The News @ Two Queens
Sat, 12 May 2012
I popped in to see the latest exhibition at Two Queens in Leicester today. The show is based on their recent live online event 'The News'.
When you arrive you are greeted by a large pink 'shamanic' figure. I saw this being made when I tuned in to the live broadcast and he looks even more impressive in the flesh/plaster. There are then assorted props and detritus (or rather 'archival materials') from the event, plus video and projections.
Make of it what you will. I rather enjoyed it. I particularly like the fact that emerging local artists have taken the initiative to create a space like this. 'The News' is on for a week. Go to the 2queens.com for more information and directions. Here are some pictures from the show.
