Turpentine

Studio Voltaire, London

Studio Voltaire presents Turpentine, the first ever exhibition of work by current and past Gallery Assistants from the Serpentine Gallery.

For many years the Serpentine has provided flexible part-time employment to artists as a way of earning an income to support their practice. In the first exhibition of its kind, their work will go on show at Studio Voltaire in Clapham. Turpentine aims to highlight the wealth of art practice and debate behind the conventional face of an internationally renowned institution. Turpentine will include work in a range of media such as photography, video, painting, embroidery, sculpture, performance and artists' books.

Organised by current Gallery Assistants Joe Scotland and Laura Aldridge (also exhibitors), Turpentine will feature the work of past Gallery Assistants who are now established artists, including Anna Barriball, Jordan Baseman, Sophie Horton, Brighid Lowe, Caroline McCarthy, Alison Turnbull and Rachel Whiteread.

Julia Peyton-Jones, Director of the Serpentine Gallery said:

"Serpentine Gallery Assistants play a vital role in our Exhibition, Architecture and Education Programme. Turpentine brings together the work of Gallery Assistants past and present to celebrate the breadth and quality of their own artistic practice. I could not be more delighted by this initiative."

There will be a gallery discussion on 16 March at 2pm at Studio Voltaire, exploring the themes of the show, and the role of the artist in a cultural institution. Speakers will include Fiona Boundy, Director of Gasworks and former Serpentine Gallery Assistant, Sophie Horton, exhibiting artist, Paul O''Neill, artist and curator, London Print Studio and Darren Rhymes, artist.

Artists in Turpentine include: Laura Aldridge, Matthew John Andrew, Chloe Armitage, Anna Barriball, Jordan Baseman, Victoria Bickell, Richard Birkett, Jane Burke, Kerry Duggan, Christian Glaeser, Gonzaga, Mark Harris, Kevin Heavey, Louise Henery, Felicity Hogan, Sophie Horton, Cameron Irving, Brighid Lowe, Caroline McCarthy, The Miller and McAfee Press, Agnieszka Radzikowska, Florence Reidenbach, Anthony Silvester, Joe Scotland, Eva Stenram, Joanne Tatham and Tom O'Sullivan, Alison Turnbull, Peter Turner and Rachel Whiteread.
