Bloc Projects is delighted to present Art is Ours, Mine and Yours!, the first major solo presentation by the parent-child artist duo Assunta and Lou Art Club.
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Assunta's home studio became a space for both art and childcare at once. Unable to work independently, she began making with Lou, then four years old, using a household scanner and printer alongside professional art materials. Their drawings evolved through layering interventions and soon, at Lou's suggestion, Assunta and Lou began inviting other children and parents/carers to also make art alongside them under the banner of an art club. The works in the exhibition - which runs from 23rd May to 13th June - include pieces made by Assunta and Lou alongside works made with other children and parents/carers in their workshops.
Accompanying the exhibition are a series of family-inclusive events that will take place during the May half-term. Join Bloc for:
3 facilitated workshops at the gallery during the May half-term (Tues 26 May; Thu 28 May; Fri 29 May)
Making Space for Children and Art on Wed 27 May: a 1-day symposium organised in partnership with the Art Working Parents Alliance and hosted by Millennium Gallery. Details coming soon!
