DESERTERS

About

Sarah Sparkes has been artist in residence at the Nunhead community centre for the past week making work on site along with several other artists whom she has invited to collaborate with her on the project. The centre was closed down because of an alleged contamination with legionnaires' disease and there is a feeling of sudden abandonment in the building, with the ghosts of the old community still very much in residence. The work, made on site, is a direct response to this feeling and much of it incorporates objects found at the abandoned centre.
