Niagara Falls Projects (NFP) comes to Galley DODO for the last in a series of exhibitions which invites artists, who established temporary gallery spaces in the past, to curate a show. James William Murray and Martin Seeds co-founded NFP in 2017, holding ten exhibitions in a refurbished garage, before finally closing in 2020 with an off-site exhibition at Brighton CCA’s project space, Dorset Place.
Before its refurbishment to a flexible gallery and studio space, the semi-derelict garage had a roof in such a poor state of repair that rainwater would stream through the holes. “When you walked inside, you expected it to stop raining…and it didn’t!” Hence the name Niagara Falls.
Grids Grids Grids Grids Grids Grids Grids Grids, the form that keeps on giving to artists throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. Grids to be looked at, grids to be looked through, grids that are warped, layered, stretched, stitched, woven, folded, sculptured, and anthropomorphised. This current exhibition by Niagara Falls Projects returns to the grid form, offering a variety of approaches to expand it further than solely ‘an emblem of modernist ambitions’.
