Inadvertent Exhibition Inadvertent, The Launderette, 145 Cheltenham Road, Bristol April 25th - May 4th, 2025 Private View Friday 25th April 2025 6 - 9 pm Coffee and informal meet the artists/ book club chat- Saturday 26th April 11- 1 pm If you are a fan of Karl Ove Knausgard's writing, this will be a chance to discuss your favourite book, visit the exhibition and meet some of the artists. This exhibition brings together 16 painters responding to or in dialogue with the writing of Norwegian author, Karl Ove Knausgård. Curated by Andrew Churchill and Catherine Knight. List of Artists: Louise Bristow Maria Carvallo Andrew Churchill Martyn Cross Lara Davies Salvatore Fiorello Nicky Hodge Peter Jones Catherine Knight Brendan Lancaster Tim Millen Johannah Muriel David Risley Michael Simpson Kate Sherman Reed Wilson In Karl Ove Knausgård’s 2018 essay, Inadvertent, he sets out to answer the question, “Why I write” and muses on the idea that: “Thoughts are the enemy of the inadvertent, for if one thinks about how something will seem to others, if one thinks about whether something is important or good enough, if one begins to calculate and to pretend, then it is no longer inadvertent and accessible as itself, but only as what we have made it into. The thought of what others will think, of whether this is any good or not, all criticism and self- criticism, all reflection and judgment must be put aside for trust to develop. In this sense, writing must be open and innocent. But in order for something within this openness and innocence to emerge and become accessible, there have to be limitations, and this is what we call form.” This could equally be applied to painting and how the best things are stumbled across almost by accident. Painters often devise ways to “get out of their own way”, catch themselves unaware or make their best work while focusing on a different piece entirely. Knausgård’s vulnerability, unflinching honesty about his own life and way of exploring universal issues such as love, death and grief, intertwined with domestic details and the daily workings of family life alongside his ability to see the everyday in fresh and new ways make him a favourite writer of many painters. This exhibition aims to open this discussion and bring together work from a diverse set of painters who relate to him in their own way or whose work has a resonance with Knausgård’s writing for the curators of this exhibition.
