TRAIN/ENNIAL looks at the form of the mega-blockbuster and contemplates arts practice in the age of the spectacle. Using the train as a metaphor for the professional journey, as artists, how do we navigate the power structures of the art world? TRAIN/ENNIAL uses a number of motifs and actions to explore notions of spectacle, passive consumption, artist’s labour, commodification, box ticking, revenue raising and the very nature of the fundraiser as exhibition format. The exhibition features curated projects, performances, writing and a huge range of individual artworks from artists wishing to support c3’s community.
