Take Over 2024
Take Over is SAW’s annual programme showcasing emerging artists, as part of our commitment to support up and coming talent. In 2024 we hosted three unique exhibitions:
As part of their shows, each of the artists will led a public SAW Reflects event – a chance to come and discuss the exhibition further over a bowl of soup.
| Revalued // Octavia Hands 31 JAN – 14 FEB 2024 Why do objects and items lose their material value the more they show signs of ageing and being worn out? Revalued explores what misplaced, broken, and discarded objects can reveal about our own attitudes, and whether stories are being erased for the sake of looking new. |
| Founding // Liam Aldridge, Bethan Harris, Maura Hawkes, Anna Mud & Lucy Thomas 21 FEB – 6 MAR 2024 Founding showcases the work of five artists based in Newcastle Upon Tyne who work with found objects and foraged natural materials. The artists explore how this approach allows for affordable and environmentally conscious ways of making. |
| Close But No Varz // Lucy Turner 13 MAR – 27 MAR 2024 Close But No Varz is a project exploring how the pressure of being a working class artist can turn passion into obsession. What happens when a vase no longer works as a vase? What happens when an artist no longer works as an “artist”? |
