‘How Everything Turns’ - with Nicholas Middleton

“Developed in partnership with We Are The Minories, Sluice [Vernacular] Colchester 2024 will feature exhibitions, performances, screenings and talks throughout Colchester town centre utilising cultural, municipal, and unoccupied commercial sites. Sluice 2024 is an aggregation of artist and curator-led and non-profit organisations and initiatives.” More information on Sluice

Responding to the brief - with some thinking around the idea of the Temporary Autonomous Zone, we proposed an exhibition space for people to come together to engage in an opportunity for slow thinking and absorption. We will look at the potential of engagement with archives - through imagery or texts that enable people to find ways to develop creativity, break out of particular patterns and find new ideas. We will look to create a space that offers people the opportunity to listen, watch and play.
