The Jerwood Artist in Residence at the Soane programme invites artists whose work engages deeply with drawing as a conceptual, material, or procedural foundation to create new work in response to the Museum.
The historic importance of the Museum, its archive and collections are well known. What is less well known is the work the Museum does with contemporary artists and the relevance of the Museum and its collection to artists, architects and designers practicing now. The residency will enable Sir John Soane’s Museum to develop its work with contemporary practitioners, whilst complementing the broader work of the organisation. Artists have worked on various projects over the years, from producing films and zines, to creating installations, audioguides, and online resources inspired by the Soane’s collection.
Two three-month residents are hosted per year (in the Spring and the Autumn). The Drawing Office offers a unique environment to explore the past, present, and future of drawing as a critical and experimental practice, with artists encouraged to engage with activities and departments across the Museum from the library and archive to learning and commercial events.
