Clutter

curated by Anna-maria amato

6 Sugar House Lane, London, E15 2QS

PV: Thursday, 6th March, 6 – 9pm
Open: 7th March – 12th April 2025

 

CLUTTER is an exhibition of multimedia works by eighteen artists, curated by Anna-Maria Amato. 

The group-show presents artworks that explore the emotional and psychological dimensions of clutter and investigate the impact it has on our lives and society at large.

The exhibition will highlight different perspectives on the significance of clutter in our daily lives such as our emotional attachment to objects and cycles of accumulation and decluttering. Artists will be exploring the impact of our surrounding multiple environments on our life experiences. We see mounds of materials, landscapes of waste and we endure over-sensory experiences. We attempt to archive our lives’ possessions, creating new habits to hoard and collect the objects we acquire.

 Join us for our exhibition and programme of workshops and performances, where we will be instigating activities, conversations and explorations based on the theme of clutter, with artworks, installations and events.

Public Programme

Each participating artist has proposed an event aside from the exhibition opening, to engage the public. These include: a collage making workshop using found materials, a workshop imagining an ideal living space and objects to let go of- what they mean and writing a visual story about where they could go, creating sculptures by re-using discarded sculptures and a workshop exploring collections or ‘clutter’ of stories which form our identity with which participants will create a sound collage.
