At the beginning of the summer will undertook a rag and bone-style collection of unwanted domestic and small-scale industrial items within Portsmouth and Southsea. Selected artists then took these objects, which were no longer fit or have served their purpose and turned them into something potentially beautiful and definitely different.
For the past couple of months main gallery space has functioned as a workshop space with artists working for fixed periods throughout the project. Visitors have been able to access the gallery, observe & talk to the artists while they transform cast-offs into new creations or incorporate them into performances. After the experiment ends on 25 Septmber, aspex will curate an exhibition of the creations, which will preview on Friday 30 September, and remain open until 9 October.

Working Title is part-financed by the European Union, and is part of Landscapes, Cities, People, a project which aims to build and broaden audiences for contemporary visual art in the UK, France and Belgium.
