A one-day exhibition on Monday July 9th, 1 – 7pm

In an era of rising youth unemployment and arts funding cuts, the collaborative arts network, CAN, is an incubator for creative enterprises, ideas, events and collaborations.

FACE/BOX explores interactions, consumption and self-image in the digital age, using the box as a format to represent virtual worlds and comment on mediums, using everyday, historical and fictional narratives.

The show’s curator, 19 year old Tottenham based creative, Monique Todd, is motivated to create a legacy for art by transforming spaces. “From alternative worlds to “lonely hearts” ads for obsolete objects replaced by modern technology, FACE/BOX spotlights the little nuances of our pixilated lives whilst offering light-hearted alternatives.” She explains.

Ten of the network’s artists use graffiti, illustration, and graphic art to question their online, everyday selves and the nature of collaboration for the youth of today, in this one-day exhibition on Monday.
