Nomadic artist led project space Thamesmead Texas’ latest strand of artistic activity explores the theme of interdependency: between housing developer, studio provider and artists based in Thamesmead. This set of relationships is ostentatiously aimed at ‘culturally regenerating’ the new town that sits on the outer edge of London’s southeastern edge.
As part of the Art Licks Weekend, Thamesmead Texas will launch their first publication at TACO! with a series of related events, including screenings and walks that respond to the theme of cultural regeneration in the context of Thamesmead. The publication acts as a record of a series of speed exhibitions that took place from a private living room in 2018, by artists based in Thamesmead, as part of Bow Arts Trust Thamesmead scheme.
The publication and responses includes contributions from Joseph Griffiths, S.P.A.R with Brian Guest, Almudena Romero, Liam Scully, Dominika Kieruzel, Miyuki Kasahara, Vanessa Scully, Jackson Payne, James Lander, Liam Sprod, Emily Crookshank and Natasha Bird. Artist cocktail on arrival! Food and drinks served on the night.
Curated by Scully & Scully, as part of The Future of Artists and Architecture exhibition. In partnership with TACO! Part of Art Licks Weekend 2019.
