Summerize

Curated by Hales Gallery

Workplace Gallery are pleased to announce Summerize, curated by Hales Gallery, London, which runs concurrently through August with Formal Dining, curated by Workplace at Hales Gallery. Summerize, comprises of a selection of works by artists that have been shown at Hales Gallery recently added to several more who’s work we like and plan to show in the near future. This summer show gallery swap was prompted by a mutual respect and interest in each gallery’s show programme, founding principles, cultural aims, and general air of enthusiasm.

Bob and Roberta Smith live and work in London. They have recently shown their large installation ‘Help build the ruins of democracy’ at Baltic (Dec–Jan 2005) and their book ‘Make your own damn art’, was published in 2005. Following on from their successful show ‘The Beautiful Poetry of Bob and Roberta Smith’ at Hales gallery (Jan 2006), they continue their anarchic ranting with a little more pathos in the two new pieces included in Summerize. Bob and Roberta are involved in shows at MIMA, Middlesbrough, The Serpentine Gallery London and Peer Gallery in Shoreditch London this autumn.
