27 April 2018 to 4 May 2018

'This project was created in response to the house I was living in at the time. It was rented out by an agency room by room and had a constant rotation of tenants with most people staying in the house for the minimum term of three months; creating a continuously shifting and oddly impersonal living situation. This housing situation, while peculiar, is becoming more and more the norm and I wanted to make work about the house to use the situation to my advantage and root myself into the space that I didn’t feel was my own.

I decided to turn one of the bathrooms to a temporary darkroom, opening up the house as subject matter to artists interested in the process of making work within the space. After holding a call out for participants ten artists were selected to take part, each of them proposing different working processes and approaches to the project. The invited artists then completed residencies within the space, lasting anything from one to four days.'

 

Exhibition Preview & Publication Launch: Friday 27th April 6-8pm at The Grosvenor Gallery.
The exhibition continues until Friday 4th May, the opening hours are 10am - 6pm Monday to Friday.
