ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
UCL Slade School of Fine Art & Heal’s
18 students over seven days celebrating 200 years
Heal’s has been at the forefront of modern design for 200 years and as part of the bicentenary celebrations this February, Heal’s is working with the UCL Slade School of Fine Art, where 18 art students will be in residence within the windows of Heal’s flagship Tottenham Court Road store to create a unique piece of retail theatre.
From 1st – 7th February 2010 this inspirational design project of interactive living windows will see art installations being created day and night in Heal’s 27 meter long showcase window.
The 18 students from the UCL Slade School of Fine art include;.

Jayne Wilton; creating the installation ‘Catching Breath’ where 200 breaths will be caught as copper plate etchings, acid washed and displayed to create a large scale collage.

Sir Ambrose Heal had a keen interest in fine art and attended classes at the UCL Slade School of Fine Art near Heal’s Tottenham Court Road on Gower Street where he also met his second wife Edith Todhunter at the end of the 19th century.
Up until the 1980s Heal’s held an exhibition space, the Mansard gallery, on the fifth floor of the Tottenham Court Road store which was opened in 1919 by Ambrose Heal. It was the White Cube gallery of its day, the first place to exhibit Modigliani in the UK, where Aldous Huxley first met Virginia Woolf and where the first room sets were presented by Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer and Maxwell Fry.
“It is no surprise that Ambrose – always interested in the overlap between art, design and commerce – should set up a galley at Heal’s to show the best and, in many cases, most innovative art”. John Aiken, Director of the UCL Slade School of Fine Art

Although the gallery no longer exists, Heal’s core values towards and links with the art and design community are just as fundamentally important as ever. Artists In Residence reflects Heal’s rich design heritage, whilst heralding the next chapter of Heal’s history.

The art produced over the course of the seven days will be available to purchase from the Heal’s virtual Mansard Gallery which launches online at heals.co.uk to coincide with the project, with prices ranging from £15
