Part 1

After another false start last week after which I was felled by tonsillitis, a cold and a hacking cough, I managed to get out (in the dark initially) for a run. Despite waking up feeling a bit sick I actually got back feeling quite good. #morning #run

#BasementFM #NowItsDark #Playlist for this morning’s pre-dawn run featuring Nkisi, Zonal, Allesandro Cortini, Alec Empire, Sexwitch, Zonal & Moor Mother, Nurse With Wound, Bela Emerson & Philip Petit, Angelo Badalamenti, Moor Mother, Jaap Blonk & Radboud Mens, Hype Williams, Inga Copland

Sun up and houses reflecting on trees thru bus shelter. After a week in bed I am finally up and on the move. Heading off to work.

Morning #onthecornerbeeston - even in cities you can get a lovely sky

‪It’s time to curate & cook again today! ‬
‪2/3 in our #LunchtimeConversation series for #onthecornerbeeston in which I cook and we are joined by one of our current artists who will discuss their work with guests over lunch. Today the turn of @domthesculptor a 3 bean stew and chilli‬

Exhibition three of three currently on display at #BasementArtsProject alongside #ahousewithinahome by @phill_hopkins and Pitched by @jadenefine_art is Collaborations On The Corner - a collaborative exhibition between the two artists
Since early February the pair have been trading artworks by post and asking each other to contribute to the work until it is considered finished. Eight works where completed in this manner.
Beeston born @jadenefine_art is a student of Fine Art about to enrol in her third year @lborouniversity and Phill Hopkins is an international artist with work in various collections around the world and a graduate of Goldsmiths in the early eighties.
Collaborations On The Corner is part of #onthecornerbeeston which is also part of @_indexfestival @ysi_2019

Pitched by @jadenefine_art is the second of three exhibitions currently on display at #basementartsproject
On display alongside #ahousewithinahome her work continues the dissection of ideas around the question of what makes a house a home. For Pitched, Jadene Imbusch views life from the POV of temporary living as her installation moves daily around the ground floor of #BasementArtsProject
This project is part of #onthecornerbeeston which is also part of the wider region project @_indexfestival and @ysi_2019
We are open today until 4pm and tomorrow (Monday 16th September) 11am-2pm

#ahousewithinahome is one of @phill_hopkins biggest installations of his career. An artist that more often than not works on a tiny scale has taken over two entire rooms at #basementartsproject
The project looks at a whole host of subjects but ultimately revolves around the question of what is it that makes a house a home.
A House Within A Home is a sculptural installation featuring drawings, painting, photography and an audio element. It is also part of #onthecornerbeeston which is part of @_indexfestival @ysi_2019
Open until 4pm today and 11am-2pm tomorrow (Monday 16th September)
Pay us a visit. Always free tea and coffee on the go

Sites for sculpture. Tunstall Road, Beeston, South Leeds.
Work is currently underway at a local quarry on an 8ft sculpture intended for this patch of ground just outside of #basementartsproject
This project is part of #onthecornerbeeston which also features #ahousewithinahome by @phill_hopkins Nature of Balance by Dominic Hopkinson and Pitched by Jadene Imbusch
As you can see from the sky it is looking like a lovely late summer day on which to get out and look at art. Come visit Phill’s exhibition and have tea or coffee with us when you do.
Always free. BasementArtsProject open today 2-4pm

#BasementArtsProject is open again today 2-4pm
This exhibition features the work of @phill Hopkins #ahousewithinahome in the basement and @jadenefine_art on the groundfloor, and eight collaborative works on the staircase between.
The exhibition looks at precarious living in the 21st century and how the injustice of not having a place to call home can go under the radar in a nation whose attention is diverted by #brexit
Come and check it out this afternoon. Free tea and coffee.

#ahousewithinahome Pitched @jadenefine_art

Currently, in the subterranean environment that is #basementartsproject #ahousewithinahome by Phill Hopkins and Pitched by @jadenefine_art continue their run until 29th September #onthecornerbeeston
These exhibitions look at some of the situations that confront us daily as we go about our lives yet manage fly under the radar as the vexed question of nationhood continues to #occupy the minds of our #government via This is less an exhibition about #brexit than it is an exhibition about the things that issues around Brexit conceal

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?
