LIFE WITHOUT AIR

Game of ecological consequences with artists Helen Acklam, Katy Connor, Matt Davies, Laura Philips, Vicky Smith, Jack Young.

The Garage, Bristol, 2023

LIFE WITHOUT AIR

Collaborative project at The Garage project space (now moved to new premises in The Launderette, Stokes Croft). This was an early approach to the open ended, discursive and collaborative approach to production we are developing through Laundry Projects. The project culminated in an informal symposium over a meal with Leah Capaldi (UAL) as discussant.

The artists involved all share an interest in ecological precarity and complexity, and the challenge this poses for how we approach our practices. We worked with a cumulative process — like a game of consequences — to reflect on and share this exploration and its material outcomes. The project grew over two weeks as each artist in turn responded to the growing installation with their own intervention. The project culminated in an informal symposium around a meal with artist Leah Capaldi (UAL) as respondent.
