Arbeit Studios Artist in Residence announced

Arbeit Studios, Palmers Green are excited to announce Harriette as their fourth artist in residence as part of the High Street Happenings Residency Programme.

Harriette's practice incorporates sound, installation, drawing, printmaking, performance and photography. With a socially engaged practice, themes such as gentrification and community run through her work. She has shown work in a range of traditional and non-traditional spaces such as Tate Modern and an east London garage.

The proposal is to realise new, site specific work based on the shops in Palmers Green and the people that run and frequent them. An initial aim is to work with local shopkeepers to explore the outside and inside of their shops, with particular emphasis on the threshold, and what makes people go in, or not. The focus is not re-imagining the high street per se, but better understanding, and appreciating, what is already there, including the typically unseen, and to create alternative narratives of familiar spaces.

As part of the residency Harriette will run free community workshops, with more information to follow.

The Final Exhibition will run from Friday 29th November to Sunday 15th December 2024.
