2 SITE FESTIVAL 2018 Welcome
A warm welcome to Open Studios 2018
It’s hard to say exactly why I enjoy visiting artists’ studios so much. Obviously I’m hoping for something to rub off. But then there’s the journey to get there, the discovery of new lanes and strangely obscure backwaters, which is like a little pilgrimage to a shrine.
I think probably my favourite studios include Cézanne’s in Aix where you can see scattered around all the objects familiar from the still lifes. That funny little cherub. Zadkine’s studio in Paris, Morandi’s little flat in Bologna, Paul Grellier’s ironwork barn one summer up in Bisley. It’s something about personality, too. Books on shelves. Kitchen utensils. The view from the garden. Aimee Lax, SVA studio artist, photo Nigel Noyes
Open Studios is a great way to And, finally, you can put William Morris’s golden rule to the test: Have meet artists, find out more about nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to the ideas behind their work and the be beautiful. techniques they use. Don’t forget, you can buy art works directly from artists! SVA has been hosting Open Imagine having bought a Zadkine sculpture or a Morandi print before the Studios since 1997, starting out price went through the roof! with a handful of artists and has now expanded into one of the best rurally based Open Studio events Philip Rush, writer in the UK.

SITE FESTIVAL 2018 5 Places in Drift Valerie Van Leersum, resident artist
Valerie Van Leersum, an artist from NDSM in Amsterdam, will be our resident artist for the SITE Festival Open Studios. Valerie Van Leersum has been creating a body of work, since 2002, driven by her search for the meaning of the concept of home, and the relationship between the ground and identity. For this she uses objects, text, audio, collages and photography in order to convey her work in a fruitful and specific way. The work moves between the ‘factual’ history on one hand and the subjective experience on the other, between documentary and imaginary. In 2007 Valerie Van Leersum built her studio at the former NDSM shipyard in Amsterdam. Inspired by the ideas of artist Constant Nieuwenhuys, this yard has been turned into the largest
Valerie Van Leersum, Artist, NDSM, Amsterdam cultural breeding ground in Europe and is a place that now tries to maintain its independence within the advancing city. Under the theme of ‘Places in Drift’, Places in Drift Valerie Van Leersum will show work that is based on both the industrial and natural transitions of the NDSM wharf and Stroud. Valerie Van Leersum Artists residency, exhibition Valerie will work with artist Tara Downs, who lives in Stroud and Amsterdam, and radio project to make and transmit podcasts from Valerie’s studio at NDSM to the 4 -14 May 2018 gallery at SVA. Tara will interview artists from NDSM and other cultural places in Amsterdam as well as philosophers, anthropologists and visionaries about SVA, 4 John St, Stroud, GL5 2HA urban places in transition. Valerie will make soundpieces in response to these valerievanleersum.nl interviews. The podcasts will be available online and to listen to in the gallery.
