During Morphic Resonance Rebecca Chesney, Robina Llewellyn and Elaine Speight will be researching artist-led projects in the social realm for their third Pest publication. Whilst they travelaround the U.K. and Budapest visiting different artist-run ventures, the Pest office at PSL will function as a repository and sorting office for their research.
Having previously published two issues of Pest, focusing on artists’ initiatives using domestic spaces and museums and archives, participation in Morphic Resonance allows the research phase of their third publication to be made public. Visitors can access
the research and contribute new information to the archive. If you know of a project you think Pest should visit or material to contribute to the archive please tell the Pest secretary or gallery assistant, or e-mail [email protected].
To locate themselves at PSL the Pest team asked themselves “if we had an office, what would it be like?” The answer: slightly cobbled together, begged and borrowed, with the air of a 1970’s detective agency. Echoing the connotations of their name ‘pest’, the make-do office acknowledges the shoe-string nature of many artist led projects, relying on tenacity and the goodwill of others.
