2012

Call and Response, The Broadcaster, The Postmethodist, Reading Room & Chapel, Wellingore, Lincolnshire, UK.

A number of artists were invited to make small announcement cards for either a 'call' or a 'response' for display in the Broadcaster exhibition cabinets, Wellingore, Lincolnshire.

Taking as its cue the spontaneity of ‘lost cat’ and ‘found cat’ notices appearing in the same newsagent window often referring to the same cat. The project seeks to exemplify the circularity of exchanges in the everyday. As both the Call and Response are created in isolation this creates an element of chance imbuing the project with the potential for a call, created by one artist, to unwittingly match a response from another or vice versa. Thinking beyond the context of the newsagent window artist were ask to create a call in which the subject matter and form for either the call or response was totally at their discretion. The only proviso being that it must fit on the plain side of a blank postcard.

Andrew Pepper produced "Found - Small Hole, Lost drawing" incorporating a laser cut 'drawn' hole' on/in watercolour paper.
