For their spring/summer show 2016,XAP will inhabit the old deli and the flat above for five days, taking as a point of departure ideas around time, making (un)subtle interventions with and around the leftovers from the last occupants of the building.

Exhibiting Artists:Sarah Cave-McMullan, Anya Charikov-Mickleburgh, T.Croxton, Laura Dekker, Teague Flannery, Alison Griffin, Ute Kirkwood, Theresia Lynch, Angela Mellen, Ana Oak, Ed Saye, Elizabeth Sandford Richardson, Liz Sergeant, Dina Varpahovsky

In the storeroom, two lobster-sized electronic creatures roam their remit to act out their part in the creation myth. Elsewhere, cobwebs are transported from another home and placed in delicate thread display cases; empty catheter boxes line the deli shelves; a collector’s hoard of used train tickets form an index, a catalogue, a demarcation of specific journeys in time.

London based artist collective XAP have been working together since 2007. As a group they have curated group exhibitions, held residencies and worked on more collaborative/experimental projects. Their diverse and cross-disciplinary practice tackles contemporary social, political and cultural issues.
