Study Room Gatherings and Artists Groups

 

Artists groups use this space in an informal manner for monthly meetings and the space offers the group the opportunity to draw upon the resources from the Study Room for discussion in relation to their practice within these peer-to-peer support networks.

 

Study Room Artists Group Statement

We are a group of artists who meet once a month to talk about art/practice. Each month one of us agrees to chair/curate the meeting. This involves putting out a call for agenda items and creating a schedule of things to discuss/do/watch in the meeting. Sometimes we share work-in-progress, sometimes we watch a dvd from the Agency Study Room, other times we talk more generally about a concept or idea. Overall the group enables us to gain useful feedback about our working ideas and ongoing projects whilst also providing an encouraging, friendly environment where we can share experiences, pool resources and ask for help from each other when necessary.
Current members are Michelle Bloom, Helena Bryant, Amanda Couch, Amy Sharrocks, Rachel Gomme, Sheila Ghelani, Tessa Wills.

 

ArtClub Statement

Rebecca French, Sheila Ghelani and Amy Sharrocks run ArtClub, an ad-hoc, irregular but hopefully fairly frequent gathering together of people who like Art and want to talk about it. We might invite artists to come along and talk about their work. We might go to see shows together. We might go on studio visits. We might help each other out with feedback or advice. Different guests are invited each time. Occasionally, our meetings take place in the Study Room. This provides a neutral but creative meeting space that also allows us to draw on the archive for context and ideas.
