Summary

Winstanley paints unoccupied waiting rooms, television lounges and student common rooms; places for killing time. “The idea of a toy exhibition which represents a real exhibition appealed to me on a number of levels. My paintings have, for a long time, dealt with the nature of the image and the transformation of meaning that occurs when an image finds form in a new and sometimes unexpected media. Exhibition attempts to extend this idea. It includes a set of images which, taken together, constitute a potential installation. This was true of the original exhibition of paintings (at the Tate Gallery, London 1998) and it is true of this work. However the recipient is now invited to play an active role in hanging, grouping and displaying the individual items. Exhibition also acts as a memento of a group of works that have long since been dispersed.”
