Overview

For the latest exhibition at No Vacancy, 14 artists have been asked to create a print inspired by the famous quote by Bertholdt Auerbach: "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”. The resulting artworks will display the diverse interpretations of the phrase, where some artists focus on the words and the questions it raises, and others create their work intuitively.

To learn more about each individual artists creative method, Ingrid Wilson has made a short film about the process of this collaborative project to accompany the series of prints, giving viewers a chance to look in on a typically private practice. The exhibition offers a fascinating insight into the many different creative interpretations that can be derived from one original thought.

Artists featured include Alexis Beckett, Steph Bolt, Louise Donovan, Kate Gorringe-Smith, Deanna Hitti, Hilary Jackman, Mon Keel, Andrej Kocis, Helen Kocis Edwards, Roz Rogers, Andrew Sinclair, Anna Topalidou, Ingrid Wilson and Jess Wong.
