Arts
Degenerate Space are an art collective formed by artists Alice Ashton, Molly Irwin Clark and Rosa Irwin Clark in London, UK. Degenerate Space makes site-specific, participatory performance and installation work around issues of place, architecture, environment and identity especially regarding the shifting landscape of London. A project to note in particular was their work with the residents around Cressingham Gardens in Tulse Hill titled ‘The Smallness Inside the Bigness: Changing visions on Cressingham Gardens’ – a site responsive, interactive performance walk as part of the London Festival of Architecture and Antiuniversity Now Festival. Hear the trio discuss firsthand the formation of the collective, their quirks, their processes of investigation, their boundaries/limits with one another and why Nicki Minaj's 'Superbass' is so important to them! Submissions are now open for their newest project, "Solus and the City". Solus and the City is a project consisting of the construction of a small 'Solitude Shed' – a structure based on rural mountain bothies built on an urban site in London. Accompanying the structure will be a collection of material written from female perspectives exploring themes of solitude, sanctuary, stability and individuality.
