Art Surgery
Region: Cornwall | City: St Ives
Based in St Ives, the ongoing aim of Art Surgery is to establish a platform for performance and avant-garde art forms in a region generally associated with a more traditional modernist aesthetic. Intrinsic to this is the development of projects from a theoretical basis with the aim of dissolving the boundaries between theory and practice and opening up an expanded, communicative realm where key concepts such as the ‘real’, ‘poetic’ and ‘site’ can be explored through challenging new work. Art Surgery’s activities include a wide variety of curating, commissioning and project work, using the internet, websites and temporary interventions in commercial and public art spaces, and working with a diverse range of artists including past collaborations with well-established practitioners such as Bobby Baker and Andre Stitt.
