🎼 40 years today since the release of The Raincoats' eponymous debut album, @gina.birch hosted an informal evening of films and songs with the other artists from #FreezeFrameFastForward in our Mezzanine - reminiscing and looking to the future, which are both appropriate activities for this exhibition! If you couldn't make it this evening we'll be open till the 14th of December so plenty of time to stop by 🎥

✨ MEET THE ARTISTS ✨
Today's featured artist is Lucy Jagger @hellolucyjagger from our Soho studios. "I'm working on a series of landscapes which I hope move beyond literal representation or romantic escapism and encourage 'experiential escapism'. When I'm out painting, I really 'feel the landscape' and I want to convey this. The wild rhythms of seasons rush through the paintings, found objects embedded in paint. I build up layers of paint in an attempt to mimic the layers of our surroundings - some tiny details are considered, some marks are free and chance. I want the viewer to simultaneously be lost and found in a landscape the is known or unknown; a process which can be repeated endlessly as a form of auto observation where the viewer owns the relationship." Meet Lucy and her works in the upcoming Art Sale and Christmas Market on December 14th, 12-8pm

There's only a few spots left on our upcoming Solargraphy workshop with @kuca_magda put on in conjunction with Freeze-frame, Fast-forward. Solargraphy is a slow-exposure photographic technique that creates beautiful, haunting snapshots of extended periods of time. Participants in the workshop will build a camera from a beer-can which they can take home and set up to capture an image. The workshop is free to attend - all you need to do is bring the beer-can! The workshop will take place in two sessions from 1pm - 3pm on the 30th of November. If you'd like to take part register now through the link in our bio xx

✨ MEET THE ARTISTS ✨
This week's featured studio artist is Xenia Busalova @xeniabusalovastudio who is currently a resident of our Soho studios. Her works are tactile, handmade 'analogue' objects. She says "I use tangible qualities of materials like porcelain, clay, metal, and wood as conceptual tools to translate augmented matters into the 'seen' things already experienced by the human perceptual apparatus. These palpable cognitive mediators allow us to catch sight of otherwise unperceived aspects of life." Xenia will be showing some of her works in 'Perceptual Shift' curated by @nicholas.dietrich and @karentronel opening at no. 48 Poland St on November 10th 2019, 12-6pm and in 'Gestura' in the TKP Central Mezzanine, curated by @louisdnzt @artsegrelles and @karentronel on November 26 2019, 6-9pm
