Join us at JPE Design Studio to celebrate Matthew Fortrose’s exhibition launch Safety Measures, as the inaugural JPE Art in Residence recipient.
Matthew Fortrose has been involved in project conversations, research and collaborative opportunities at JPE, contributing to the creative process. Exploring concepts of safety and structures Fortrose combines concrete and EPDM rubber into soft and hard surfaces which examine the limitations they present and the archival qualities, both outdoor and as indoor artworks, to question the perceived safety, reliance and trust put in the materials.
This residency opportunity sees two artists a year in a creative exchange within the JPE studios, culminating in a work or installation presented during SALA and Fringe.
JPE Design Studio has been a place where emerging artists can exhibit, engage with studio culture and have an impact on design thinking since 2013. The JPE Art in Residence program marks a new chapter of creative exchange in collaboration with Guildhouse.
