect, Waldemar Pranckiewicz, Kate Russo, Lorna Robertson, Jodie Sadler, Hana Sakuma, Aine Scannell, seekers of lice, Veronika Spierenburg, Abigail Thomas, Rachel Travis, Cally Trench, Matthew Verdon, Matthew Wells, Kay Williamson, Mary Yacoob, Charlotte Young
