dial zero is a group of international artists who met while studying at Goldsmiths in London. Since then they have relocated to different cities and countries, forming a scattering of artists who continue to practise in a variety of different disciplines. For this, their third group exhibition, they respond to the configuration of the beer halls at Tou Scene, with their dynamic show concertina. The numerous halls, like the folds of a page or bellows of an accordion offer an opportunity for the artists to work together, disputing, extending and devising ideas. dial zero is delighted to be working with ICORN writer in residence Chenjerai Hove for this show.
