Social Scaffolding is open until 6th May, 11-4 Thursday-Saturday at Create@#8 on Town Street Shepton Mallet
Social Scaffolding launched at Shepton Mallet last week with over 250 visitors in the first two days. We were a little overwhelmed but excited to welcome so many people into the space to engage with our artworks.
The surface of the new pods looked so blank before people sat together to stitch into them cocreating the work itself. I’ve embraced the cables organically becoming part of the work so the pods look like they are on life support systems, somewhat reminiscent of the Matrix but less sinester.
Thanks to RedGreenGoProductions I have a fantastic new CCTV system recording in timelapse both inside the pods and mapping the visitors engaging with the work like insects swarming around a hive.
And so many new marks have been stitched into the surface of the pods, such variety slowly filling the gaps but plenty more space if you want to come and make your own mark!
