Discussing how the theme of the show, curator Seren Metcalfe describes:
“The opportunity to curate OUTPOST’s 2025 Members’ Show has arrived during a moment of structural and emotional rupture for OUTPOST, for us, and for many artist-led spaces. The loss of OUTPOST's physical studio mirrors what's happening with our own space at WCCD at SET Woolwich. Instead of treating these as isolated closures, we're looking at them as part of a wider moment of breaking down in order to collectively rebuild -physically, digitally, emotionally.
In this collective spirit, the works in this show are those of OUTPOST members, WCCD members, and some who are members of both.
We're thinking about the show not just as an exhibition, but as a holding space for all of this: the grief of loss and demolition, the residue of creative activity and how it gets remembered, the precariousness and constant flux that shape how artists live, work and organise.
We have selected works that speak to impermanence, precarity and transformation. Works that echo the tension between holding on and letting go. There's a thread running through everything we've looked at so far: how artists find ways to survive creatively in unstable environments, and how the traces of those efforts get archived, shared, or lost”.
