These objects may be maquettes, experiments or just oddities that did not happen to fit in with a particular body of work going to an exhibition. They are often highly prized by their makers and valuable examples of their unique creative vision, hence highly collectable. Koukan Gallery - the space for Art in Architecture, has invited a group of artists to dig through their archives to rediscover those special pieces that for some reason got overlooked the first time around. Seasoned practitioners working in Glass, Ceramic and mixed media sculpture have been invited to rediscover works that have a special place in their affections. Reappraised and reworked they will be presented in the delightful space of the Lotus Studio, located between Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage tube stations, London. The show represents an eclectic mix of small-scale artworks, wall mounted, each with its own custom made shelf or support; a hybrid between an R.A Summer Show and Wunderkammer where a profusion of diverse objects vie for the attentions of the viewer. They will be available to view for a limited period to coincide with Collect Art fair at the Saatchi Gallery. From the exquisite to the weird and wonderful, this is a unique opportunity for connoisseurs to view and perhaps to own a unique piece of collectable art. The Lotus Foundation is a non-profit making organization dedicated to the promotion of individual endeavor and the synthesis of art and healing. Recollect is curated by Matthew Durran and Max Jacquard. for further information contact: rie@koukan.co.uk or call 0208447121 or 07939242312
