This was the second exhibition by the 'Fresh Meat Collective'; a group set up by myself and fellow Loughborough University fine art graduates. This show was curated by 'Fresh Meat' member Andrew Allen, who conceived of the idea to stage an exhibition at The Byron; a disused, 1930's Art Deco cinema in Hucknall, Nottingham.
Alongside the collective members, artists chosen from a process of open submissions were also invited to exhibit. The intention was to include a variety of artists from diverse backgrounds at different points in their careers, with work including painting, installation, sculpture and film. The exhibition intentionally interacted with the unusual interior of the cinema, breaking away from a traditional gallery setting and allowing the artists to engage with the unconventional space.
Within the exhibition there was also a programme of artists' talks, live music, and a selection of films displayed on the cinema screen.
