'I show my work where I want and where I can. I’m not affiliated with the dominant commercial galleries and their curators. For this I've been called a maverick artist…I like it. This night is for all those who are mavericks. Each of the artists I have selected have forged independent careers in creating and making art.’ – Reko Rennie #MCAARTBAR curated by @rekorennie Fri 24 Feb, 7–11pm.
