In January 2012 artists from Shift Collaborative Studio will come together to share interpretations of the theme “shift”. With references from a wide range of possibilities — the shift key; a shifty character; shapeshifting; a shift in perspective — the exhibition explores what it means to be a member of Shift Collaborative Studio.
