Not Minimalism

This isn't minimalism, nor is it conceptualism.

And it isn't Simon Pope's empty gallery where you have to do all the work yourself by remembering what you may have seen in other galleries. Here's the opening night.

Indeed why bother going to Mr Popes "exhibition" at all? Better to remember other exhibitions in the comfort of your own home, in an arm chair with a cup of tea and a sweet biscuit perhaps, and forget Simon Pope.



Large amounts of money have changed hands for this event, quoting from the Chapter Arts Centre website: "this exhibition has received generous financial support from the arts council of Wales". Large amounts of money for doing nothing else but thinking. [And while we"re on the subject what an awful photograph and appalling type.]

Maximalism has not received any money from the Arts Council, England.
Maximalism will have a lot of things to look at and some things to remember we hope.
