20 ARTISTS, 20 BOXES,

20 SHOP WINDOWS

Andrew Smith@a very private view
Andrew Smith's piece was withdrawn from the first shop that it was displayed in by the owner as she found it offensive. On the Saturday of the PV there was thus nothing to see in the window. Andrew organised a very private view to a select audience around the boot of his car in Budgen's car park.
Andrew displayed the various parts of the offending piece of work which is based on medieval religious imagery.
The feet of Christ ascending to heaven is drawn from the rood screen of Lodden church.
A number of people in the town put us in touch with another shop owner and on Tuesday we placed the piece on display in a new window. Unfortunately on Saturday we were obliged to remove the piece following threats and silent phone calls to the shop owner.
