Assembly Line and Union Gallery are happy to present ‘Multiple Universe’ an exhibition of bespoke art multiples alongside unique works by artists responding to the Assembly Line brief. Asking ‘why make more than one?’ the exhibition examines how the art world interacts with retail and how artists can survive within this market. It’s an art exhibition. It’s a shop. What’s the difference?
In Multiple Universe artists respond to the question of multiplicity in art-making, aiming to re-evaluate the notion of the art multiple and the edition in relation to the proliferation of screen-based media, Web3, and the NFT. The exhibition questions the future of physical art made to be seen, touched, and used in the world when surrounded by ever-expanding digital spaces. By showing the works in their original groupings, the exhibition emphasises their plurality whilst purposefully raising awareness of the exhibition as a commercial space, taking a fresh look at arts relationship with commerce. ‘Multiple Universe’ features work from established artists, Ben Cain, Benedikt Hipp, Rose Eken, Kate Street, Shane Bradford, and Amba Sayal-Bennett.
