Artists Lunchtime Crit: Led by Magnus Ayers

 

Sat 28 May, 12-2pm // At Turf Gallery // Free & refreshments provided

 

May’s crit will be led by Can I help you? artist Magnus Ayers. Magnus lives and works in London, and is currently a studio holder at Turf Projects. He graduated from BA Fine Art Goldsmiths (2011- 2014). View Magnus’ work online at magnusayers.blogspot.co.uk & turf-projects.com/magnus-ayers

 

Our open lunchtime crits take place every last Saturday of the month, with each session led by a practicing artist alongside participants who will take turns to discuss their work with the group. Participation is not mandatory, you can simply come and view the works and take part in the discussions, but if you’d like to participate in showing your artwork, please send imagery of or link to the work you wish to show in the crit to alice@turf-projects.com (with any requirements for AV equipment and/or install instructions!)

 

// FEEDBACK FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS:

“The lunchtime crit at Turf was a real pleasure to be a part of. The space and attendees promoted a comfortable space that personally benefited me by provoking honesty and allowing pressing critique of one another’s works, it’s a safe space to get feedback and engage with a variety of practises with a variety of artists at different stages in their careers, or studies. I will certainly be attending more in the future.”

// Jess Bryant

“I found it helpful and useful to meet with other Artists from around London whose work I wasn’t previously familiar with. Turf Projects seems to attract a really interesting mix of practitioners across a variety of disciplines, who are open to discussion, debate and the exchange of knowledge and experience”

// Ben Wesley Clarke
