Mercury is spinning forward

Two Columns is pleased to present Mercury is spinning forward. The installation is the outcome of 14 continuous hours of vigorous multi-disciplinary collaboration of diverse students from the community.
Please come to the reception on Friday October 10th. The exhibition will be open to the public  
October 8th - October 17th, 2014.

The idea of this exhibition came from two distinct needs in the community. First, was the need to explore the possibilities of the gallery space as a location for creation. The roll of the gallery as a 'white cube' is changing rapidly in the contemporary art world, and with access to the Two Columns gallery space, we felt compelled to explore its capacities. The second came from the need to involve students from all disciplines with the Fine Arts gallery, making the space more available and familiar to them.
As a student run space, the more students participate, the more they will want to partake in exhibitions, and hopefully enlivening both the gallery and culture.
Collaboration is complicated, and throughout the installation diverse and challenging ideas and situations arose, but this only exercised our limitations as artists and put the individual in perspective.

We hope this exhibition mirrors how the explosion of our creativity coalesced into a nebula of ingenuity.
