The project
About the exhibition
The Modern Language Experiment presented its current projects and work at Sluice Art Fair, an exhibition space and platform for discussion and creation. Its open layout supported expansive installations, performances and screenings alongside a programme of panel discussions, art-making activities for children and young people, and artist-publishing bookstands.
Focusing primarily, though not solely, on artist-run not-for-profit spaces, Sluice sought to provide an informal and accessible temporary platform for young galleries and project spaces to exhibit artists’ work, gain exposure and encourage dialogue between artists, curators and audiences.
Located in central London near Bond Street, the free weekend fair acted as a punctuation point during London Art Fair week. Sluice was organised by London-based artist Karl England and curator Ben Street.
TMLE showed the latest version of What is an Art Book? alongside audio and video from its earlier talks.
Participating projects, groups and galleries: alisn, Aid & Abet, A Plan Projects, Banner Repeater, Filmarmalade, Fordham Gallery, George and Jorgen, The Ledge Project, The Mews Project, rong-wong, Space In Between, studio 1.1, Theodore:Art and Transition Gallery.
