February is always the month that needs a little lift; it lacks the promise of January but keeps the weather. By the time February hits you’ve already given up on your New Years resolutions and possibly even picked up a few new vices along the way.
At Catch, however, we prefer the notion that optimism is for life and not just for Christmas (and January) so here in the dregs of winter we bring you an exhibition of the half full. We encourage you to aim out of your league, to keep up with both the Joneses and the Kardashians, to seek out your 15 minutes and to only eat off silver platters whilst staring off into the sugar coated sunset through your rose tinted glasses.
With this exhibition Catch presents a selection of artists from both London and New York, who’s work will carry us through that lull between the anticipation of New Year and the relief of Spring.
And as the wise man from the Internet tells us…
“The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead.” Robert Brault

Mise en abyme is a term that refers to a story within a story. It is the effect you get when you face two mirrors towards one another, revealing an infinite world of reflecting light where before there was only a few square yards of empty space. Only when the two mirrors are facing one another does the focus of attention shift away from our own reflection and onto the mirror itself- forcing us to wonder about, and test the properties of, it’s reflectiveness. …(read more)
