Backdrop

Big. Flexible. A whitewashed cave wall. A museum wall. A thing in the background that is like a wall. Something hung over a wall. A blurred matte painting at the back of a movie set. A piece of fabric from a stage set. Curtains at the back of a stage behind a band. Something to be covered in other artworks. Activated by them.

Panel
Small. Rigid. Seemingly self-contained. But they change depending on what's behind them or near them. Can be moved around easily.
Stage is a multi-artist installation and zine project curated by LLE (Casper White and James Moore).

The artworks all relate to the theme of ‘stage’.

The first installation is at Kingsgate Project Space, Kilburn, London.

The installation consists of two formats of artwork:
1. large backdrops.
2. small works on panels.

Participating artists were invited to produce both backdrops and small works on panels.

The backdrops are hung on the gallery walls and are at least 1 metre in height or width. They are large-scale drawings, paintings, textile and fabric hangings, and pre-existing items such as posters.

The smaller works on wooden panels are hung on-top of the backdrops.

The backdrop pieces are necessarily damaged during the installation, as holes are pierced through them to hang the smaller wooden panels on top. The installation is changed during the exhibition, with works being moved, added and removed.
