The BUILDHOLLYWOOD family of JACK, JACK ARTS and DIABOLICAL have announced their collaboration with The White Pube, for the latest instalment of Your Space Or Mine, which gives artists and creatives a platform on the street.
The collaborative project will feature posters and billboards to address some of the systemic injustices and inequalities within the art world.
The overly stale, pale, and male state of the art industry is what drove Gabrielle and Zarina to found The White Pube in 2015. An anti- elitist, anti-white-washing, anti-patriarchy online art magazine that takes it’s name ironically from The White Cube.
It was founded on and exists to explore the gap between art, the market, institutions and people, with the aim of breaking it all down to come out with something more meaningful to a wider network of people who visit their website.
More recently they have broadened their scope to cover video game review, food writing and the hosting of community focused podcasts.
The Your Space Or Mine collaboration will see The White Pube present their ‘ideas for a new art world’ comprising of six direct and ambitious suggestions as to how things might be improved for the many and not just the few. The collaboration will run over three months, with the artwork changing every two weeks.
Gabrielle and Zarina currently reside in London and Liverpool respectively – as such The White Pube’s mini-manifesto for a fairer art world and a more just society will be displayed on posters and billboards in both cities.
The interventions will feature black text on a series of bold colour backgrounds to confront passers-by with plain speaking ideas such as ‘Universal Basic Income and affordable housing so that everyone, including artists, can make a living’ and ‘Curators should ask the public to see what they think galleries and museums should be used for’ and ‘dear museums, give back all stolen objects’.
