Exhibition
Enclosure: Vessels
This exhibition has a theme of Vessels. 33 artists have been selected from a large number of entries for this show. The vessel is functional and enveloping, it embodies the preservation of materials, the containment of things precious to us, it symbolises fragments of history, reflects the every day, and conversely the revered. A vessel tells a story, from where it came, and its reason for being.These 33 artists reveal their own story and their relationship with what a vessel means to them. This was a selected exhibition and launched on the 12th of December 2011.

Lauren Sharon were commissioned to create the Summer House for the St. Mary's Hospital courtyard in 2009. It has since become home to exhibitions itself; being an enclosed, clear space - a vessel - it transforms each time a new pop up exhibition is installed. This captures the imagination of staff and patients as they witness the artists creating installing the work itself. This installation used 3 foot delicate spherical balloons to fill the space. At the end of the exhibition, as they escaped they started to pop.
