The Thousands

Purists beware, you’re probably not going to like this. Collaboration is a sticky business, but when it comes to like-minded folk, (or even better – non-like-minded folk) the interesting ideas starts flowing. Seven With Another are hosting the fourth incarnation of such collaborations, with a swag of film makers, costume designers, typographers, photographers, choreographers and, hell, even traditional artists who work in the medium of painting.

Ryan Renshaw (who is not only a gallerist, but film maker) and photographer Martin Smith have been paired together, allegedly re-mixing a late 90′s video of Holly Valance swimming in the Neighbours pool. Painter Benjamin Reeve and physical computerist Philip Unwin have made some sort of crazy visual interface. Michael Candy (kineticist) and Jason Grant (graphic designer) have collaborated on a park bench in a brash act of urban intervention. Other artists include Dominique Falla (typographer) and Ryan Walsh (composer), motion designer Timothy Lovett and choreographer Clare Dyson. This isn’t art school where every artist thinks their medium is superior, but a good chance for creatives to see what they can do when they put their minds together.
