We are looking for four students who want an opportunity to work at Flat Time House with unprecedented access to its archive and with the archive at Central St Martins. You will develop a self-initiated project which will culminate in a display in the Window Gallery on Charing Cross Road in February 2010. Applications will be accepted from all current CSM students. John Latham was one of the most important British artists of the post-war period. His work spanned painting and sculpture, performance and film, theoretical writing and social agitation, from the 1940s until his death in 2006. Latham is embedded in the history (and mythology) of Central Saint Martins, infamous for his iconoclastic activities with students, his ‘happenings’ at Better Books, and his involvement with the Artist Placement Group, a groundbreaking project positioning artists in industry and government. His former home in Peckham, Flat Time House, is renowned in the area for its street facing window sculpture. It is now open as a gallery and research centre, exhibiting the work of Latham, his contemporaries and artists whose work relates to his Time-base theories. Latham's archive is kept in the house and is subject to ongoing research and digitisation.
