Little Pleasures
Mon 23 September - Fri 1 November
Alison Richard Building
Little Pleasures is an exhibition by artists from Los Angeles and Cambridge. It is a collaboration with Durden and Ray, curated by Alexandra Baraitser and David Leapman.
So often we yearn for large pleasures that are hugely desirable, expensive and often out of reach, while all around us lies an array of small pleasures free for the taking. Self-help books and guides highlight how important it is to appreciate the overlooked and become serious about pleasure. Even if our lives are busy and stressful, it is never too late to sit back, relax and get the best out of life’s small pleasures.
Little Pleasures explores deeply personal moments in time. From enjoying the sun to walking in the woods, artists make work about what’s special to them. When visiting Little Pleasures, the viewer is guided to those activities that give us the most joy in our lives and help us rediscover tiny things that can rejuvenate tired bodies and minds. This exhibition illustrates how pleasurable everyday activities can have a psychologically positive affect.
Featured artists:
Eleanor Breeze, Alexandra Baraitser, Clio Lloyd-Jacob, David Leapman, Renee Spierdijk, Alexandra Wiesenfeld, Hagop Najarian, Jorin Bossen, Arezoo Bharthania, Jenny Hager and Valerie Wilcox
