FTHo

Flat Time House is currently in-between temporary exhibitions but we are open by appointmen, Wednesday–Friday, to view the house and the permanent display of John Latham works in the front 'Mind' gallery which give an introduction to Flat Time.

Please email [email protected] or call 02072074845 to arrange a visit.

A first retrospective exhibition of Barbara Steveni’s work, co-curated by Jo Melvin and FTHo Curator/Director Gareth Bell-Jones will be presented at Modern Art Oxford in 2025.

Pioneering and influential, Barbara Steveni worked outside the art gallery to create artworks that were multi-disciplinary and research based, often taking place without participants realising. I Find Myself brings her multi-faceted practice together for the first time to uncover a unique perspective and life.

With a career spanning seventy years, Steveni was influential on artists of many different generations. As part of I Find Myself some of her key collaborators and those influenced by her career will create new commissions restaging and responding to her work including Laure Prouvost, Anne Bean and Eloise Hawser.

Flat Time House is pleased to announce that artist Eloise Hawser will be undertaking a studio residency at Flat Time House in partnership with Knotenpunkt. The residency will culminate in a solo exhibition at FTHo in 2025, in addition to a new commission to be presented as part of I Find Myself, a Barbara Steveni retrospective upcoming at Modern Art Oxford. Drawing from her longstanding interest in the materiality of modern life, Eloise has been invited to undertake original research into Barbara Steveni's collection of studio materials – specifically over a decade's worth of newspapers – with a focus on Barbara's home-studio in Anstey Road Peckham as a site of artistic production, conversation, and reflection on past endeavours.

Flat Time House are pleased to announce that Elisabeth Del Prete will be undertaking an AHRC-funded PhD at Birmingham City University, working in partnership with Eastside Projects and FTHo to examine how are the ideas and models developed by Artist Placement Group (APG) (1966-89) are both relevant today, and to future possibilities for the role of artists in society. 

Elisabeth’s research will evaluate contemporary experimental art projects, exploring how principles of regenerative design can generate new understandings of the impact of APG’s approach. Drawing on regenerative design as a method that acknowledges the interconnectedness and co-evolving nature of living systems (social, political, economic and natural), the research will ask how APG's motto “context is half the work” can be expanded upon to evaluate contemporary reworkings and inform future modes of creative practice.

Participating artists: Nancy Clayton, Ntiense Eno-Amooquaye, Nick Fenn, Christian Ovonlen, Andre Williams, Dawn Wilson, Clifton Wright

Launched in the summer of 2023 What Time is Love? is an ongoing programme of conversations with artists from the Intoart Studio hosted by Flat Time House. What Time is Love? invites the group of seven artists to use Flat Time House as a space to reflect, talk about their practice and think about where they want to go next.
