HAPPENS links Vauxhall art-neighbours ASC and Beaconsfield, as both organisations celebrate 30 years of operation in South London.
The show reflects Beaconsfield’s longstanding methodology of co-creation and artistic experimentation with artists diverse in age and identity. The link with ASC is made explicit by exhibiting the personal work of Beaconsfield’s founding artist-directors A. David Crawforth and Naomi Siderfin and their ASC studio-mate Minna Haukka, together with younger generation artists Emily Mulenga and Ellis Parkinson, and New York-based eco-feminist A.L. Steiner – all of whom extend commissions from Beaconsfield’s anniversary programme Manifesto for Sustainable Experimentation.
HAPPENS reflects Beaconsfield’s commitment to a present moment that interrogates the notion of ‘environment’, drawing attention to constructions of identity.
