The viewers are invit ed to participate in a series of classic fair games for the chance to win hand-crafted prizes made by the artists with the intention of exploring ho w exhibitions can be more accessible and how  the audience can obtain art work through play.\n\nFrom tufted teddy bears to felt cigarettes\, a homag e to Hull Fair\, ‘On The Waltzers’  implores the viewer to not only e ngage with the installation but to become a part of the work itself.\n\nTh is is ELLSQUARED’s first exhibition of 2024 and will once again subvert the white cube gallery experience and how a sense of levity and tongue-in- cheek approach to their respective practices elevate not only the craft an d ‘everyday’ dialogue they hold dearly\, but also what is considered h igh and low art and how they play with the viewer within their work.”\n\ nAttend the launch night by securing a ticket here: https://skiddle.com/e /37271820\n\nELLSQUARED (Elisa Sallis and Ella Matthews)\n\nThey are a v isual artist and curatorial duo  who combine two minds to create kitsch a nd gaudy art that breaches white cube assumptions of how art should be per ceived. They accomplish this by transforming the gallery experience into a public-engaged\, inclusive\, and levity-filled experience using craft and textile methods of creation.  Working together for over 4 years\, they h ave completed a number residencies\, the most recent at The Bridewell Stud ios and Gallery. Ell-squared has partnered on 10 exhibitions in total to c reate shows that are publicly engaging and challenge the gallery experienc e. Their exhibition portfolio ranges from self-initiated shows to large-sc ale open calls involving national and international artists. They provide a level of care to all parties involved while also bringing a fresh viewpo int to what they develop next.
