In-between spaces are rich territory for artists. For some, this involves exploring the domestic forms of doors and windows that might act as portals from one place to the next. Others examine the experience of living between locations. And many artists address the thin boundary that exists between the internal, psychological world and physical reality. For ‘A Place’, the summer exhibition of resident artists, designers, and jewellers at Lee McQueen’s Sarabande Foundation, the idea of transitional spaces takes centre stage.
The foundation, set up by the late British designer to support emerging talent, has become known for nurturing boundary pushing artists and makers, many of whom embrace McQueen’s creative subversion. Since its inception, the space has expanded to encompass studios in both Haggerston and Tottenham, both situated within classic London buildings: a former stables and a sprawling townhouse. ‘A Place’ is comprised of two exhibitions and special events throughout August and early September.
