Tiny encampments of brightly coloured miniature tents have appeared all around #BasementArtsProject yesterday. These little communities are slowly migrating around the ground floor of the house.
Pitched by @jadenefine_art looks at transient communities and their presence within settled communities. The current exhibitions at BasementArtsProject are both about the situations faced by the homeless in the need to be, for the sake of safety and survival, visible whilst simultaneously invisible.
What is a House?
And what makes one a home?

Certain images recur and repeat throughout the work of @phill_hopkins often if you find one of something you will find several repetitions of it elsewhere. Sometimes motifs disappear for a time but eventually they return in a new way.
The image of the waste paper basket is one such instance from the past that has made a return in recent months during #ahousewithinahome
Alongside the new work involving waste paper baskets and multiple images of them #BasementArtsProject has secured the loan of ‘I Fall To Pieces’ from the Leeds City Collection (bought from the artist in the early nineties by Leeds Museums & Galleries)
This work will be on display as part of our current ‘On The Corner’ project at BasementArtsProject until 29.09.19

Check website for exhibition opening times
