About
Three artists, Katia Kesic, Iulia Filipovscaia and Charlie Hawksfield are approaching the quote by French philosopher P. T. de Chardin "...‘Every spirit derives its reality and nature from a particular type of universal synthesis. There is neither spirit nor matter in the world; the stuff of the universe is spirit-matter." From different standpoints: holistic, cultural and experiential artists are examining their own identity, how it was formed, how it can be understood and how it can be portrayed as Stuff of the Universe today in various mediums.
The Artesian Wells was formally owned by sculptor Rudy Weller. It is full of its own curious and character, including stain glass freezes, murals, figurative sculptures and a glass dance floor.
This corner of London, formally a cluster of hedonistic bars and clubs, including Mist on the Rocks, The Artesian Well and The Lost Society was left to ruin, now artists, musicians and other creatives are using the space to showcase their work. 'Stuff of the Universe' will be the fourth such show and the first to be exclusively residence of the space. Many more will follow.
