CAMP

Environmentally, politically, and culturally; we are being confronted with the precarious nature of our existence and a need for change more than ever. From political divides and war, to global pandemics and the climate emergency, the delicate balance of the status quo is being pulled into ever sharper focus over the past few years, and whilst the world feels it’s becoming more and more polarised, our norm is becoming increasingly scrutinised. Do we attempt to preserve what was, or disrupt existing systems?

As always, artists are at the forefront of societal reaction to cultural phenomena and themes of balance and imbalance, permanence and ephemerality, chance and provocation provide new ways of exploring the tipping points that we face, as we head into 2023.

In this small group exhibition, curated by Laura Porter and Richard Gregory at Studio KIND, CAMP members were invited to respond to some of these challenges, no matter how big or small, in this exciting new collaboration.
