For this exhibition medium to large works and small acts, Martin Poppelwell chose to introduce his work with this quote from Samuel Beckett:

"What I am saying does not mean there will henceforth be no form in art. It only means that there will be new form, and that this form will be of such a type that it admits a chaos and does not try to say that the chaos is really something else. The form and the chaos remain separate. The latter is not reduced to the former. That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate from the material it accommodates. To find a form that accommodates the mess, that is the task of the artist now."

Samuel Beckett, Comment C’est
