Into the Fold, Camberwell

The second iteration of Camberwell Press’ bi-annual event ran across four weeks within the Camberwell College of Arts. A street-fronting space was reworked to form a flexible area capable of hosting studio activity, workshops, panel discussions and a culminating exhibition.

The practice designed furniture to be light and reconfigurable with an undulating ribbon of chalkboard and pentagonal tables emulating the ad hoc informal arrangement of a studio. Their ability to shift and tessellate offered a second formal crystallisation as gallery.

Materials were selected that would support the production of a palimpsest of activity as the event progressed, with the chalkboard tables bearing the scribed marks of preceding workshops and the wall panelling the pinned imagery and texts of another.
