INHABIT.

Part-residency, part-performance, part-participant piece, Inhabit is the latest project from Bristol-based artist, Beth Kirby.

Taking place at 17 Midland Road, Bristol over one week, the artist will inhabit the gallery space as a studio and workplace, continually filling the surfaces of the gallery with work with her subject being the inhabitants of Bristol.

A roster of professional life models and volunteer members of the public will join the artist in the space throughout the week, being drawn from life, where the sketches will go on to bear new life as developing pieces as the week progresses, with the previously empty walls filling with life.

Throughout the week, the Beth Kirby will be viewable through the windows of the closed gallery, creating and installing each piece as it comes, culminating in an exhibition on Saturday the 12th and Sunday 13th October.

Location: 17 Midland Road Gallery, Bristol
Residency/Performance: October 7-11th 2024.
Exhibition: October 12th & 13th, 2024.
