About B+B at Home
Visual arts at ACF continues until September 2003
with a hosting project by B+B (Sarah Carrington and Sophie Hope). This
project extends the residency programme initated by the ACF Visual Arts
Programme with the Office of Anti-Matter and Klub Zwei in 2001 and continued
in 2002 with visits from Umelec, Museum in Progress and Dezentrale Medien.
B+B are inviting artists and curators from central
Europe to take part in an informal programme of screenings, artist's presentations,
talks and discussions. They aim to provide a networked space and a catalytic
environment where artists can consider the opportunities and problematics
of politically engaged practice on the threshold of EU enlargement.
Since 2000, B+B have developed a discursive curatorial
practice which supports artists and their collaborators in situations
ranging from residencies and community-based projects to acts of consultation
and activism. For the duration of B+B at Home, the gallery space at the
ACF will be their office, their archive and meeting room and is designed
in collaboration with architects Greg Epps and Samson Adjei.
Participating artists have been invited to use
the space to develop their practice and to connect with local networks,
transforming the ACF into their base and working space. Together with
their guests, B+B are investigating approaches to the translation of art
practices which reflect a specific social and political context. They
invite lively discussion and involvement from their London audiences.

I shall be taking a break from programming and organising to concentrate
on my own work, but don't be surprised if evidence of my being side-tracked,
enthused or seduced comes to light. There will also be some work to do
behind the scenes aimed at securing the ACF visual arts programme as an
artistically independent international platform for contemporary art and
realising the potential we have demonstrated since 1999.
