Artists: SIMON BANOS, OLIVER HICKMET, FELICITY HAMMOND, HARRY MEADLEY, GESAMTATELIER, RACHEL PIMM onepointfiveone is a long-term curatorial project based at Window Space on Whitechapel High Street taking place from January to June 2017, with solo shows opening the first Thursday of each month starting in February. The project is born out of considerations around physical aspects of space. It quest
ions the multiple layers contained within a fixed depth, blurring the boundaries between real and perceived dimension. onepointfiveone develops through a series of five solo shows and new commissions that challenge the idea of exhibiting artwork in a space that has limited access yet full visibility to the audience. onepointfiveone aims to open up the Window Space beyond its real depth of approximately 1.51 meters into new spaces that blur the lines between reality, illusion and hybridization. Artists Simon Banos, Oliver Hickmet, Felicity Hammond, Harry Meadley, Gesamtatelier and Rachel Pimm will each interpret the Window Space as a layered form, approaching the vitrine-like space as a living organism consisting of multiple layers rather than a passive container. onepointfiveone is curated by Caterina Avataneo, Rokhsane Hovaida, Christina Makri
