Open Studio Expo #4

It's about time that we open our doors on the wonderful works - and works in progress - of four of Het HEM's studio artists. Taking place in the Grey Space and in the Studios of artists Benjamin Francis, Mint Park, Bonnie Ogilvie and Iriée Zamblé, Open Studio Expo #4 didn’t start out as a group show but somehow turned into one. When we took the works down into the Grey Space, a portrait of the artists as individuals and as a collective emerged.

Open Studio #4 is about the merging of traditions, the reconstruction and reappropriation of some of our most ancient rituals and relationships. It’s about family ties that are strengthened not by blood, but by proximity, necessity and choice. It’s about what happens when you are temporarily situated in a place together.

Opening times:

Saturday 6 July, 14:00 – 22:00
Sunday 7 July, 14:00 – 18:00 (only Grey Space is open, Living Room with RAAAF and Sanctum are closed)

Free entry
