SWERVE ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE JULY 2024

CHARLOTTE MALIK (sculptor) and HANNAH HOARE (writer) have been invited to SWERVE’s base in Skibbereen, West Cork as our 2024 Artist- and Writer-in-Residence.

They worked together in 2023 as part of SWERVE artist/writer collaboration scheme and as a result Charlotte produced an extraordinary soft sculpture installation, FEED, that has already been show at the Jeannie Avent Gallery in London to an enthusiastic public.

The sculpture installation will go on show on 29 July at SWERVE Gallery and Project Space when Hannah Hoare will give a reading from her dystopian/science fiction novel that inspired it.

Hannah and Chalotte will continue their collaborative practice whilst living and working together at SWERVE. We are very excited to be welcoming two such interesting creative artists.

CHARLOTTE MALIK studied sculpture at St Martins, Chelsea School of Art, The Royal Academy. She lives and works in London as a sculptor and therapist and will create an installation at the SWERVE Gallery in 2024. Instagram: CHARLOTTE MALIK.
