MAW (Middlesbrough Art Weekender) 2022 saw Navigator North rounding up studio holders for a group exhibition.
We were all happy to do this, as it gave us the chance to paint walls white, and engage with the public. Our two favourite things
Our shared studio recently suffered a small infestation of flies – the name of the group exhibition, and poster image, reflected this.
We were all allocated space, and (along with my virtual art project) I thought it might also be fun to decorate the space to look like my studio, and then sit there and paint all weekend.
I took a rug and my emotional support plant.
It was quite good actually – people, especially children, seemed to really enjoy watching painting. I think it’s important for artists to be present at exhibitions and account for themselves and their actions.
