HOUSE 2012
Date uploaded: May 21, 2012
HOUSE - Brighton & Hove's contemporary visual arts event - is now in its fourth year. It will take place from 5th to 27th May 2012.
This year, HOUSE welcomes renowned British artist David Batchelor to Brighton, as Lead Artist of HOUSE 2012. Delivering new commissions including Skip and the Brighton Festival co-commission Brighton Palermo Remix, as well as an exhibition of Batchelor’s related work, HOUSE 2012 contrasts the domestic location of The Regency Town House with the city centre site of Bartholomew Square.
Alongside Batchelor’s work, five new satellite commissions from regional artists enhance the streets and public spaces of the city. Responding to the theme of domesticity, the commonplace, and the everyday, HOUSE 2012 reaches out within and beyond the gallery walls. As lead artist, Batchelor influenced the selection and development of the five satellite commissions that make up HOUSE Festival 2012. Through the process of an open-call for proposals, the HOUSE 2012 panel chose Robin Blackledge, Deb Bowness, CINECITY & Anna Deamer, Helene Kazan and Caroline Le Breton.
Central to HOUSE 2012 is an exploration of new ways for people to experience the visual arts and Curator Celia Davies, with Assistant Curator Clare Sheppeard, bring a dynamic curatorial vision and focus to the city this May.
HOUSE 2012 received significant funding from Arts Council England.
