‘Out Of The Box’ – From Cabinets Of Curiosities To Peephole Dioramas – Opening at no format Fri 3rd Aug.
– From Cabinets Of Curiosities To Peephole Dioramas –
Out of the Box is an exhibition that promises a “mind jiggling” experience. It is a visual feast of all things box art – literally & conceptually – An eclectic melange of many artists work, curated by Tom Buchanan and Amy Douglas.
This show of artworks have either been assembled or disciplined within in a box, experimenting with dimension and composition, found objects, printed matter, photographs and an array of surprises. Proving an infinite playpen for experimentation & illusion
Box Art has a yearning back to authenticity & the lost art of collecting. The tactile thrill of miscellaneous things & unexpected objects, given new life & expression. This collective is a celebration of new & classic works, from the raw to the refined & the downright bizarre to beautiful.
This highlight from The Brighton Fringe Festival comes to London in partnership with the No Format Gallery. The featured artists range from professional backgrounds to outsider lives, some of those are >

Tania López-Winkler – HILANDA – Opens at no format tonight (Thursday 19th July)
Tania López-Winkler
HILANDA C:/YoPhoiniX/to_be_expired/Personal_Geographies/Hilanda.exe
Artist YoPhoiniX (aka Tania López-Winkler) Curated by Elena Aparicio Mainar Opening – Thursday 19th July (5pm – 9pm) – Until Sun 29th July
Hilanda is a Spatial Private Detective. She looks for clues embedded in the fleeting aesthetic experiences of city life. Hilanda’s work involves strolling about and getting lost in the city’s maze. If she was in Paris she would be a flaneuse, but since she operates in London she is a detective. When in rapture and delirium instead of playing the violin she spins filaments and threads.
At night, Hilanda spins the city’s fabric along with dreams into clues. These clues often unravel, detect or trace back the outlines of personal stories and culprits.

From a small group of independent strangers in a strange land bearing the common denominators of dancing, creating and co-existing, The Foreigners’ Collective was born. In addition to their art, this international group realized a deep notion of fraternity from their shared investigation and experience of what it means to be a ‘foreigner’ and has strengthened their bond and confirmed their desire to reconvene in order to create.
Resting on the surface is the actuality of being an alien; an outsider in a country, culture, or society that you do not identify with. Yet no less can one be a foreigner not geographically, but philosophically when deviating from the norms of which one is expected to abide by. Foreigners may wander physically or emotionally; sometimes aimlessly, yet other times seeking to join or form an alliance. The Foreigners’ Collective is an alliance; a dynamic amalgam seeking to collaborate with foreigners and encourage diverse cultural exchange.
