COME/CLICK TO SEE
Interdisciplinary Event [Producer and Curator]13th MARCH 2020
Come/Click To See was an multidisciplinary event curated by Rebecca Douglass at Muxima, London- an independent community cafe and microvenue for the arts. The programme contained an array of presentations, including improvised dance, art, live sitar, film, poetry and a closing DJ set, all from young and emerging artists working in and around London.
Part of the ethos of the project was that the event should live on via a digital archive. As such, it is encouraged that this page is visited and digested like the live event itself.
1. Treat this page like you are visiting the event...
As the population descends into gadget-mania, the art world is becoming evermore digitalised. Online spaces morph into identical replicas of institutionalised galleries/theatres/concert halls. Instagram offers you the chance to curate your own gallery without stepping foot into the real space, and Netflix turns every couch-potato into the programmer of a film festival. And so the question arises; Why go to see art in person when the duplicate can be googled from the comfort of your sofa?
CURATORS SAY NO. From airports to swimming pools, street corners to shipping containers, the migration of curators out of galleries and into unexpected spaces is becoming ever more obvious. The ‘space’ we see and experience art is now a necessary selling point, the crowd pleaser, the memory-maker. In response, I curated an evening of multidisciplinary artwork in COME/CLICK TO SEE, an opportunity for young artists to present their work in both a physical and online presence, supported by Muxima as part of my Negotiated Project at London Contemporary Dance School.
And now, I have curated an online space for this event to live on…

I was infinitely fortunate to have the keen eye of Jamie Buchanan documenting the event through video. In some incredible, artistic feat, Jamie has managed to immortalise the vibrancy of the event in his editing process so the whole thing can be relived over and over again…

As an independent art and culture space, this location acted as the perfect venue for this event. The walls are filled with intriguing artwork alongside homemade crafts, and the room is filled with vibrant bric-a-brac creating an ambience that differs entirely from a white wall or theatre space. The whole feel is homely, inviting, intriguing, and suited the diverse audience of dancers, artists, friends and regulars to the cafe.
