At the beginning of the summer Aspex 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 a couple of months the main gallery space functioned as a workshop space with artists working for fixed periods throughout the project. Visitors were able to access the gallery, observe and talk to the artists while they transform cast-offs into new creations or incorporate them into performances.
