'Help' is a group exhibition curated by London based artist Gary Webb. The artist has previously organized exhibitions, including 'Heart and Soul' (1999) for Sandroni Rey Gallery, Los Angeles, and 'Brown' (2001) for The Approach gallery in London. These shows stood out because of Gary's ability to bring together a large group of artists from different backgrounds and nationalities with a very similar creative outlook. He introduces unknown names, collaborates with colleagues he has come in contact with over various residency programs, and does not shy away from confronting his own extravagant work with strong statements by fellow artists. 'Help' was put together as an exploration into the sculptural practice, extending its vocabulary through artists who work in a variety of media - painting, performance, and video for instance - but who start out from artistic qualities such as volume, spatiality, and 3-dimensionality. The title was taken from the name of a disco club in Brazil, reflecting its colourfulness, its exuberance, and additionally, its slight creepiness.
