"Inviting nearly 50 contributors from different generations and across a variety of creative disciplines to take part, the brief was simple: submit a single item pinned, taped or otherwise affixed to the wall that has shaped their thinking in recent months. Together forming a collective studio wall of sorts, there are sketches, references and hurried notes-to-self from Tracey Emin, Michael Armitage, Christian Marclay, Paul Simonon, Francesco Risso, Claire Keegan, Bella Freud, Harland Miller, Talia Byre and Amanda Harlech, to name just a few."
"I'm lucky enough that I get to see this side of artists' worlds often in fact, studio visits are one of my favourite aspects of Incubator, she tells AnOther. It's an intimate and vulnerable space for the artist to invite an outsider into. I find there's something precious in revealing what shapes an artist's thinking, whether it's a reference image, colour swatch, sketch, postcard test print, note to self, or any small artefact."
An Incubator exhibition in London assembles nearly 50 contributors from multiple generations and creative disciplines to display a single studio item that shaped their recent thinking. The submissions are affixed to the wall, forming a collective studio wall that includes sketches, reference images and hurried notes-to-self from artists and cultural figures such as Tracey Emin, Michael Armitage, Christian Marclay, Paul Simonon and Amanda Harlech. The show shifts emphasis from finished works to the private processes, planning and personal references that precede completion. Founder Angelica Jopling values studio visits as intimate, vulnerable moments that reveal what shapes artistic thinking. Incubator began four years ago with ephemeral student shows and now champions emerging talent from its permanent Chiltern Street space.
