HTAP 'Pattern Making for Beginners'

The exhibition took the form of an interactive mapping event investigating community formation through dialogue and play. As a research and collection centre, it enabled experimentation with a sense of place. In addition to photographic traces, object-based narratives and poetic gestures, visitors informed and directed the six different maps presented on the day with their own marks.

Artists: Alison Barnes, Marsha Bradfield, Miriam Kings, Lucy Tomlins and David Woosnam

'Pattern Making for Beginners' investigates community formation through dialogue and play. It proposes creative cartographies as a way of imaging/imagining new forms of sociality that are self consciously contingent, complex and often conflictive. 

The exhibition will be an interactive one-day mapping event. Tools and playful activities will be used to encourage multi-layered audience engagement.

The collection is aimed at uncovering micro stories which may otherwise not have been documented. Personal stories, anecdotes and poetic gestures give a sense of time and place. These will inform the wider concepts being investigated such as our understanding of community formation.

Artists involved are: Alison Barnes, Marsha Bradfield, Miriam Kings, Jessica Marlowe, Lucy Tomlins and Dave Woosnam. 

Come and engage with our activites! 

Lemondade and discussion area provided!

Needle & Scalpel - 27 June to 3 July

An Exhibition of sculpture and etchings by Edward Addlington and Iavor Lubomirov.

Opens 6pm (Saturday 27 June) with a Champagne Reception.

Thereafter open daily: 4 - 8pm 28 June to 3 July
Address: 295 Burntwood Lane, SW17 0AP

Supported by: AFMMXII & The Magnificent Basement Co. Ltd.

Needle and Scalpel will be the first exhibition resulting from a series of planned collaborations between 'Artists for 2012' and London property developers willing to open their buildings between completion and sale as alternative temporary exhibition spaces.  

The object of these collaborations is:  

1. to provide artists with opportunities outside the gallery system

2. to take emerging art outside saturated artistic hubs in South and East London and into the wider London community

The space for Needle and Scalpel is provided by 'The Magnificent Basement Company Ltd' in a development near Wandsworth Common.  A second show led by Sharon Gal, featuring live performance art, audience participation art and music will take place the following Saturday 4 July from 2-7pm.  Details to follow.
