Hypha Studios (HS) and Creative Land Trust (CLT) have joined forces to present a new exhibition, as part of Frieze 2023, spotlighting the work of 32 exceptional artists that we have supported in the last year. In a city pulsating with creative energy, MELT shines a spotlight on the source of London’s artistic vibrancy.

The exhibition’s title, MELT, pays homage to the legendary FREEZE exhibition curated by Damien Hirst in 1988 – a pivotal moment that echoes the current climate of creative evolution. Just as the Young British Artists emerged from that time, MELT raises poignant questions about the future of contemporary artists amid the wealth of unclaimed spaces. Creative Land Trust and Hypha Studios are aligned in their mission and provoke audiences to think about who and what will flourish when artists are afforded the space they deserve.

Creative Land Trust was set up to acquire, preserve and protect long term affordable workspaces for artists, whereas Hypha Studios negotiates free short-term studio and exhibition space for artists in return for a public programme to benefit local communities.

MELT is the inaugural exhibition at Hypha Studios’ brand-new central London location, Regent’s Place, as part of a three-year partnership with British Land. Regent’s Place, owned by British Land, is a fully managed campus including a mix of offices, retail and residential property and is expected to host a number of other exhibitions over the three-year period. British Land provides high quality space to a broad range of local organisations on an affordable basis as part of their commitment to create long-lasting positive impact on the communities they operate within.

C0043: Clay - Live Performance, AirSpace Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent

Address: 4 Broad Street, City Centre, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 4HL

Performance: 7th October, 2-4 pm

I am back as a Private Investigator working on a new obscure case on behalf of the company TLSB.

Presenting ‘Clay’ as a subject rather than a material, I will dig deep into the character of Clay asking: “Can we really manipulate Clay at our will?”, “What are the underlying narratives between human touch and our psyche?” and “What if Clay is not only an artistic material but an enemy or an obscure character to be surveilled and interrogated?”

as part of the British Ceramic Biennial and public programme during William Cobbing’s exhibition at AirSpace Gallery. Supported by Arts Council England
