    Edna Lumb Travel Prize 2015 – Winner

Since 2014 BasementArtsProject has been working on a project with Samela Otoviç, BA Fine Art student at Leeds Beckett University, to realise an annual exhibition each July until graduation. Having looked at painting, through the use of light and lenses, It Will Come To Me (2014), and surveillance through drone technology, robots and maps, Counterplay (2015), we move to the last of her three exhibitions as she prepares for graduation.

What Goes Around Comes Around continues to explore issues surrounding control, borders surveillance and  exploitation, this time with a focus on charitable acts and the culture surrounding giving in the twenty-first century.
