studio1.1
2011 artist-in-residence will end his tenure with a pop-up exhibition
showcasing work made during the year, satirically echoing the retail
opportunities prevalent in the most fashionable street in London (sic(k)). In
an attack on E2 modishness, there will also be a sale of secondhand books.

On
most Mondays and Tuesdays once an exhibition has opened in the gallery, Joshua
is on hand to use the space as his open studio, working and inviting visitors
to watch him at work. For the next few days there will be an extension of that
project, when he'll be in the gallery from Wednesday to Sunday, during opening
hours, with a wider selection of work; a pop-up show.
Joshua’s
work crosses and re-crosses boundaries of public and private, and forms a
perfect counterpart to our position in/outside the shifting art world/market
where what is a dissenting voice one minute becomes a designated cutting-edge
must-have commodity the next.
This
can be an uncomfortable place and Josh recognises that we must all bear
responsibility for wherever we situate ourselves along the spectrum of comfort
and outrage. That Josh’s work, beautifully crafted and defiantly object- and
outrage-based, can simultaneously offend and delight the same sensibility at
the same time seemed to us a perfect choice for our Artist in Residence 2011.
