The 2024 Sluice expo centres on the idea of the vernacular, exploring how culture can emerge and adapt in reaction to various influences, whether structural or ethical. The expo is an opportunity for a loosely defined sector, encompassing artist-led initiatives, curator-led projects, collectives, non-profit organisations and galleries to converge.

Sluice is a non-profit initiative based in the UK, led by artists and curators. Since 2011 Sluice has collaborated exclusively with other artist and curator-led projects, collectives and non-profit initiatives. They create multi-faceted events around the world, focusing on the local in a transnational context. Sluice vernacular was developed in partnership with the Minories.

The current faculty at the Blackwater Polytechnic is Ben Coode-Adams (Vice-Chancellor & President), Dr Annabel Dover, Tristan Howe (Associate Lecturer), Sara Impey (Senior Lecturer), Dr Alex Pearl and Professor Freddie Robins. Professor Knopphauser is on sabbatical.

Freddie Robins’ work, I, purchased for the Government Art Collection in 2021 through Art X-UK Acquisitions, has now travelled to Turkey as part of the new display for the British Ambassador’s Residence in Ankara.

The new display in the British Ambassador’s Residence in Ankara reflects the long diplomatic relations between the UK and Turkey, which date back to the 16th century. The new installation coincides with an important centenary, the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 2023. When the Lausanne Treaty of 1923 was signed recognising the boundaries of the modern state of Turkey, King George V was on the throne, and he along with his Queen-Consort Mary of Teck are displayed at the Residence as a reminder of this salient moment in the country’s history.
