A Little Bit
About Us...

Established in 2006 by visual artists Richard Kendrick and David Martin, exocet is an independent contemporary art organisation currently based in Manchester, UK. It was born from the desire to create new innovative projects of a temporary nature that questioned pre conceived ideas about the creation, access and presentation of artwork.

A main characteristic of exocet projects is the identification of boundaries, focusing on where one territory ends and another begins. By operating nomadically, from a variety of different locations, multiple territories are explored. The inside of ones domestic space, the outside world and what exists between. The area where one artistic medium slips into another and then back again. The exchange between artists from different parts of the world and at different stages of their careers. It is in these moments, where a collision takes place that exocet focuses its interests and explorations.

Exocet actively encourages collaboration and is always keen for an exchange of dialogue with other artists, curators and organisations. There is much to be said for being put out of a comfort zone where you have to truly question your motives and ideas. It is here that the new questions are found.
