The artists featured in Pothole have assumed a 21st century virtual form, crossing cities and borders. While many are friends and former classmates, others share an artistic dialogue through viewing one another’s work in exhibitions or following their moves online. Although their practices are diverse, they live in different cities and are not regularly in exhibitions together, their work nonetheless has certain commonalities including a strong emotive or expressionist sensibility as well as an attraction to untraditional, handmade and often “low” materials. Pothole celebrates these ten artists as colleagues and friends. - July 6
