Deconstruct, clean and build up

Group exhibition, 2025

‘Deconstruct, clean and build up - Hesterfied Open Studios’ started with the aim, not only to clean up and renovate our studios for next year, but to extend our assessment presentations and open them to the public.

The assessments are that moment at the end of each semester when we have to show in 30 minutes the projects/work/progress that we have been working on the past months to a group of tutors. After it, we are required to build down, to let other students to present their work. We found this dynamic quite underwhelming, so we decided to open our exhibit to the public in inspiration of a classic Summer Show/Open Studios that are held in different art schools and postgraduate institutions across the Europe. This exhibition is part of the Collectivity Projects at BEAR Fine Arts program.
