National and International exchange between artists is a vital and energizing experience, and it’s one of the things we wanted Studio 75 to facilitate. In June the first international exchange will take place at the studio: the visit of artists based in Valencia, Spain.
The space we’re exchanging with is La Clinica Mundana, and it’s organised by two curators, black duck and Red Nomade. The artists who will be exhibiting are from Spain and Argentina: Daniel Granero, Claudia Martinez, Ima Picó, Cristina Ghetti and Paula Bonet – and there will also be a video screening. The work is graphic and bold, quite in the spirit of Studio 75 and it’s going to be exciting.
In September we’ll go in turn to the beautiful city of Valencia and show our work there.
The studio turned into a mural workshop this week as Nazir made a giant mural for a hoarding opposite the studio. Naz has been doing murals for years, but it’s not that easy in London to find huge expanses of virgin space to paint on. It’s fantastic to work in the studio and see the giant colourful mural through the open window.
