Mura Ma

“Somewhere between an expanded still life and a stage set-an invitation to participate in an imagined occupancy. A mise-en-scene.” Kirsty Bell, author of Artist’s HouseJane Fairhurst and Nan Collantine have set the scene for 30 artists to co-curate an exhibition about art in the home have handed over the installation process to the artists themselves. &#x27;Live with it&#x27; will begin with a series of unseen performative elements, starting with the activation of the space with sculptures by Kat Button and Jane Fairhurst.The gallery will be divided into rooms, intimated through the placing of items of furniture. Each room is then developed, as artists respond through the placing of an artwork and an object within their chosen space in a given time slot of 30 minutes.The exhibition will evolve as art and all objects in the exhibition are available to buy and taken away, as you would in a shop. Sold objects and artworks will be replenished on a weekly basis and different artists will be invited to place work within the installation.Viewers will be invited to enter the created space to experience the imagined environment that mimics the ‘artists house’.This talk will investigate the home as a place of creative endeavour, observe and discuss the practice of collecting and arranging, and explore how domestic labour and caring can be reframed as valuable creative capital.Delving into the work of Francis Bacon, the Art Povera movement, Kirsty Bell, Gaston Bachelard The Poetics of Space, Soetsu Yanagi The Beauty of Everyday Things, artist Sol Calero’s exhibition Casa Encontrada, Shaun McNiff, Trust the Process, this talk promises to be an enlightening evening of discussion.Refreshments included.
