STATEMENT

We construct identities, roles and places in order to locate ourselves, and to create the illusion of stability, but we encounter the world around us transitively. With the increased pace of life and apparent ease of global travel, are we all simply becoming tourists, and if so, how can a dialogue with the local and the seemingly every day be encouraged? Exploring notions of ‘place’, our many and varied relationships with space, and the objects we surround ourselves with, Victoria Foster investigates how art can influence and encourage the viewer to engage with their surroundings.

Hugging for the English was a group exhibition located at Substation, Margate. The exhibition aimed to transcend the boundaries between viewer and artwork to the extent that without the viewer, much of the works would remain incomplete. Many of the works and events were inspired by various different influences from within the town itself. Whilst it was situated in present-day Margate, the past was not forgotten.
