Abstract

During this timely residency by OFF GRID on ONCA barge, seven artists focused on water as a channel connecting the physical, the metaphorical and its relationship to survival. The proximity to water at the site of ONCA tied the location of the residency and the resulting exhibition to its core concerns. Water flows through current times, affecting communities and the individual. The recent drought is a reminder of its importance. OFF GRID collective comprises Madi Acharya-Baskerville, Emma Elliott, Robert Good, Susie Olczak, Caroline Wendling, Ian Wolter and B.A. Zanditon. The artists have separate practices and diverse ways of working and used the subject of water as a way to connect and work collaboratively. This residency was a development from dialogues that took place on a canal boat on Regent’s Canal in May 2022. This was the first IRL meeting between the artists who formed an online collective during lockdown.
