  • “DO MY BIDDING” - EUROPE

    The Camper Tour arrives in art centre Saksala ArtRadius on Saturday April 10 and departs on Monday April 12.
    On Sunday April 11 everybody is welcome to visit this driving art studio.

    MANIFESTO
    Do My Bidding was established in 2007, our purpose being to work collaboratively on projects that reach a wide audience and bring art to the disadvantaged.
    The collective consists of two female artists who endeavor to undertake both collaborative works and independent pieces.
    We aim to engage in at least one community project per year, working in underprivileged areas to bring art and art practices to those who might not necessarily have access to them.
    We aim to improve our social adhesion in communities as well as anywhere else we can work.
    We aim to work with everyone who is interested in our art.

    • To compare the reaction and willingness of people across Europe to relational art (or to my practice of interaction).
    • To drive across Europe in a campervan and interact with people on the streets or from within the campervan.
    • To contact galleries across Europe to arrange an organised/advertised event.
    • To use the campervan as a studio, exhibition/gallery space, mode of transport and home.
    • To document the interactions and events to be exhibited on return to Swansea in various galleries in the UK.

    OBJECTIVES:
    We hope to forge new relationships with the countries we visit , also we hope to gain a better insight and understanding of the places we carry our project out in through cultural exchange. We hope to promote Welsh art and to encourage European artists to visit Wales.
    Our end aim is to increase peoples understanding towards minorities in Wales, the rest of the UK and hopefully Europe by promoting the fact that everyone is similar no matter where they come from. We hope our liaisons with the European galleries and our UK exhibitions will put this across.
    This project will bring the opportunity to a vast and diverse section of both the population of Swansea and Europe, hopefully the rest of the UK too, to take part in artistic and cultural activity. Hopefully we will increase awareness and understanding of the various European cultures present in Swansea and also foster greater feelings of inclusion and value towards these people. We also aim to promote Wales and Swansea to the people we visit.
