Following part one of this project that began on St Piran’s Day as a one-day intervention in a charity shop on Redruth’s high street, the works have now been extracted where they will be re-presented at AH for the next two weeks.
Moving between contrasting systems of value and display, Second Hand explores how context shapes meaning – from the visual noise of a charity shop to the conventions of the gallery. By asking artists to present something existing, work with items in the shop, or make a light-touch intervention within this non-art space, the project invites new audiences to encounter contemporary art and follow it as it relocates to Auction House, making the act of extraction both visible and literal.
