Wild and Domesticated
Members - Wild and Domesticated
5th NOVEMBER 2010: Opening of a themed exhibition Wild and Domesticated
by members of the Serpentine Community Gallery
on Friday from 6pm.
Yes it's been a while but
the next members' show has come around....
Wild and Domesticated is the name,
and our artists have been asked to
"use your imagination,
the land, our souls, animals,
landscapes and abstracts,
all could apply."
We haven't had a Wild and Domesticated exhibition before so
we are expecting some great works to come out of the closets.
The event also marks the gallery's 4th birthday
... hip hip hurray...
...a time for balloons, cake and party fashions.
Come and join us at the opening
to celebrate into the night.
As artists we all have our wild sides as we live in this domesticated civilisation.
...and then there are those of us
so domesticated we are
trying to get back in touch with our wild sides.

Opening night of Wild and Domesticated
Creative offerings by gallery members are viewed, discussed and admired.
Artworks including Gareth Lindsay Deakin's 'Leda and the Swan' (pictured with Lismore Mayor Jenny Dowell, new owner Ann Clout and the artist) and Emma Burrow's
'Bla Bla Bla...' find appreciative homes.
The Serpentine Community Gallery's 4th Birthday is celebrated with all the usual trimmings -
like food, wine and music, plus party hats, balloons, sparklers and speeches.
A gathering of artists, friends and Serpentine Community Gallery supporters assembles as committee president Emma (in the absence of gallery founder Rin, travelling in India) gallantly leads off the speeches.
All followed up with Birthday songs, cheers
and ('finally', said the little'uns) the cake.
With balloons in hand, the kids decide it's time for a little artistic expression of their own.
Wild and Domesticated is on view from 5th to 26th November 2010.
