Standpoint Residency Presentation
Standpoint - Residency Studio
Exhibition: 28 October 2021
Standpoint presented an open studio event with Liam Fallon to celebrate the end of his residency at Standpoint. Liam presented a number of new works created during his residency and gave a short talk introducing some of his current interests and ideas.
Liam’s sculptural practice focuses on the exploration of queer culture and the way that materials contribute to this exploration. The binary of private and public marks a particular point of interest for Fallon, more recently looking into the familiar relationship framework of falling in love and suffering loss, occurrences that are at once unfolding in the public realm, whilst at the same time remaining an enigmatically private affair.
Standpoint residencies facilitate artist development and enable the production of new work in a supportive environment, encouraging artistic exchange and collective working. The 6 week residencies are designed to be flexible and responsive to the project, needs and desired outcomes of individual participants.
