Return Address

Here, the space brings together an interim show where works meet for the first time ‘post’ lockdown. Post- lockdown has seen extreme precautions and restrictions to enable a steady restart of society and controlled regulation of the pandemic to allow some common activity to safely resume. Communication proved vital during the lockdown, this was furthered by a more intercommunication means of technology and screened digitalisation.

The more traditional and physical means of posting also gave way to significant and vital correspondence. Keeping everyone together and connected even despite slower consistency and delivery speeds. Awareness of time was encapsulated, as waiting for a delivery always seems.

‘Return Address’ features recent UCA graduates and previous Crate residency award winners who have sent a piece of work to the letterbox delivery format of 24.5cm x 5.5cm. Despite size seeming a limitation, the responses have been expansive and are documented in the collaborative space. These works are seen for the first time, outside there sending and receiving process.
