Kettle’s Yard is known for its thoughtfully curated spaces where renowned examples of modern art are found in conversation with natural objects, plants, furniture and textiles.
Within this exhibition, artists will place an entirely different set of connections on display, looking at the ideas and influences that drive their work, and in some cases, the connections they share with one another as colleagues, collaborators, and friends.
A STAFFROOM exists as an in-between space; one that is based within a working environment but can feel detached. Staff who use the space may collaborate or conspire; laugh or cry; air their grievances or share common ground.

STAFFROOM will run from 22 – 24 August, 11am – 5pm at Kettle’s Yard, House and Gallery, Castle St, Cambridge CB3 0AQ.
