Überspaß

Platform One Gallery is delighted to welcome its new artists in residence, 'inter-Scandinavian' group Überspaß (Thais Espersen, Anders Nielsen, Jakob Ingemansson, Philip Elwall, Sune Rieper and Magnus Ohren.)

This week Überspaß will be running a series of workshops at the gallery, exploring Yves Klein's '(CM)YKB 98,84,0,0' shade of blue. The group will test Klein's Pantone-esque thesis with a series of architectural interventions, responding to the gallery and surrounding train station and suburban context. Material evidence from the week will be exhibited on 29 August.

I'm particularly optimistic about the coming week as it is the first time our cosy 12m² gallery has hosted six resident artists at one time. Thais Espersen of CRAB Studio, Clerkenwell, coaxed the pan-European group over to south London and, in my opinion, must be congratulated for his work.

The project offers an excellent opportunity for visitors to experience an alternative reading of the gallery and its environs. Equally inspirational copies of Jakob Ingemansson Stad magazine (issue #3), featuring poems and essays on Belgrade, Serbia, will be available.

I look forward to seeing you on Sunday 29 August. Please bring friends and any ideas you have for future shows, we are always delighted to meet new artists and curators.

Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of summer!
