Lee Baker and Catherine Borowski are the founders and curators of the renowned and remarkable SKIP Gallery project. The idea being to forge opportunities for artistic interventions in unexpected places by repurposing specifically modified skips. In their words, “Skips are part of our everyday lives, providing the means by which we voraciously dismantle and renew both our personal and urban environments. They are so prevalent that we barely notice them. They represent what we want to jettison, to forget, so there is a profound irony and delight in the creation of artworks housed in a skip.” SKIP Gallery’s participating artists reads like a roll call of a lot of what’s exciting about the contemporary UK creative scene. Imaginative and ambitious, rigorous and provocative, established and emerging visual art are all qualities evinced by SKIP’s impressive roster of collaborators.
