KrimsKrams curated by Sam Venables and Richard Proffitt of the Liverpool based artist-led gallery The Royal Standard, who have recently a./o exhibited at No Soul For Sale at Tate Modern and Global Studio at the Bluecoat gallery.
Acquiring, animal hoarding and abandoned assortments. Boot sales, clumps, crews and combos. The Collyer brothers, Department 56 and electronic eyes. Fan clubs, garages and heaps of stuff. Hamstern, house clearances and impulse buys. Jackpots and junk. Kleptomania, limited editions, medleys and metal detecting. New & sealed. Obsolete, orders, Plyushkin and pilferage. Quantity & quality, received files and sit ins. Stashes, snuff a luff, souvenirs and treasure troves. Thrift stores, unused, variety and wiring. X marks the spot, yard sales and zaborskis.
A half-eaten chippy dinner and dog-earred scraps of church pews or the golden arches of a fast food sign abandoned at the side of the road. Krimskrams features artists for whom the habitual nature of scavenging and chancing upon objects influences the work that they make.

That Place Beneath the Apple Tree is (Still) Reserved for You and Me.
To attempt to write about the undocumentable event of performance is to invoke the rules of the written document and thereby alter the event itself. Just as quantum physics discovered that macro-instruments cannot measure microscopic particles without transforming those particles, so too must performance critics realise that the labour to write about performance (and thus to “preserve” it) is also a labour that fundamentally alters the event.
