Work in Progress

23:57 was a residency series and exhibition in response to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21, which tool place in Paris in 2015. Artists working across a diverse range of media took up residency at Fuse Art Space, working from the gallery to produce sculptural, conceptual and performance works. An exhibition of environmental photography, film and interactive video works will also be on show throughout.

Artists residence at Fuse Art Space included Beth Savage, Catherine Guggiari, Sally Barker, Joanna Brown, Sophie Powell, Emma Miller, Rita Byon and Olivia Furber and Jo Tyabji.

Alongside the resident artists, works gathered via an open call to photographers and filmmakers formed a permanent fixture in the space for the full term of the exhibition – the environmental photography of Mark Adams, Sean Hovendick & John Wesley Mannion, interactive video work by Nina Yankowitz & Barry Holden, and films by David Theobald and Mandy Williams.

23:57 also included a series of artist-led performances and events.
