SHOW OFFS is the annual group exhibition which showcases 21 of M16βs studio artists' broad range of practice including printmaking, painting, sculpture, silversmithing and drawing. These works aim to give the viewer an understanding of the broad range of contemporary arts practice and are indicative of what artists are currently grappling with in their studios. Artists had the option to show up to three works to share insight of how their ideas and work develop over time or explore a theme or current issue.
SHOW OFFS plays on the idea that to boastfully display oneβs abilities or to flaunt your skills or knowledge is somehow bad, however traditionally artists work alone and we rarely witness their labour. Art is an outcome of process and a visual language where we are able to voice, communicate and share authentic ideasβ¦ In this exhibition we are celebrating the broad range of art mediums and processes that contemporary artists use to engage us and allow us pause to think.
