Making It

Making It

The Box’s first-ever contemporary art exhibition was staged from September 2020 until September 2021 across multiple spaces at The Box. It featured the work of five international artists: Leonor Antunes (Portugal), Christopher Baker (USA), Alexandre da Cunha (Brazil), Eva Grubinger (Austria) and Camille Walala (France/UK).

'Making It' referenced Plymouth’s history as a city of makers and crafts people and explored the labour intensive and wrought nature of manufacturing and fabricating works of art. It also included 'readymades', where artists re-appropriate existing objects to reveal overlooked form, beauty and mystery, inviting audiences to see them with a new perspective.
