Even though all residenct artists had a busy week making and finalising work for the final opening we still managed to squeeze a sequential crit in. Talking about where the work is at and how we faced the challenge of practicing in the office space context and co-existent working alongside with other artists.

I am glad of where my work as arrived at and it feels the end of the residency is just a beginning of exploring this stage further. I would like to explore the turned veneered board pieces in larger scale and making them with a more precise finish for cutting angles and twists. Workshop visits to come. I really enjoyed the residency. However, having worked in a big space and project based makes me question purpose and setting of my studio. On my list to re-think..

The curation of the show grew relaxed by talking to each other and positioning work how we would see it best represented.

Noticable common ground, material and humour linking each display. The opening was a great finale for the residency both in terms of seeing how everything arrived together and how we considered and influenced each other.

Overall, there is a strong sense of research, work investigated and made in response to the space and context in general. bringin together artists with multi-disciplinary background suach as video, performance, sculpture, film and drawing made this project particularly beneficial and exciting.

Next week we will finish the Micro-residency with a post-crit meeting.
