Starting in October 2020, Hidden Door asked different artists to curate a fortnight of work culminating in a live streamed event. Dave House’s Iterations project started off the series.
Through a series of connected work, Iterations explored how COVID-19 restrictions affected the creative process, output and mental health of six artists. Each participant had two days to respond to the previous artist’s work as well as the overall theme. The Hidden Door social media feeds featured works in progress throughout the fortnight, ending with a live streamed event featuring the final pieces and interviews with the artists.
The artists involved were:
Esther Swift (composer, harpist)
Mara Menzies (storyteller)
Bell Lungs (composer)
Charlie Knox (musician)
Stephen Paterson (multimedia artist)
Dave House (musician, sound artist)
