Repetition sets up expectations and baffles them at both regular and irregular intervals. It draws attention, not to the object (word, image or sound), but to what lies between them.

Black Church Print Studio presents Repetition, an exhibition that brings together the diverse practices of seventeen contemporary artists, working across a range of media, including video, installation, performance, drawing, print and sculpture. Deployed as a motif, a theme, a technique, a mechanism or a function of communication, aspects of repetition establish each of the artworks in this exhibition, offering a momentary instance of connection within a diversity of artforms.
Repetition will be accompanied by A&E, a discursive event free and open to the public, on Monday 21st January 2013 at 7pm, Monster Truck Gallery. The event and exhibition are both initiatives of the Black Church Print Studio off-site programme 2013.
