On the Edgware Road makes public three years of research generated by the Serpentine's
Edgware Road
Project. The exhibition includes installations, films and performances, both at the Serpentine Gallery and at the
Centre for Possible Studies, the Project's home. The exhibition allows visitors to experience the findings of the artists and local partners involved in the Project and highlights future programmes that will unfold throughout the next year.
The Edgware Road Project links artists with people living and working in this London neighbourhood. The diversity of the local people and their interests are reflected by the varying practices and geographies of the artists invited to take up residency at the Centre for Possible Studies. Their responses have been political, reflexive and revealing. An accompanying publication will mark this moment in the Project's development with descriptions and propositions for the future, answering the question 'What is a possible study?'.
The Edgware Road Project was initiated and curated by Sally Tallant with Janna Graham and Louise Coysh, in partnership with Christine Tohme and William Wells. Assistant Curator: Amal Khalaf. Project Advisor: Nav Haq.
