Still Remote: Prism Arts Online Showcase Launches
(August 22, 2024) Art Gene launches the latest installment of the Still Remote digital programme: the Prism Arts Online Showcase.
The showcase, curated by Sophie Lindsey, includes work by 20 different artists from Prism Arts as well as videos that show their making process.
This collection uses bold shapes and bright colours, as well as different techniques and styles. Some pieces were made during specific projects, learning workshops, or during supported studio sessions.
The making process is the most important part of this work, with artists getting immersed, working instinctively and unselfconsciously to express themselves and play with materials.
Still Remote is Art Gene’s latest digital programme curated by artist Sophie Lindsey. Running throughout 2024, Art Gene is sharing work from a group of 3 artists alongside a collection of work from Prism Arts, in a series of online exhibitions, events, and interventions.
Emma Turner, Communications Lead at Prism Arts, said this of the launch:
“We are thrilled to have been chosen for this opportunity to highlight the excellent work of our studio artists and working alongside curator Sophie Lindsey has been a pleasure. Still Remote is the start of an exciting partnership with Art Gene and we can’t wait to see how this collaboration will develop in the future!”

ABOUT STILL REMOTE
“For many of us, our daily lives have been taking place both on and offline for years. From how we plan and organise ourselves, to how we move through information and places, consume culture, and make connections. Digital technology is continually transforming how we work, play, and rest.
In 2020 this relationship was more extreme, as our physical lives shrank to inside our homes and our online lives accelerated exponentially. While the world responded to our shared circumstances, for some these barriers were nothing new. With remote working, online events, and income support schemes offering solutions many had been asking for for years, it demonstrated a short-term flexibility that previously seemed impossible.
Now, with in-person activities and events once again the norm, how are we navigating our on and offline lives, and what is this like for those who still need to be remote?
Through work that explores long distance collaboration, being on hold, and making with support, Still Remote is a reflection of our recent digital history and where this leaves us now.
With artists Aminder Virdee, Amy Wright, Gary-Martin, and a collection of artists from Prism Arts, this programme contemplates the different opportunities and barriers online spaces offer, and what this can continue to mean for creativity, collaboration, and access.”
