Description:
Gertrude's annual Octopus show always exceeds anyone's expectations of an art launch. It is Plato's idea of an opening. This year's exhibition is curated by the incredible Emily Cormack. It's about the cute patheticness (is that a word?) of hope and optimism in a generally f*cked world. About how artists connect hope with imagination. The party will be about how art fans connect Friday night with affordable goon. There's something in it for all of us.
