Hearing Voices, Seeing Things
To 15 October 2006
Hearing Voices Seeing Things was a year-long, integrated art programme run in collaboration with NELMHT, its service users and other partners consisting of a number of interconnected elements: artists’ residencies, artist-led group activities, temporary events and commissions.
The Serpentine Gallery invited Jessica Voorsanger and Bob & Roberta Smith, who run the Leytonstone Center of Contemporary Art, as artists-in-residence for North-East London Mental Heath Trust. The Leytonstone Centre for Contemporary Art is a purpose built gallery located in the back garden of their garden. In association with the Serpentine Gallery, Voorsanger and Smith formed artists’ group called ‘LOG’ (Leytonstone Centre for Contemporary Art Outreach Group) with artists Mel Brimfield, Karen Densham, Mandy Lee Jandrell, Andy Lawson, Victor Mount and Sally O’Reilly.
LOG held seven interactive projects, each inviting service users from North-East London Mental Health to collaborate with artists to create new work. The work was exhibited in the LCCA’s satellite gallery, ‘The LCCA at the Serpentine’, and the launch included a public stand-up comedy event What’s So Funny? by Jessica Voorsanger.
An exhibition was open to the public at the Leytonstone Center of Contemporary Art (LCCA) on site at the Serpentine Gallery. A fully-illustrated publication accompanies this project.
