Art Hub commenced with Bryony Gillard’s pop-up nail bar, Nail Art on Falmouth Moor. Gillard collaborated with a local nail technician and created five nail designs inspired by famous artworks. Passers-by were given free nail painting with these designs, and as the technician gave the service she spoke about her knowledge of the artwork. Nail Art explored intimacy through the giving of this popular service which can only be done by an artisan as opposed to a machine. The exchange of knowledge between the technician and participants also achieved bonding and challenged the social barriers surrounding art, regarding its hierarchical position. Nail Art’s location on Falmouth Moor mixed with the local shoppers and traders.
