In Residence' brings together a group of artists who have all undertaken a residency at Griffin Gallery in the past two years. Although they each have distinct practices and varying styles and concerns, they are unified in their quest for further exploration and questions into the nature of paint as a material, and through these enquiries have found themselves at Griffin Gallery working with Laboratory technicians to get closer to the answers they seek. ARTISTS: Ayelet Amrani Navon, Corrie Baldauf, Mike Ballard, Jean Charles Bureau, Mark Connolly, Adam Dix, Louise Giovanelli, Beatrice Haines, Sam Hodge, Yva Jung, Antoine Langenieux-Villard, Joanne Newman, Claire Nicolet, Jack Otway, Thomas Platt, Piers Secunda, Odilia Suanzes, José Luis Valverde ___________________ #london #unitedkingdom #artistresidency #painting #sculpture #intallationart #inprogress #openstudio #griffingallery #contemporaryart #thegarden #ayeletamraninavon #CorrieBaldauf #MikeBallard #JeanCharlesBureau #MarkConnolly #AdamDix #LouiseGiovanelli #BeatriceHaines #SamHodge #YvaJung #AntoineLangenieuxVillard #JoanneNewman #ClaireNicolet #JackOtway #ThomasPlatt #PiersSecunda #OdiliaSuanzes #JoseLuisValverde (en Griffin Gallery)

He's not wearing a suit; I'm a little surprised because I always picture him wearing a suit and tie, in a windsor knot, when I hear him on the radio.

I sit behind these two lovely people, waiting for my turn behind the mic. These are the folks, behind the curtain, working the levers of the Great and Powerful Oz.

He pulls off the two finger point like a rockstar. I have no idea what he is pointing at—it must be a radio thing—but I have to snap a photo.

Her eyes bounce from screen to screen and board to board. Her hands move like a pianist's across the switches and dials in front of her.
