I have been running www.nepartism.com a series of online exhibitions for the previous 15 months and have put it on hold so that I can concentrate on finishing a project of my own and making a physical exhibition.
So far what I have come up with is ‘Check in’, 25 & 26th June and ‘Check out’ 24 & 25th Sept
I have invited 2 artists (Jo Longhurst & Eva Stenram) for the opening weekend and 2 artists (Claire Haddon & Lynda Doyle) for the closing weekend of the Triennial
and the basic premise being that they get to exhibit in the bedroom they are staying in. Some of the artists know each other, but I know them all either through study, work or exhibiting with them previously. (Three of the artists I have shown on Nepartism)
I am working on the idea of the hybrid home/hotel and the opportunities that gives for displaying work. Our
home still has obvious hotel traits and I like this idea of
inflicting/reflecting the personal on a transient space, a space that is
meant to be an escape for others.
So thinking about dogs on the bed, illicit affairs, the romantic, flirting, the domestic and suggestion of unseen narratives.
I’ll be taking over the living room and I think the corridors will be displaying work that we own
