Getme! are a West London based creative collective that formed in 2007. Having launched various club nights, and its own clothing line, Getme! is now expanding into the visual arts. Planned for February 2008 is their first organised and sponsored art event. For one week, ‘Welcome to Everywhere’ invites the public to experience the constructed environments of four young contemporary British and one Irish visual artist.
The artists showcased have come together to present their unique visions of the world around. Using a form or combination of forms of ‘reality’ as their starting point, the show presents each artist’s translation of this reality. The works presented are in variety of mediums and styles, including painting, photography and photomontage. The spaces and landscapes depicted in the works, present the viewer with the artists’ own physical and psychological apprehensions of the world, each containing atmospheric moments frozen in time.
In keeping with the post-modern nature of the works of art themselves, the show is to be held in former retail outlet ‘Craze’ – a non-traditional gallery space on Portobello Road. The opening night on the 7th February, which is open to the public, will culminate in a true-to-Getme!-style event, featuring sets played by resident Getme! DJs
