'We went shopping for Epiphanies in Tiffany’s. Got short changed in the spiritual supermarket, we found the lord in the godhead shop whilst puffing on Osama bong laden and witnessed the mushroom crucified while the fungal virgin wept. We watched the parade, the primate primates flanked by troops of baboons the chimp tank commanders hooted the macaques jack booted. We jumped the Holy Ghost train to escape the whingeing penitents and the infirm sinners on zimmers who begged for deliverance. A one idea sedan chaired wonder with six foot powdered wig jostles through the crowd, their dealer proffering their faberged turds on a silver salver whilst assistants fight for the right to wipe their sorry arses. The Handyman of Sorrows appears amongst the ultimate power tools, ejecting the believers from his do it all temple. How dare you be pious, Sundays are DIY days and the not so handymen will inherit the earth. It’s intentions that count not results. We stare at our backsides instead of the one true Godbox. Maurice commands us to obey; he’s talking in tongues about tongues and Jesus is coming down the mountain and Jesus is coming down and Jesus is coming and Jesus is Jesus.'

Jonathan Swain

Holed Up mirrors the vain attempts by high street banks to plug gaps left in their buidings by the ad hoc removal of redundant ATMs. Jonathan Swain uses current art world trends to highlight evidence of contemporary urban decay and commercial deception. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of discussions and tours of local cash machines.

Exhibition dates & opening times:

Friday 3rd October - Sunday 19th October, Thurs - Sun 1-5pm

4th October 2pm Saturday : Holed Up tour of cash machines around Brighton city centre, initially meeting at Grey Area

11th October 2pm Saturday : Artist Talk, Grey Area

In association with the Brighton Photo Fringe 2008, which supports photographers and lens-based artists by organising and marketing a fringe festival in conjunction with Brighton Photo Biennial. There will be over 70 exhibitions and events running in parallel with Brighton Photo Biennial 2008.
