Restriction Exhibition

  • Deborah Parkes

‘Restriction’ is an exhibition of miniature pieces of art work inspired by restrictions of the pandemic. Hosted by Clayhill Arts, this exhibition by the newly formed artist network The Correspondence Collective, is displayed in a set of old printer’s letterpress drawers, with the drawers’ tiny compartments providing a stimulus for the exhibiting artists. Inspired by the restrictions many of us have experienced due to Covid-19, more than 200 artists, from across the world, have produced work for the show, resulting in over 1000 pieces of miniature artworks. The exhibition was launched online by Clayhill Arts on Tuesday 23 March, a year on from the start of the first UK lockdown. You can view a recording of the launch event below, where we were in conversation with the exhibition’s curator, Amanda Lynch who we have been communicating with via Zoom since the exhibition conception in July 2020.
