This year for Super Sonic Festival we created our own little backyard world in which to immerse yourself amongst our wooden whittled curiosities and delights as the strange, heavy aural offerings of the festival tickled your lobes. Thanks to Waste and Zombie for getting involved too. Here's the high brow blurb:" The Outcrowd are a group of like-minded image-makers. There work can be seen as an expression of these artists compulsion to create. Fundamentally, the artists all share an essential motivation to explore the possibilities of enhancing everyday life by making magic from the mundane. There work utilises modest and direct means including works in pencil, paint and ink along with photographic works, which record and celebrate everyday happenstances.
Specifically, what comes to the fore are common concerns and a positive interest with dipping into the past and championing seemingly long-forgotten notions such as thriftiness and a delight in the ordinary everyday detritus of life.
This year their process is applied to exhibiting in sheds, modifying and re-claiming these gentle relics over the duration of the festival. Come join them as they attempt to cheekily subvert the traditional gallery setting."
