Originally a highlight of the 2014 Folkestone Fringe, Sex Shop is swapping the salty sea air for the thrills and spills of London’s East End, when it takes up residence in Transition Gallery at the end of February.

The curators invited artists and designers, but also practitioners from other disciplines – to create a prototype version of their own sex or fetish object. The responses they received span a wide range of different media: from 3D maquettes, to 2D visualizations, to audio-visual pieces, and reference a cornucopia of sexual practices, fetishes and merchandise. They are by turns personal, playful, provocative and usable.

All the pieces on display in Sex Shop will be for sale and the exhibition will coincide with a special sex themed edition of Garageland magazine.

Sex Shop has been conceived and curated by Sarah Gillham, Darren Narin and Jack Stokoe.

Exhibiting artists:
Liane Lang / Tessa Farmer / Keith Farquhar / Tom Gallant / Blue Curry / Alli Sharma / Jon Fawcett / Cathy Lomax / Tom Walker / Francis Richardson / Debbie Lawson / Catherine Morland / Benjamin Orlow / Sarah Gillham / Mindy Lee / Corinna Spencer / Mimei Thompson / Clare Mitten / Paul Hazelton / Jess Eaton / Freddie Robins / Robert Carey-Williams / Jorge de la Garza

Cartwright Hall Art Gallery is pleased to exhibit items on loan from the Crafts Council collection including Freddie Robins’s, Hand of Good, Hand of God.

As one of the leading contemporary British Craft collections in the UK, the Crafts Council collection is now the UK’s foremost collection of contemporary craft, embracing all disciplines and featuring the most important makers of the last 40 years. Beginning in the Cellar Gallery, view objects from the Crafts Council Collection that spiral around the building, interlaced with fine art and international craft from Bradford’s own collections.

Who are the current contemporary makers in the UK and internationally? This exhibition explores materials, designs and technologies present in contemporary craft. With a strong history of wool, Bradford is the perfect place to investigate how the process of ‘knit’ has developed and inspired. From the science to the skill, through to the pure design eyes of our contemporary makers, come and see and experience craft – you will be very inspired!
