–2012

Sittingroomskipping have been very quiet these days as 2012 is coming to an end.
But from 2013 onwards, few things will be changing; added, multiplied and developed for a wider and diverse platform.

Will be announcing some news as they come along, until then.



Sittingroomskipping team.

Our 3rd installment of the group exhibition at Powerlunches (Dalston/Haggerston) with guest curator Lauren Jetty Howells-Green (Central Saint Martins BA Fine Art student).Asking other artists and students from Central Saint Martins to explore and create a work based on Iain Banks’ novel Wasp Factory (1984).A little something about Wasp Factory:“Two years after I killed Blyth I murdered my young brother Paul, for quite different and more fundamental reasons than I’d disposed of Blyth, and then a year after that I did for my young cousin Esmerelda, more or less on a whim. That’s my score to date. Three. I haven’t killed anybody for years, and don’t intend to ever again. It was just a stage I was going through”Showcasing works by:Estelle BirchRuby CedarSamantha HareLauren Jetty Howells-GreenBriony KirbyDaisy Madden-WellsTosin OgunsanyaMolly PearceAmber RoweIzzi ValentineAlice WoodsCome along to the exhibition on 28th Saturday July, 2012 @ Powerlunches.The facebook event:http://www.facebook.com/events/233964726722026/  Like us on our page aswell:http://www.facebook.com/sittingroomskipping 

FEATURE SERIES no.01: Rachel Treliving.Graphic Design student at Central Saint Martins, Rachel Treliving.Rachel joined us for our “LSD” exhibition in May 2012. She just created a new website (take a look here) showcasing her colourful skills.Her work doesn’t concentrate on one particular aspect; an open minded positive approach with diverse range of enthusiasm towards various disciplines from photography, illustration, print and film work.Definitely the one to watch out for.Her latest work (used as the header image) being, ‘a scarf with a porno theme that can be worn many ways…An added feature is the eyeholes which can be a secret around you neck or the scarf can be used over the head to maintain anonymity.’Rachel Treliving:http://www.racheltreliving.com/http://racheltreliving.tumblr.com/
