Spacetime: awkward;-) is a collaborative project by the Blackwater Polytechnic and the Grange Projects that responds to an increasingly accelerated and unstable world by building together slowly, with finely tuned labour and joyful imperfection. The stand is conceived as a single breathing environment where materials refuse slick certainty, trading polish for presence and patiently layering meaning.
Here, slowness functions as a constructive difficulty. Visitors are invited to linger, to spend time with the work and to work things out. Feel the weight and warmth of the process. The discomfort opens dialogue. Slow the making, slow the looking, deepen the exchange, howl louder disobedience – dig in your heels – refuse.
Artists collaborating: Ben Coode-Adams, Freddie Robins, Nicola Streeten, John Plowman, Sally Plowman, Cailin Cummins, Tilly Hawkins, Sophie Giller, Sara Impey and Justin Knopp.
