| The group met weekly at The Hepworth Wakefield in the months leading up to the gallery opening, as part of a research project entitled 'A Space to Engage'; a collaboration between The Hepworth Wakefield and Dr Kate Pahl, University of Sheffield. Over the course of the project the group considered the unexpected arrival of The Hepworth Wakefield in relation to themselves and thir life in the city. All of the videos and animations in the installation were shot by different members of the group. Each screen reflects different persons' point of view; together they converse as a multi-screen presentation. | |||||||||||||||||

Alongside artistic experimentation and discussion a significant amount of time was spent chatting, drinking tea and eating sandwiches. Strong friendships were formed and each individual defined a place for themselves within the project. The text presented in the installation, compiled by Rebecca Birch reflects these conversations through found extracts from Modernist novels, borrowing from Hardy, Woolf, Golding , Smith and Joyce. The project was supported by the artist Rachel Howfield Massey and the researcher Abi Hackett. |
