Curated by Peter Lamb and Joby Williamson
All nine artists, most of whom were in the post art-school couple of years, experimented with a lo-fi aesthetic in which materials were pared down, playful elements foregrounded and incongruous juxtapositions encouraged.
A limited edition boxed set of IRREGULAR WASPS prints has been produced especially for the show. Each of the nine artists has made an individual work for the edition.
