Baseball Bats and Chilli

Rona Smith and Steven Albutt
Tuesday 7th August – Saturday 11th August
(12-7pm)




42 New Briggate present an intriguing installation of handcrafted
baseball bats, alongside delicate layers of chilli powder trapped
between sheets of glass. This follows Steven and Rona’s successful
show at Saint Mark’s church during Situation Leeds earlier this year;
once again in 42 their newly developed work and ideas are put
together.

Steven Albutt - 84
Steven Albutt replicates a vivid and haunting vision he experienced as
a child during the miners strike in 1984. Having been sent to
Amsterdam and then taken care of by squatters, he recalls a corridor
he witnessed in which rows and rows of baseball bats were aligned,
each accompanied by a gas mask.

Rona Smith - White Heat
White Heat is a floor based work comprising of a layer of chilli
powder, pressed between two sheets of glass. The colour will,
depending on the weather in the space, continue to fade over the
duration of the exhibition, archiving the passage of time through this
organic medium and process.

Accompanying this exhibition - resourceCITE
resourceCITE presents a plethora of interesting
documentation and
artwork of site and context responsive work housed in recycled
suitcases. For more information about the archive or how
to submit your own work/documentation please visit the gallery or
