Filed under: About VERSUS
For four weeks, two teams of artists will be resident in the two adjoining spaces of the Market Gallery. The two groups will work in the space with and against each other, collaboratively or independently to produce work around the project’s theme. The Project will be called VERSUS and the residency will run from 2nd-26th June to be followed by an exhibition. The group the Market have paired IRONBBRATZ with for this competitive residency are The Mutual.
For the theme, in the spirit of the project’s blanket title VERSUS, we will investigate the nature of identity within teams in competition, focusing in particular on the unique relationship between The Mutual and IRONBBRATZ. As two artist led groups based in Glasgow we share many commonalities, including exhibited artists and members.
We have elected to call this project Us VERSUS Them, tapping into the logistical issues surrounding divided allegiances. Neither IRONBBRATZ nor The Mutual will officially be labeled ‘Us’ or ‘Them’. To the opposing team we are always them when we consider ourselves us, and vice-versa.
