Staffordshire St are excited to present the group exhibition ‘Baggage Claim’ curated by independent curator Georgia Stephenson and artist-educator Rosalind Wilson, which examines the tools and burdens we carry with us.
About
A sculptural display of works presents an assortment of responses: from self-defence to coping mechanisms, compulsions or avoidances, self-medication, mantras, armour and antidotes. The works on display are vessels or vehicles for dealing with or undertaking the myriad journeys of life.
The title of the exhibition is taken from Rosalind and Georgia’s chosen method of display: a large curved plinth which references the dimensions of an airport’s baggage carousel. Categorised by ‘baggage size’, the plinth displays a variety of sculptural and video artworks by 46 artists based in London, the UK more widely and internationally.
This platform asks the viewer to consider the methods they carry with them to navigate challenging times, but equally offers an archive of potential approaches and solutions used by other creative individuals.
Artists included in the exhibition have been invited and selected from an open call; Alix Emery, Amanda Kyritsopoulou, AP Nguyen, Billy Crosby & Sian Newlove-Drew, Bo Sun, Bob Bicknell-Knight, Campbell Mcconnell, Charlotte Dawson, Cora Sehgal Cuthbert, Eleni Papazoglou, Ella Yolande, Ha Yeon Byun, Helen K Grant, iolo walker, Ilona Balaga, Irini Bachlitzanaki, Isabel Bonafe, Jemma Egan, Joa Blumenkranz, Julie Maurin, Katja Larsson, Kialy Tihngang, Laurene Bois-Mariage, Linda Zagidulina, Maria Positano, Mary Watt, Matilda Mercer, Max Petts, Michael Wall, Mike McShane, Nancy Allen, Rachel Mortlock, Richard Phoenix, Ruaidhri Ryan, Ryan Woodring, Sadie M Hennessy, Sarah Davis, Seray Ozdemir, Sophie Cunningham, Sophie Glover, Sophie Percival, Steph Francis-Shanahan, Stephen Blades, Susannah Bolton, Tulani Hlalo and Zofia Skoroszewska.
