WEEKENDER

WEEKENDER is designed to offer a realistic option for artists who have full time jobs, children, and other obligations and responsibilities that normally make residencies problematic. WEEKENDER is a non - productive residency with an emphasis on the social.

CAZ invited emergent London based artist Sam Curtis to launch its WEEKENDER residency programme

19th July 7pm - Sam hosted an informal presentation about his work at *the CAZ project space
20th July 11am – 3pm - Sam worked with fishmonger Steve to make some fish displays in the Fish Boutique, Wharfside, Wharf Road, Penzance

Sam Curtis uses a combination of video, performance and text to explore the boundaries between art and the 'real' world of work, and between the artist and the non-artist. He focuses on anything that might not be ‘worthy’ of our attention. Sam has spent time as a fishmonger, a door-to-door salesman, a call centre agent, a labourer, a pot washer, a sandwich maker, a doorman and an auctioneer’s assistant. These experiences continue to shape and inform his practice.
