Full Empty - Artist residency and event by General Practice
During the first two weeks of September, members of Lincoln based artist-led collective General Practice have been resident artists at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre.
The group aim to explore Scunthorpe by dividing the town into zones which they will navigate with curiosity. They will roam, collect materials and stories, photographs, sound recordings, and impressions of the environment. Sites on the edges—half-forgotten, half-closed, sometimes forbidden—will become spaces for discovery, echoing the childlike adventure of exploring unknown places.

Working under the title Full Empty, the residency is inspired by the 1971 philosophical science fiction novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky and the film it inspired, Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
20-21 Visual Arts Centre will act as a temporary studio and base camp, where conversations, experiments, and collaborative making will unfold.
📅Full Empty event. Friday 12 September - 7pm to 9pm 📅
The project will culminate on Friday 12 September with a one-night-only installation/happening in the dramatic darkened church-space at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre that reimagines Scunthorpe's landscape as a site of hidden stories, ruins, and potential futures.
The gallery will be open from 7pm to 9pm for visitors to see the final artworks produced during the residency. Free entry – no need to book
