Chelsea College of Arts MA Curating and Collections Degree Show 2019

About

After a period of archival research at Flat Time House, Chelsea’s MA Curating and Collections students will present an exhibition at Chelsea Space that explores the complexity and importance of John Latham’s ideas and work, under the guidance of, and in collaboration with, Gareth Bell-Jones, Curator and Director of Flat Time House.

John Latham (1921–2006) was a Chelsea graduate and a pioneer of British conceptual art. He viewed artworks as events and used painting, sculpture, performance, assemblage, film and installation to explore his ideas. 

From 1983 he lived and worked in Flat Time House in Peckham, and maintained an open door policy for anyone interested in art. In 2008, two years after his death, the house was opened as a gallery and centre for alternative learning, which includes the John Latham archive and an artist’s residency space. His work is held in collections around the world including Tate and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
