Exhibition Preview: Hold On

THE KOPPEL PROJECTThe Koppel Project (est. 2016) is an arts charity, gallery, and creative hub based in central London. We aim to support early and mid-career artists by offering affordable studio spaces. We also run KOPPEL venues, including both pop-up and long-term white-wall galleries, ideal for hosting exhibitions, innovative brands, and creative entrepreneurs' events and activities.In addition to our studios, The Koppel Project exhibition and residency programme provides space, funding, and logistical support for staging projects and exhibitions by studio residents, guest artists, and curators. We collaborate with national and international artists, curators, and institutions from a range of disciplines to develop curatorial projects and thoughtful exhibitions that provoke dialogue and generate diversity in the art world. The mission of our programme is to stimulate transformative cultural exchange and extend knowledge and understanding across subjects. The Koppel Project is committed to exploring and sustaining innovative learning solutions through collaboration, hypothesising, experimenting, and ultimately helping to reinvent traditional learning systems.We are grounded in the brokerage of space, repurposing abandoned buildings and actively aiding and fostering the growth and development of creative communities in London. As such, we are a nomadic organisation, moving from site to site as necessary and adapting creatively to each new set of challenges and opportunities. We have been based in buildings from Baker Street to Stoke Newington, and along the way, we have worked with over a thousand artists, curators, arts organisations, creative brands, charities, and other institutions.We take great pride in our team's flexibility and creativity, as well as our passion for collaboration and the strong community we've developed over the last seven years.The Koppel Project is currently based in the City of London, Borough of Camden, the West End, Mayfair, and Piccadilly, St. James'.

The Koppel Project

The Koppel Project is pleased to present Hold On, an exhibition that addresses the systematisation of our behaviour under neoliberalism.

The Koppel Project Central

Join us for a drinks reception to celebrate the opening of our first exhibition of 2020! Featuring performances and a chance to discuss the show with the artists and curators themselves.A project of the trans- curatorial collective, Hold On is both a reflection on the ethics of the encounter and a critique of language, its mediums, and neoliberal strategies of communication. The acceleration of information exchange and the pressures of semiocapitalism constantly force our actions and attitudes into a punishing cycle of productivity, focused on short term stability, not sustainability. How do we envision our future from within this system? How do we channel our energies and desires into nurturing a healthy social body, rather than perpetuating an individualist fantasy? Aiming to reverse the inherently isolating demands of capitalism, these Generation Y artists and curators, including Irene Adorni, Daria Blum, Rowland Hill, Dominic Till, Panicattack Duo, Ruby Wroe, explore collaboration as a healing and regenerative process, wherein alternative forms of resistance can flourish. From this specific generational perspective, the viewer is encouraged to join a public dialogue and experience the gaps between the conformation of norms and their reconsideration through various aesthetic, performative, audio, video, and visual interventions in the space.
