Both Sides Now V: Artist Residency – Rob Crosse
Rob Crosse is a residency artist under Both Sides Now V, the fifth edition of a long term project partnered between Videotage (HK) and videoclub (UK) and for the 2019 edition, with Eaton HK in presenting contemporary and historical films and video works from the UK, Hong Kong and China, curated by Isaac Leung and Jamie Wyld.
Both Sides Now V and Eaton HK are co-hosting the residency and co-presenting a public program with a screening and artist conversation by Rob Crosse at Eaton House’s cinema, Kino. Drew on an on-going research about intergenerational desire by Crosse, the screening would explore ideas of duty and care within the power structure of an older / younger relationship with references to past / present historical perspectives. After the screening, Crosse will talk about queer art practices in the artist conversation. Rob Crosse is conducting his research from 1 – 31 March in Hong Kong and staying in Eaton HK’s dedicated residency accommodation.
Born in Hertfordshire in 1985. Rob Crosse lives and works in London. Rob studied Fine Art Photography at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth where he acquired the skills to develop the ideas and increase understanding of contemporary art. Although trained as a photographer he also uses video and installation as part of the practice. Rob’s work has been exhibited in Lighthouse – Brighton, Maynard Gallery – Hertfordshire and in several venues in Bournemouth.
