The colour of there seen from here, the colour of where you are not” – Rebecca Solnit.
A group exhibition of work by 8 contemporary artists explored through their use of the colour blue. These artists have had tremendous success in their careers to date; exhibiting across the world at prestigious events such as Frieze & Unseen, and feature in many international collections.
Due to Copeland Gallery’s generous sponsorship, this exhibition has been organised by Maddie Rose Hills without artist fees or commission in a genuine attempt to champion the work without financial motive. There are artworks and tickets to events for sale on Kickstarter to fund production costs: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1433488561/where-you-are-not
