TOIL & TROUBLE (VOLUME I / APT GALLERY

  • Drawing Room Unit 1B New Tannery Way London, England, SE1 United Kingdom (map)

Please join us for the official launch of our first publication. More than three years after the initial 'experiment' at APT, it has definitely been a labour of love, so we’re more than ready to celebrate the result.

No speeches, no readings – it’s really not that sort of book – just an opportunity for relaxed conversation about the project with the authors and (some) contributors.

There will also be a video preview of the next publication, which documents our collaboration with Anna Fairchild, and Lincoln-based artist collective General Practice. (Lincoln Arts Centre Gallery, February 2025)

AUTHORS / PROJECT LEADS: Lucy Renton & Sue Withers
CONTRIBUTORS: Ali Darke, Eric Great-Rex, Andrew Bracey, Andrew Moller & Rob Flint

Toil & Trouble: How We Find Out Who We Are (Volume I / APT Gallery)
This publication concludes the first iteration of our artist-led curatorial project which considers the exhibition as a site of research, and collaboration as a method to explore how meaning is constructed. It comprehensively documents the initial ‘experiment’ at APT (London, 2022) and includes photographs of the exhibition by Andrew Moller, a reflective essay by Andrew Bracey (the chair of our public discussion) and a specially commissioned artwork by Rob Flint – ‘Is An Artist’. All copies available at the launch will include a special poster edition of this found text artwork.

BOOK LAUNCH, SATURDAY 18 APRIL, 2026. 14.00-16.30
