Artist-in-Residence
Richard Sides
Richard Sides’ works explore contemporary ideas of meaning as an existential problem. These often manifest as environments that refer to the site of the exhibition as an obstruction and a space with particularities to respond to. They are also sometimes curating shows in different spaces as well as co-running The Wig with Angharad Williams and Gianmaria Andreetta; an exhibition space, and running BUS; an imprint for publishing predominantly free editions of music, writing and physical objects. Recent exhibitions include The Wig, Bonner Kunstverein (2022); The Wig, Mostyn, Wales (2022); Time Without End, Fluentum, Berlin (2021); The Matrix, Schiefe Zähne, Berlin (2021); Tourism, Kunsthaus Glarus and Stadtgalerie Bern, Switzerland (2021); Ars Viva 2021, Hannover Kunstverein (2021). In 2020 he was awarded the Art Viva Prize.
