BEACON_TRANSITIONS

Although closed to the public during the Covid-19 pandemic, Beaconsfield has continued to maintain a space of cultural exchange through BEACON_TRANSITIONS (B_T) – an innovative online portal.

BEACON_TRANSITIONS (B_T) as a threshold space
Responding to the uncertain future of exhibition culture, Beaconsfield invites artists to hold the liminal space between physical and virtual sites in a new series of experimental commissions: ‘Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of the mind’[1].

The gallery reopens to visitors in June for open studio days with Jin Han Lee and artsXR on 2, 5, 12, 19 June 2021, 12-5pm.

B_T is made possible by DCMS Cultural Recovery Fund, Art Council England’s Emergency Response Fund and Lambeth’s Arts and Culture at Risk Fund.
