Two Years of the Six Shot Gallery

2 x 12 = 24 Exhibitions … 24 x 6 = 144 Works

Plenty to See Here!

The Signifier : six : shot : gallery officially launched for January 2021 and, every calendar month since has hosted an artist’s showcase of just six images linked by aesthetics, techniques, processes, philosophies, formal or conceptual elements.

That’s not saying they wouldn’t have without the six shot! They were clearly on those positive trajectories when selected, but Signifier believes their successes are worth celebrating here. Plus, it’s a welcome vote of confidence in the acumen of the curator’s eye...
