Throughout the Guild Programme we are highlighting some of the current artist-led practices and interventions across the country. These sessions aim to provoke a dialogue with our community to explore key questions and help establish a new artist-led agenda for Northampton. For this second Guild event, we are delighted to welcome artist Mat Jenner and curator Ben Urban to present on their respective practice, programmes, and spaces in SE London (TACO!) and Bexhill on Sea (Flatland Projects). The presentations will be followed by a Q+A and discussion. Bios: Mat Jenner is an artist who works in art making, curating, studios, and institutions. He has exhibited nationally and internationally. In 2017, he established TACO! An artist-led space in SE London that is engaged with its local context, centres artist practices in the way it works and grows, and supports a dialogue between artists, audiences, community, and place. Mat has previously held leadership roles at a range of arts organisations, including Studio Voltaire, Forma, Grand Union and SPACE. Ben Urban is a curator and cultural worker based in Hastings, where he was born. He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths University of London, and later studied for his research degree at the University of Kent, specialising in Disability access in cultural, leisure and sporting environments. Currently, he works as the Director and Co-founder of Flatland Projects, an arts organisation focused on artistic development and the commissioning of national and international artists’ first institutional exhibitions. He is also the lead, and member of the founding steering group of Beeching Road Studios, a brand-new facility focused on artistic production, studio space, and viable career pathways for artists and creatives of East Sussex. As a curator he has worked on significant curatorial projects including artists such as Tarek Lakhrissi, Harmeet Rahal, Lucy Evetts, Alison Wilding, Florence Peake, Madeleine Pledge, Martyn Cross, plus many more.
