The Studio



RESIDENCIES + EXHIBITION  
- Underdogs Gallery


Over five weeks, five artists will each take over the gallery for a week, transforming the space into a temporary studio. The usually unseen moments of practice become visible: sketches, gestures, doubts, repetitions. Each artist is invited to work on paper, exploring what it can hold within their practice: a beginning, a return, or a place for something new to emerge.

As the weeks unfold, the works begin to accumulate in the space. Each artist decides where their pieces will live, gradually building a collective composition. In doing so, a new form of dialogue emerges: not only between the artists and the public, but also between the five artists themselves, extending the spirit of complicity that has long defined their relationship with Underdogs.
