No Vacancy

No Vacancy presents a new body of paintings by Alan Stanners, influenced by a manifesto written by the artist in 2011. The Qualmlessist Manifesto offers the artist and audience a set of equally serious and laughable frameworks from which to make, and 'understand', his paintings.

A number of the paintings presetnted in No Vacancy suggests a provocation to act, but leaves the question to act against what or whom?

Stanners (born Dundee, 1985) graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2008. He has exhibited across Europe, with recent shows including 'The Qualmlessist Manifesto', Output Gallery, Norwich, 2011 and 'Thing on the Doorstep', Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, 2010. he also worked collaboratively with Glasgow based collective 85A and will exhibit at the Duchy, Glasgow as part of the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, 2012.
