BACKLIT is celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a new exhibition which reviews the journey of the organisation an artist led space.
About
BACKLIT is celebrating its 10 year anniversary with exhibition Same as it Never Was which plays off the well known Talking Heads song ‘Once in Lifetime’ from 1981 about the unconscious; in which we operate in autopilot and rarely stop to ask ourselves, ‘How did I get here?’. The exhibition reviews the journey of the organisation over the last decade with new commissions by founding director Matthew Chesney, and current studio members Chloe Langlois, Demi Overton, Craig David Parr, Martin Rayment, Jenna Round, Lois Gardner Sabet and K Webborn / fourbeatwalk.The 10 year anniversary will provide an opportunity for organisational reflection to uncover creative processes, artistic collaborations, alongside the organisation’s successes, power dynamics and misfortunes. This space between individual and collective memory will subsequently form part of a publication and an artist led archive.
As part of the launch BACKLIT will have Open Studios for a opportunity to meet our studio members and get involved with the creative community.
