Desktop Residency - Almost a year of rectangles

Almost a year of rectangles
As part of Art Licks Weekend 2013 Desktop Residency presented Almost a year of rectangles at The Peckham Pelican.

The exhibition focused on a series of short, informal interviews between the curators and each of the artists who had previously contributed to Desktop Residency. Each interview was displayed as a single piece of A4 paper.

Alongside these interviews were objects taken from the works that each of the artists had made for their Desktop Residency as well as artworks from the same series as the desktops. These objects are the physical presence of artworks that otherwise exist only digitally.

Artists:
Clémence de la Tour du Pin, Simon Boase, Joseph Buckley, Ryan Gander, Sean Roy Parker, Frances Malthouse, Nicola Guy, Harry Meadley, Lucia Quevedo, Sam Derounian, Vida Guzmic, Paul Kneale.
