Art and Value
Art and Value was an exhibition and research residency at Bethlem Gallery between April – August 2019. My research explored how to engage visitors with art meaningfully. I asked visitors, artists and curators a series of questions about what art meant to them and made a series of three risograph printed zines with the answers. I also ran workshops with visitors around the theme of art and value. I worked with discarded objects found in a tip on-site at the hospital, binding them and weaving with them, to change their meaning. I invited visitors to join the creative process by binding a medicine trolley with strips of fabric (curtains, sheets and clothes), wool, string and tape. Throughout the exhibition the trolley changed and grew as the layers of binding built up. You can read more about the residency on my blog.
