What is Space36
Space36 is an occasional experimental art venue based in an inhabited house in a residential street in North London. Space36 is set up in the belief that the spaces in which art is created, shown and discussed set the conditions for the sort of art that is to be practiced. The rules of such spaces both constrain and liberate artists, the hosts and the audience in particular ways. The inhabitants of Space 36 periodically invite a group of artists to engage with the space over a period of many months to research, experiment and produce art works that respond to the space, its history and environment Space36 is an experiment in opening up a private domestic space to artists and visitors for thinking and art making in a collaborative and convivial setting to see what sort of art and what sort of conversations emerge. The founders of Space36 are Ahmed Farooqui and Alan Swann. Ahmed is an artist , instigator of the Degrees of Freedom collective and Alan is an artificer, fixer and collaborator on many projects. 2020 Interview with Robert Good re: Space36

More about Space36
Participation in Space36 projects is normally by invitation and free of charge.
All mediums appropriate to the space are welcome. The space is shared in a spirit of goodwill and the expectation that participating artists and the public will respect that it is also people's home. Artists are asked to think in terms of a "leave no trace" approach with free standing works, non-invasive fixings and interventions that do not damage the fabric of the building. All participating artists are expected to be present during public opening hours and actively engage with visitors. All artists must take equal part in promoting and publicising the project. |
