Everything must end!
So today marks the wind down of the Bank Street Artist Residency 2016. Over the last three months we have inducted 13 artists. The time spent by the artists here has varied dramatically but I feel that everyone has benefited in some shape or form. For some the journey will end for others we will continue to work towards a show at the end of summer 2017. This gives thinking time and opportunities for work to mature and find different resolutions.
Today is about reflecting and seeing where we are. We are very privileged to welcome Sam Herbert, to chair the morning critiques. For some the ideas are still sketchbook and or photographically bound, for others new directions are being forged.
Today is also about showing our host, Canary Wharf Contractors, some of our ideas and projects as unresolved work. Like a good building, good art cannot be rushed.
I will post an update in due course with images from the day.
