OPEN PLAN at 55 Gracechurch Street, London.
A collective project space led by students from RCA Sculpture and AltMFA (London's free, alternative MA course).
A platform for discussion, exchange, events, exhibitions and trying out new ideas.
A series of one-night exhibition events on the ground floor part of the space. After each event the works from the ground floor will be moved to the upper floor, so that the space gradually becomes filled with an archival forest of works. The events are not curated in a conventional way, but are more of a momentary uprising of works by a wide range of artists. The themes offer a starting point from which to begin to reflect upon the works. We want to space to be a place where artists can try new things out and develop new works. Each event will be followed by a crit.
Events will take place on the following Thursdays 6-9pm: February 7th, February 28th, March 21st, April 19th and April 24th.
For regular updates check the project blog.

HOARD: Towards an Archaeology of the Artist's Mind
February - December 2012.
Part 1, February - July: Unit 20, Norquest Industrial Estate, Leeds WF17 9LT
Part 2, July - December: City West Office Park, Leeds LS12 6NY.
A year-long project in Leeds. A group of artists are hoarding objects and artifacts relating to their practice: finished artworks, props, curiosities, documents, traces, plans, remnants. These objects will become the starting point for new works and performances. The contents of the space will be a physical realisation of the minds of the artists as they evolve over the course of a year. Every two months, for an evening, the space will be open for viewings of this ongoing process of transformation, which will be recorded in the form of an online publication at the end of the year.
Viewing events: 6.30-9.30pm on 25th April, 27th June, 26th September and 28th November 2012. Viewings can also be arranged by appointment - contact louiseashcroft@departurefoundation.com.
Louise Ashcroft, Alice Bradshaw, Lucy Crouch, Gillian Dyson, Sarah Francis, Gill Greenhough, Fritha Jenkins, Hayley McColl, Christopher Mollon, Puy Soden, Chris Wright, Adam Young, and guests.
