WATCH THIS SPACE at The Phoenix Gallery, Brighton, 30 April to 11 June 2005

For six weeks the gallery at Phoenix Arts in Brighton was transformed into an interactive studio environment, where visitors had a unique opportunity to observe three artists at work, and participate in a range of activities.

During the residency, visitors were able to chart the journey through the creative processes involved from the initiation of a brand new project. From early factual and visual information gathered on the theme of “Way-finding”, including stories from the public, writers and local school children, experimental work rapidly evolved within the gallery. Visitors were able to see the development of ideas and growth of work in both two and three dimensions, as it was made . They shared in the lateral and creative thinking processes taking place, experiencing the unpredictability, the surprises, successes and failures which are part of an artist's every day work.
