On Thursday evening I went to the launch of the Line Steppers exhibition from Jibbering Art, who put so much hard work into it they ended up producing not one but two films of the process.
Again, Jibbering used the space brilliantly. You can visit just to admire the great array of art on display, which ranges from the sweet to the scary.
Or you can pick up some pieces to jazz up your home. There’s a sale room of work under £75 for those of you on a budget. As with the Mayday Art Crawl, we had the phenonemmon of the invading bikes riden by incomers to Digbeth.
This is Jibbering’s third art exhibition at the Wild Building on Floodgate Street. As with previous exhibitions the art has escaped the venue and spilled out onto the street.
Line Steppers, following on from Gallery 37 and 7 Inch Cinema’s residencies here, is helping to establish the Wild Building as a versatile local arts venue. So it’s such a pity that landlords The Custard Factory find themselves unable to support it, and build upon their invaluable contribution to Digbeth as a cultural quarter, by letting one of the many interested creative parties take over the lease. Rumour has it they have instead opted to rent it to a car valeting company. This interesting space will be a sad loss to the local creative community.
Line Steppers is on display until 31st May.
