PUBLICATION LAUNCH: And so it was, and so it is

Sat 01 October 3-4pm // At Turf Gallery // Free and refreshments provided

 

And so it was, and so it is‘ is the culmination of a year’s collaborative work. In the form of a large scale group installation, the 6 artists have explored the work created over the duration of this project, interlinking themes and practices to create new narratives and tales. The artists have taken over the walls, floors, and instagram of Turf Projects, submerging all aspects of the gallery’s identity into their overzealous and sensational aesthetic.

To coincide with the exhibition, the artists of ‘And so it was, and so it is’ have produced an accompanying publication. Turf will be hosting a publication launch from 3-4pm Saturday 1 October.

Join us for free refreshments and pick up a copy of this limited edition, risograph printed publication which explores the fantastical story of ‘And so it was, and so it is’.

——
The exhibition and events were made possible with the generous support of the Arts Council England & Centrale Shopping Centre, Croydon.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
