Probe is a miniature exhibition space, with walls no higher then 1,10m and a surface of 6m2.

It is a test lab, an artistic skinner box. Its small and practical dimensions enables artists, to create works on scale, that are unthinkable in real life. The architecture of the space is flexible and wholly subservient to the exhibition: walls can be extended, doors can be removed, a floor made of glass, mirrors or wood, even the lighting situation can be fully controlled.
Albeit a physical space, Probe is only accessible on the internet. The registration of the exhibition is the exhibition.
Probe’s flexible dimensions proposes questions, as to the nature of space, seeing for example, that Probe can be wholly absorbed by the installation it contains. Exterior or interior, architecture or sculpture become relative notions.
Probe can also be used as an exhibition making tool. The Height, size and sequence of several works can be researched without ever having to drill a hole. Sketches can be used as dummies, scale warps achieved in seconds.

Beers.Lambert Contemporary Art has been invited by Nottingham’s foremost contemporary art venue, Surface Gallery, to curate its upcoming exhibition of emergent contemporary art. The exhibition, entitled I Am Solitary I Am An Army, features 20 emerging artists who were individually selected for inclusion. Each of the artists’ work responds to questions of identity and individuality, and each artist can be seen as shaping the direction of international and contemporary painting, sculpture, video, and photography. Culled from over 13 different countries worldwide, including Turkey, Israel, Malaysia, Greece, Australia, South Africa, Canada, the US, and the UK, the exhibition will explore current and progressive trends and pathways in international emergent art.

The approach for the exhibition was to remove expectancy away from work dealing with an exclusively figurative approach to the exhibition’s theme; as a result, the work in I Am Solitary encompasses a more conceptual and abstract understanding of ideas around ‘identity’ and ‘individuality’. The works included comment on the relation to the individualistic moment of creation, the solitary subject, the remote instance, or even the viewer’s relationship to the displayed work. Above all, each artist was selected due to the passionate and engaged nature of their work.

The exhibition opens on Tuesday the 31st of August to Saturday the 11th of September, with a private view and reception between 7-10pm on Thursday the 2nd of September. Gallery Hours are Tuesday to Friday 12pm-6pm, and Saturday 11am-5pm.
