Standpoint is pleased to present Spillâge, a group exhibition curated by HAZE.

​

Spillâge has been created as a sniglet - a word made up to describe something for which no dictionary word exists. Bringing together eleven artists, this exhibition looks at the fluidity of language and interruptions from the familiar. It fills in the gaps for alternative expression, embracing the spontaneous and unknown.

​

The exhibition embodies the notions surrounding happy accidents and freedom of play, the loss of control and unconscious reactions. Within the exhibition, artists are encouraged to explore playful elements of their practice and step back from the preciousness of expectation. The place becomes a playground for experimentation. This show celebrates the artists’ ability to harvest their boiling over of intuitive reactions, exaggerating and pushing their mistakes and unconscious decisions into their own language, creating works which radiate other-worldliness.

​

Using the accent hat brings together a duality of languages in a subtle jovial form, the word Spillâge bridges together different territories and celebrates combined communication through different worlds in a fluid way.
