For(matter)
Artistic residency during July 2014 with artists Athanasios Zaroucliotis, Constança Clara, Inês Teles, João Rolaça, Robert Cervera and Yana Naidenov, resulting in a collective exhibition.
For(matter) is a meeting of artists who spent an academic year at Byam Shaw School of Art, Central Saint Martins, and developed a collective dialogue which proved to be dense and enriching for their individual practices. During this time, their conceptual affinities became clear and the dialogue continues to this day, with a special focus on materiality and the value of process as revelatory of the work itself. Although their technical and media approaches are diversified, all artists have a common drive to experiment with materials whilst allowing unexpected and open-ended results to unfold.
