27 June–3 August 2025

Preview: Thursday 26 June 6–9pm

In-conversation with the artist: Thursday 17 July 6.30pm Free, booking essential to book please email [email protected]

Flat Time House and Knotenpunkt are pleased to present an ambitious solo exhibition by UK based artist Eloise Hawser. Following a 6-month residency supported by Knotenpunkt, Hawser has developed a new body of work responding to the context of Flat Time House. Drawing from her longstanding interest in the shifting materiality of modern life, Civil Twilight explores media in transition, specifically newspapers, and how they’re encountered in public space.

ELOISE HAWSER IN-CONVERSATION

Thursday 17 July 6.30pm, in-conversation begins 7pm sharp

To coincide with the artist's current exhibition, Civil Twilight (27 June–3 August 2025), Eloise Hawser will be in conversation with Flat Time House Curator/Director, Gareth Bell-Jones.

In this conversation Hawser will discuss the themes within the exhibition including: the changing means and mechanics of recording and documenting the passing of time and the day's events and the intersection of the two. We will discuss the making of her durational video work Clock Time inside a clock overlooking the Royal Exchange and Bank of England, her conversations at the same location with the Evening Standard distribution team on the final day of distribution, details of her making process and practice drawn from specific contexts and processes, her work Press Tracker an experimental archive exploring British newspapers over 500 days of lockdown and her commission for Modern Art Oxford working with Barbara Steveni's personal collection of newspapers.

About

Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture, naming it FTHo after his theory of time, ‘Flat Time’. Until his death, Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as a gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance. It also provides a centre for alternative learning, which includes the John Latham archive, and an artist's residency space.

Open by appointment at other times. To view work by John Latham or to visit the John Latham Archive between exhibitions and events, please email [email protected] or call 02072074845 to arrange an appointment.

KATIE SHANNON CHELSEA ARTS CLUB TRUST RESIDENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Summer 2025

Chelsea Arts Club Trust award recipient Katie Shannon will be in residence at Flat Time House this summer. This is the first-ever residency at Flat Time House for a Chelsea Arts Club Trust awardee, an opportunity for a recent graduate artist to engage with Flat Time House as a space for dialogue and experimentation.

Katie Shannon is an artist based between Glasgow and London, working across drawing, installation, printmaking, textiles, writing, performance, curation, music and collaborative formats. Her practice centres on the event as medium, exploring temporalities, collective intimacy, and states of energetic unrest. Rooted in a socialist, feminist, and materially led approach, her work navigates themes of class, sociality, and counter-culture, using repurposed or ‘low’ materials, laborious processes, and printmaking as means of dissemination to propose alternative economies of making and meaning.
