Oikos Logos
Collabrative Project with Hannah Rowan, Gregory Herbert and Matthew Verdon
Curated by William Noel Clarke
The term ecology derives itself from the Greek words Oikos (household) and Logos (study), translating as ‘the study of the household’. Oikos Logos has activated Enclave Lab as a festivalistic laboratory departing from the traditional static exhibition structure and instead favouring real-time testing of theory with practice in a residency environment. The festivalistic Laboratory, as a curatorial methodology, is alternative to spectacle by encouraging participation and play to create edutainment value whilst promoting non-violence towards all living things through self-management, coexistence and co- survival. Split into two parts, Enclave Lab has first become a laboratory, in which the artists have taken residence for the past 3 weeks, and secondly an exhibition space where there aren’t singular works, but instead a mapping of an idea.
