Eldi Dundee
Eldi Dundee is an artist and the founding curator of Small House Gallery, est. 2016.
Small House Gallery began to branch out during Covid lockdown 2020, inviting artists to submit proposals for solo shows in the modified 1:12 scale dolls house gallery, then two additional dolls houses were added in Janurary 2021, expanding the offer: Small House Two and Small House Cottage.
(The temporary loan of a vintage 'Matchbox' car garage (Mac's Garage) turned micro gallery Small House Garage gave artists a fourth SHG building to play with - or rather, choose to exhibit in. The Garage has now been happily reunited with the grown up little boy it was originally made for, 60 years prior to us being its custodians for a couple of years.)
There have been more than 35 solo exhbitions in the SHG houses between inception, dormancy, pandemic revival and now (the time of writing being January 2023), with one exhibition (The Big Small Summer Open 2021) involving almost 30 artists showing upwards of three works per artist across four Small House Gallery settings.
Small House Cottage began touring the UK in 2022, as part of a micro-gallery co-curation project #smallhouseontour - it's been to Northumberland and Whitstable (for the Biennale Satellite) and is currently at Turntable Gallery, Grimsby, where it will remain for the longer term in a curatorial collaboration between Eldi Dundee, and Dale Wells and Darren Neaves.
