Art Cabinet (working title)

Atelier, Frederic de Bazille, 1870

Art Cabinet is an attempt to revive the concept of the Salons – commonly associated with the French Enlightenment period and the Parisian, Proustian Salons of the early 20th century – when the cultural intellectual elites formed circles to encourage the exchange of news and ideas and increase knowledge through conversation.

6 visual artists will be invited to host a special evening in a private house in London and regionally throughout the UK. This idea is created to promote a cross disciplinary, cross generational and topic based series where like-minded people, can think and respond to issues of contemporary concern, both political and artistic.

Art Cabinet will work as a think-tank, aiming to forge a connection among a specific group of people around a specific subject, with the purpose of understanding the concerns raised by the artist. This event will attract responses and possible proposals to be carried forward. A publication will secure the legacy of the project.

This project has been created and developed in partnership with Rose Lejeune, associate curator.
