GROWlab is an experiment...

              experiment in growing…

                                              growing to see what emerges, when…

​

                                                                                           when what happens if:

                                                                                                                                    Growth is free

​

                                                                                                                                                                   Growth is curbed

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Growth is pushed

                                                                                                                                                 Growth is framed

​

​

​

                                                                                                          Growth is stopped

The artists in General Practice will spend a year with experimenting in seeing what happens when you approach growing as a creative medium. Friends - both existing and yet to be made - will also input into GROWlab in as yet unknown ways, a programme to be made through conversation, through doing and thinking-making.  The formerly male toilets will shift from their current use as a store to be converted to GROWlab. Curiosity is the only pejorative, no outcomes or outputs are expected, only the drive to set things in motion.

[gP] is an artist collective living and working from Lincoln, UK. 

 

Promoting exchange with wider artist led initiatives nationally and internationally [gP] seeks to stimulate a critical discourse, and sustain an engaged visual arts culture in the city through the programming of exhibitions, events and workshops.

​

With an emphasis on a fluid and experimental approach, gP encourages a diverse range of artistic practices that are developed collectively. Within the core group of approximately 10 artists there are on-going collaborations with more specific interests such as Curio, Mulch, Angry Gang, GAST, Reel and KAC which extend into the wider artistic community, incorporating contributions from practitioners in other locales. This collaborative ethos is clearly demonstrated through our workshop practice too; continuing to encourage collective exploration of creative subjects, blurring the line between workshop facilitators and workshop attendees.

​

[gP] has begun offering a selection of events, workshops and exhibitions for 2020.

 

The calendar shows all upcoming events we have planned so far. Keep checking back for more info on what is happening next. 

​

Regular events include life drawing classes and open crits at our project studio on Clasketgate, Lincoln.
