The other potential title for this year's ExPurgamento winter exhibition (our eighth!) was Best Laid Plans. Gerald Massey (above) says it better: accident, serendipity, chance, mistake, unforeseen event, delight in the unexpected.

We will be showing work in all media from an international and interdisciplinary crew of artists, in which a chance occurrence became the decisive moment in the creation of an art work, or to put it another way: where the object itself intervened in no uncertain terms in the process of its own creation. You can't control life, it would be unreasonable and, which is a far greater crime, unforgivably dull to presume to control art. We're not entirely in charge, there is comfort in that.
