    EXCHANGE BERLIN is an international exposition of artist/curator-led presentations loosely underpinnned by ideas around transnational localism. EXCHANGE BERLIN encourages integrated, collaborative and even spontaneous modes of exhibition and critical evaluation. The aim of all Sluice projects is to offer an independent alternative to the dominant organisational paradigms whilst demonstrating a belief in the importance of international engagement for otherwise local projects.

    Exhibiting with the Blackwater Polytechnic alongside EMC Collard, Ben Coode-Adams, Fiona Curran and Justin Knopp.

    Read Resistant Materials, an essay by Ben Coode-Adams and Freddie Robins (Blackwater Polytechnic) in Sluice magazine, Inter/nationalism issue, Autumn/Winter 2018

    Resistant Materials is an exhibition about how to live out of the centre, outside a framework of mutual endeavour and shared values.
    The view of landscape from the city is very different from living in it. Being here in Essex there is not all that much romance. Here in this landscape it is mainly by turns muddy or dusty. It is dark. I become overwhelmed by colours. The birds are staggeringly loud. There is never quiet. A strimmer or chainsaw is always struggling to carve a clear space. This land is resistant. It bites and stings, catches at your clothes, and obstructs you at every turn.
    Ben Coode-Adams

    All four artists in the exhibition work with stuff, actual physical things produced with skill and craft.
    I very much like physical material because it is uncompromisingly visual. I am naturally distrustful of text and words, of theory. I like action.
