///////////////////////////////////////

This project consisted of an exhibition and public programme featuring artworks from private collections from the 1800s to the present day in a historic Georgian mansion in the district of Woolwich, London. These were presented along with site-specific interventions, performances and other pieces of international and London-based artists. The aim of this essentially experimental proposal was to explore various implications inherent to the tension between the ephemeral condition of site-specific and 'time-based' art beside objects from private collections, which are conventionally associated with the notion of 'permanence'.

With the collaboration of Anna Clifford, Joseph Constable, Tarini Malik, Julian Melchiorri and Ritz Wu.

With the participation of collectors Hector Audiffred, Adam Crick, Pasquale Guarracino, Katherina and Paolo Antonio Guidi, and Huma Kabakci.

Thanks to Gary Halkyard for the use of Rushgrove House.

Co-curated with Byzantia Harlow.
