DOES THE IT STICK

For their Studio Voltaire commission at Bloomberg SPACE, Tatham & O’Sullivan will develop a work that engages both with the site of Bloomberg and the context of the commission. This new work will transpose ‘DOES THE IT FIT’, a project produced in response to Stephenson Works, a regeneration site in Newcastle-upon Tyne, to Bloomberg in London. Tatham & O'Sullivan have developed this strategy through a six-week production residency at Studio Voltaire, producing a single work involving multiple elements, which react with and respond to Bloomberg’s corporate identity. Using discursive lines of enquiry, Tatham & O’Sullivan will explore and challenge the conventions of architecture and space, the sharing of information and its value, and the constructs of the gallery space, as well as the wider corporate model. The commission will include artworks by Gary Webb and Tobias Rehberger that were previously produced by Bloomberg’s commissioning programme. The work will be accompanied by a programme of events including artists Will Holder & Chris Evans and Fiona Jardine, as well as a series of tours of the Bloomberg offices.
