As part of ABC, a project in collaboration with Back Lane West and CMR - two other Redruth based contemporary art projects - Auction House is delighted to present Second Hand, a group exhibition by 15 contemporary artists unfolding over three weekends, across two spaces, curated by Liam Jolly.

 

The project begins here on St Piran’s Day in the K9 Crusaders Charity Shop as a one-day intervention, with works nestled amongst the shops many treasures, before the works are extracted and re-presented at Auction House at the Buttermarket for the following 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.
