The current show 'Says the junk in the yard' at Flowers East gallery on Kingsland road is definately my pick of the month.
The artists in exhibiting in the show which include the likes of Stephen Gill, Neil Gall, Jason Oddy and Edward Burtynsky to name only a few bases its pieces around the various ideas of junk and what it means to us and others.
There are mixed media pieces from Gavin Turks sleeping bag with the illusion of man inside to Photographs depicting houses of the recently deceased by Jason Oddy.
Cornelia parker's exhaled cocaine which came from customs to the collection of odd bits which come in sevens by Peter Blake.
It is a selection of sculptures, photographs, structures, instalations and video depicting the various forms of garbage, trash, junk and collecting of bric a brac.
Some ideas press on the global issues faced with sending our plastics and disposables to china and indie and other issues show up in the form of using 'junk' (as a drug) and collecting junk as a hobby.
Each piece in the exhibiton holds something quite unique to it with each artists expression of the term 'junk' being very different.
The catalogue is only £8 and the show is on till September so it is highly recommended that when you stop by jaguar shows for a quiet beer next time pop down the block and catch this show!
