 Standpoint Gallery, London, led by Denise de Cordova & Kate Davis with Emma Kelly.

Artist’s Residency, Workshops & a Public Exhibition and PV

Hung, Drawn & Quartered is a collaborative Festus project taking de Cordova’s embroidered works and Davis’ pinhole drawings as the starting point for a residency and series of events as part of the Prick and Stitch Alliance.

Hung, Drawn & Quartered is a two-week residency that culminates in an exhibition that will be open to the public later as part of the Standpoint art programme. There will be artist talks from the Standpoint community as well as invited guest speakers, workshops accessing the facilities at Standpoint which includes ceramics and direct printing, as well as the opportunity to create work within the space of the gallery and its education room.  The intention is also to produce a collaborative work for the gallery’s public facing window space.

The residency is the main focus of this Festus project and it is important that students commit to this as much as possible.  Residencies can be an important career path for artists, that provide temporary periods of time for an artist to work on a project or develop new ideas. They are time out of your usual work to develop new art and ideas where access to a shared studio or making environment provides mutual and practical support.

Hung, Drawn & Quartered expands on the Festus projects from 2021 and 2022. Prick & Stitch and Prick & Stitch, Vent and Pound were based on the notion of piercing material and matter or embellishing a range of substances through penetration and further explored the use of the written or the spoken word and materials that speak of mass. 

The intention is for everyone to produce works in response to the phrase Hung, Drawn & Quartered and its broad interpretation to interrogate their practice and to encourage an open interpretive understanding of what Hung, Drawn & Quartered might mean. 

RCA alumni will be invited to be part of the discussions and/or workshops to build a supportive network across different year groups at RCA. 

Standpoint is a community of artist practitioners, with a well-established education, residency and exhibition programme, and home to the Mark Tanner Annual Sculpture Prize. We will be working closely with Emma Kelly, curator and Administrator for the Mark Tanner Award and be able to access the on-site facilities.
