Nous vous are a design collective based in leeds. I felt they would of been Perfect for this Exhibition as they are a well know collective who also have a D.I.Y ethic about them. Unfortunately they have been and are extremely busy with there current exhibition at PSL. They did however point us in the direction of conway and young.

Articulate invite you to take part in an exhibition with a difference.
Inspired by the D.I.Y ethic that seems to epitomise both the art and music scene in Leeds, we will be hosting an exhibition in a home. We feel that your work contributes greatly to this image of Leeds as a city where people create their own opportunities. In order to fully demonstrate the resourcefulness and ingenuity of artists and collectives in Leeds we are looking to bring as many of these people as possible together in our one night exhibition.
The exhibition will take place in early to mid June (we will aim to set a date which is convenient for everyone involved) and will allow you to express yourself in any medium. There is no set brief or guide-lines so this is an chance to either create new work within the space (which will be one room per artist or collective) or use the space to exhibit existing pieces. The only rule is that you must either use or work around whatever is already in the room (I.e. light fittings, fireplaces etc).
You will be given one day to prepare and set up the room of your choice and the exhibition will take place the following evening. We are aiming to fill every room in the house with artists’ work, including the kitchen, bathroom and basement! Overall there are nine rooms so feel free to recommend other artists or collectives working in the Leeds area.
This is a unique opportunity to express your originality in unusual surroundings, alongside other talented artists from out wonderful city!
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible,
Articulate.

Hey dudes,
Sorry but we're going to have to duck out of this one, we'd really like to do it but we've just had 2 months of creating work for exhibitions and have subsequently neglected certain other responsibilities. So we're chasing our tails a little at the mo. If anything else pops up soon let us know and we'll see if we're in a better position. Have you contacted Conway & Young? they set up residencies in their house. They might be of interest to you.
Let us know when it opens we'll definitely attend.
Cheers,
Jay

I looked at Conway and Young's website and felt that they would also be a good addition to the night. There work was hugely based on D.I.Y ethics and they produced work in Peculiar spaces like in the Merrion centre.

Hello.
Great to have you possibly on board. we will hopefully be doing this before the 14 so there shouldn't be a problem.
The address is 30 Hartley Grove Woodhouse, I should be in tomorrow between half 10 till late so you can pop round then or whenever if you just want to have a look at the outside.
Regards
