With our autumn exhibition just around the corner, we would like to thank all our supporters and artists in residence this year.
From March to April, our artists in residence from Japan embarked on a creative project around the River Thames, depicting the unseen aspects and memories of the London river. Generously sponsored by Japan House London
For the month of May, Ines explores evolutionary traps and their role in constructing and upholding contemporary myths, developing and creating a new series of sculptural works that delve into the plasticity of these traps. Her works will be exhibited at our Cycles exhibition next month. Ines’ participation is supported by the Embassy of Spain UK, Accion Cultural Espanola and the Wang Family.
As our Exchanging Spaces resident, a pilot project running in conjunction with Oval Learning Cluster, Jasmin Bhanji worked with primary school classes from Year 5 and 6 local to Van Gogh House over the month of June. Together they developed a range of rubbings, plaster casts, and cyanotype printings. Thank you AKO Foundation for supporting this project.
In partnership with Newcastle University, Yingmei Duan is our virtual artist in residence from June to September. Throughout her residency, Yingmei Duan will spend time researching Van Gogh and creating some virtual, interactive art performances related to painting, installation, video, writing, sound, and photography. You can read more about her research here.
Previously exhibited in our 2023 autumn exhibition, The Living House, Olivia is an artist based in Stockholm and London. Her work is often based on social history, and frequently explores the relationships between gender, power and authority.
Staying with us ahead of her participation in Cycles, Vibeke Mascini explores the sensorial scaling of abstract phenomena and the complex relationship between source and user, focusing on material implications. Mascini proposes installations where memories and mysterious sensorial experiences meet the newest technology of the rapidly growing field of energy storage systems.
April is a busy month for Van Gogh House! Whilst the house is still being looked after by artist residents Yoichi Kamimura and Takehito Koganezawa, we have a number of off site events for you to get involved in.
Yoichi will be playing some of his field-recording infused ambient music at Brixton’s community radio station, Brixton Radio at 10pm! Tune into Brixton Radio’s live stream on Mixcloud or pop into Brixton Radio for a drink and listening session.
Takehito will be hosting a drawing workshop at our sister space San Mei Gallery. This workshop will challenge participants to work together on a sequence of collective drawings, bringing together ideas around authorship and collaboration. The workshop is free but please do book a space!
Takehito and Yoichi will be performing at Japan House. Drift Ice on the River Thames is an immersive performance blending ambient soundscapes and live drawing by the artistsi. The performance is a culmination of the artists’ parallel research conducted during their residency at Van Gogh House in London supported by Japan House London Trust.
The event is free but please book!
