The chair as an essential component of every day life. Not only as a physical object that provides comfort but also as a device that the individual can use to facilitate engagement with others. 

Wee presents a series of public artworks conceived and delivered by Nicola Atkinson [NADFLY], Stevie Jackson [Belle & Sebastian] and Lee Ivett [Baxendale] In this instance all ideas of functionality are removed through the introduction of scale and material that would not usually be associated with the object. 

variety of media created, found, borrowed and purchased within the context of Los Angeles. The word ‘Wee’ is our starting point to explore what it means to work in a small way and what it means to work as part of a collective; as ‘we’.

Of particular importance is the idea of the ‘given’ and the ‘extra’ –at what point does ‘given’ become ‘extra’. Objects and ideas can all exist at a basic level that ensure sustenance, but at what point does the possibility arise to go beyond that which is a given and create something that will be desired by, have meaning and have a value relevant to a wider audience.

All the pieces within this exhibition communicate the possibility of the extra through the manipulation of an object that is considered by
the artists to be a given. Within this perceived impossibility there is a relationship of scale with a longing of past  fundational use.
