Barbaresi & Round <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I have worked (not exclusively) with the artist Rachel Barbaresi since 2004.<\/p>\n

Selected Exhibitions <\/strong>and Projects<\/strong><\/h3>\n

2025<\/p>\n

Growing Structures \/ A Ballard of Things<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A CCW Teaching and Learning project at Camberwell College of Arts. The playful, asymmetrical structure enables a space for growing with the Camberwell Gardening Advocates. Students from BA Painting, Sculpture, Drawing and Photography are linking the project to their practice in different ways.<\/p>\n

2023-24<\/p>\n

Habitat: Degree 51N \/ -0E<\/em><\/strong> is a project with the film-maker Michael Hrebeniak as part of UCL\u2019s public engagement programme at UCL East. We worked at the intersection of allotment gardening and migrant communities. With a local primary schools we have developed a structure from materials encoding past histories that will serve simultaneously as a space for growing and projecting a film collage exploring allotment oral histories.<\/p>\n

2022<\/p>\n

Home in Mind<\/strong><\/em> was a CCW Funded Research project based at Safe House 1 in Peckham. As Barbaresi & Round, we are exploring, what is the relationship between the physical structure or framework of the home and the narrative of personal life? Safe House 1 shows a home stripped back and exposed with the bones of the house laid bare. It tells a story of a house without giving the shelter and nurture that it was designed for, inviting us to speculate and project onto its surfaces. We are interested in re-imagining the domestic space with the freedom that this transitional shell of home allows. We are working with the artist and Oxford-based community activist Junie James of ACKI (African-Caribbean Kultural Initiative). She presented her work in a dialogue with ours reflecting on memories and loss in relation to the role of the home for the migrant experience.<\/p>\n

2022<\/p>\n

Transcription: Decolonising the Museum<\/strong><\/em> was a CCW EDI funded project for Foundation students, with the artist and Senior Lecturer Raksha Patel, based on working with decolonial readings of objects from the British Museum and the National Gallery. The project culminated in a co-curated exhibition in the Foyer Space at Camberwell College of Arts promoting a dialogue between BA and Foundation Painting students around decolonial practices.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>2020 – 21<\/p>\n

Over lockdown Barbaresi and I worked with one another\u2019s domestic imagery and materials, exchanging digital images of drawings and physically posting one another left over DIY samples. Through the work, we have been questioning, how do the DIY situations, mess, or unresolved physical forms in our home space relate to the flux of family life? This exchange has been documented on our Instagram sites.<\/p>\n

2017<\/p>\n

The Generation Exchange<\/em><\/strong> was an exhibition and project based at Wimbledon Space, as Barbaresi & Round. We worked with senior citizens in the borough of Merton by bringing them together with 2nd<\/sup> year Painting students. Collectively we researched material based on the river Wandle and developed work for an exhibition at Wimbledon Space.<\/p>\n

We put on a discussion event with Dr Claire Robins from the Institute of Education, which gave a historical overview to participatory practice and placed the project within the context of the history of collaborative learning. The project was funded by a Teaching and Learning award from UAL.<\/p>\n

Viva Exhibition at The Brewery Tap in Folkestone. I constructed an archive of my practice-based research in the form of a fictional house inside the gallery.<\/p>\n

2015<\/p>\n

Swimming in the Cathedral<\/em><\/strong>, for Acts Reacts 2 residency in Wimbledon Space. I made a fabric piece, based on the internal concrete struts of Crystal Palace Sports Centre. The making process, closing event and discussion provided an opportunity for Theatre and Fine Art students to come together, generating a cross-disciplinary dialogue.<\/p>\n

2013<\/p>\n

This exhibition on two sites at OVADA, Oxford and Lagalerie, Paris developed from parallel explorations of the edges of the cities.
