A Private View shall take place on the 12th Dec 2013.
Contributions will be accepted until the day before the private view.

All contributing artists will be credited and listed on the following websites; www.objectabuse.com and www.spinach.co.uk/artists/

What does Object Abuse look like?
The answer to this question is not so straight forward, but when you put obvious ethical or ecological perspectives to one side, then the possibility for speculation really is limitless.
Who is to say the object in question is passive and not active? What really qualifies as abuse (in this context), is it quantifiable and can we envisage it’s subtler variations? For that matter, what is an object; or rather can we say what isn’t an object…with any real certainty? Isn’t everything an object?
 
Submission details:
We request that artworks be submitted as hard copy, so it needs to be sent through the post to the Spinach space (address below). Submissions can also be handed in.
We will only accept artwork in a 2D format and it should not exceed an A4 scale. Submissions can take the form of an image, drawing text, collage, a proposal, documentation, etc. Please do not send …

Title: Soft Touch (Life jacket & Thread, Height 20x Width 25x Depth 2cm, 2012)
“I emulated the required thickness of leather by wrapping polyurethane foam in the polyester outer, and then following exactly the craft of master whip maker Ron Edwards,  to produce a bullwhip, without the mass required to function.”
Each one of these visual interpretations adds insight and depth to what exactly Object Abuse might look like. This question is by no means obvious when you think about it, who is to say the object in question is passive and not active, where does any variation of abuse originate from? And what is an object, or can we really say with any certainty what is not an object?
OA’s intension is to provide a platform to question the very nature and orientation of objects. The aim is to readdress the unquestioned drives of our collective pursuits, to turn the tables on the object-subject dynamic.

Title: Untitled (Padded chair & fixings, 1.5x1x2m, 2010)

Title: Japanese Temple
Visiting an ancient temple near Tokyo with a Japanese friend (who was proudly reciting the ancient credentials of the several hundred years-old wooden building she was showing us) I noticed a couple of carpenters working on one of the internal supporting posts. They were replacing it with a new piece of seasoned timber. My friend told me this is quite normal, as the temple requires constant maintenance and had for centuries.
I thought how this ‘ancient object’, like our own skin and other cells, was being continually replaced and renewed. Its physical status, existing only in a constant state of replacement and renewal. Its spiritual or intellectual purpose as a ‘place’ however, staying always the same.
On returning to my studio in London, recollections of that incident triggered off a memory of what some might call a more prosaic, but I believe equally philosophical reference to the status of objects: An episode of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ and an exchange that will forever live (at least in my mind) in the tradition of great philosophical ideas, as ‘Trigger’s broom (like ‘Schrödinger’s cat’) ‘
In Sid’s Café, road sweeper Trigger shows Boycie, Del Boy and Rodney a photograph in which a local councillor presents him with a medal for saving the council money.
Trigger: ” . . . I happened to mention to her one day that I’ve had the same broom for twenty years. She was very impressed . . . This old …

‘3rd February’
‘1st May’
 
Lucy’s contribution is from a year-long project – 1 x Polaroid.
In 2008 Polaroid announced that its instant film was to be discontinued. On January 1st 2009, I decided to take a single Polaroid for the next 365 days. My aim was simple: to make an image every day, to improvise and respond to a particular moment, without planning ahead. This rule was sometimes broken. Either if I was somewhere particularly eventful (resulting in more than one image), or if I ran out of film / couldn’t find a way to respond to the day, (resulting in no image). These days are represented by a blank Polaroid.
The two images selected for OA come from East London and Chicago respectively. I’m often drawn to abandoned, yet arranged objects, similarly objects which are adapted in order to deliver a message, (and sometimes, perhaps, a message more ambiguous than intended!).

_________________
The work ‘Magnetite Effect’ presents a small fragment from a meteorite which collided with Earth around 40,000-years-ago in the Canyon Diablo crater, Arizona. Placed directly above the meteorite on top of the perspex case is a compass.  The compass needle has a magnet on it which is attracted to the North Pole of the Earth, but because some meteorites are magnetic, when placed in proximity of a compass, the needle will spin towards the meteorite.
 
Magnetite is a highly magnetic mineral, crystals of which are found in the brains of bees, fish, birds and bats helping them navigate by sensing the Earth’s magnetic field, much like a compass.  Strangely, a tiny shiny crystal of magnetite is also found in humans in the ethmoid bone between the eyes, just behind the nose.
 
The work ‘S3’ presents three blue painted square canvases of equal dimensions, upon which rests a piece of yellow neon sulphur crystal. Sulphur is often referred to in the Bible as ‘brimstone’ as in “fire and brimstone”, and is used in gunpowder.  When burned, Sulphur releases a blue flame and melts to a blood-red liquid. The S3- molecule derived from a sulphur radical gives the …

Each one of these visual interpretations adds insight and depth to what exactly Object Abuse might look like. This question is by no means obvious when you think about it, who is to say the object in question is passive and not active, where does any variation of abuse originate from? And what is an object, or can we really say with any certainty what is not an object?
OA’s intension is to provide a platform to question the very nature and orientation of objects. The aim is to readdress the unquestioned drives of our collective pursuits, to turn the tables on the object-subject dynamic.
If you would like to offer us a visual interpretation, please go the our Contact page and let us know.
OA began as a symposium, now it is housed as a website and next it will become a network, with events; presentations and exhibitions.
