BARBARA STEVENI: I FIND MYSELF

BARBARA STEVENI: I FIND MYSELF AT MODERN ART OXFORD

1 March–8 June 2025

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.

Eloise Hawser

Eloise Hawser Residency Announcement

Autumn 2024–Spring 2025

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.
About

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.
