Field Works: a Trellis exhibition

The fourth iteration of the Trellis Programme, a free exhibition that ran from 16 March - 1 April 2024 at Hoxton Hall.

Art + Community: Collaborative Commissions from Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Research.

Hoxton Hall played host to Field Works: an exhibition of six artist installations. Developed over a year, the artworks were the results of investigation, collaboration, thinking and playing between east London artists, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø researchers and communities of people in east London.

Honest and uncomfortable, Field Works probedÌýat the premise that the urban environment is a ready sphere for inequality. But what does this mean? Through their work together, the groupsÌýbegan to develop methodologies that worked towards an ultimately optimistic reading of the city. They found humour and tenderness in human connection.Ìý

Field Works was curated by Rosie Murdoch and we partnered with the amazingÌý as host forÌýthe exhibition.
