Grow Wild

Non-profit art space Utopian Slumps is pleased to announce the opening of GROW WILD curated by Sleep Club (Dell Stewart and Adam Cruickshank) from 6 – 9pm on Friday 5 December 2008.

It’s easy to forget the pleasure of the wild and the primal, especially given the place in the distant future we sometimes seem to have arrived at. The truly metamorphosing moments in life where we’re confronted with wonder and sadness and need and desire are the times when the wild reappears in all its elemental glory. In GROW WILD , Sleep Club will celebrate this transformative wildness, this irrepressible tenaciousness of growth, the insistence of life and all its apparently unstoppable self-replicating systems.

GROW WILD is an exhibition that revels in the growing and the grown, an enveloping and welcoming space, a campsite in a gallery in the middle of a city, a mushrooming of the outside, inside.
