Samara Scott expansive practice is rooted in a deep research and inquiry into the malleability and mutative nature of materials belonging to contemporary production and waste. In liquid mingling assemblages/ tapestries of stockings, sunscreen, foam, broken glass, oils, eyeshadow, goo and gunk, there is ambience of a viscous and sensuous post-capital landscape. An inquiry into depths of a volatile system of things, of objects, commodities and conditions. 

Samara Scott has exhibited widely and internationally. Select exhibitions include: Discordia, KM21, The Hague, Netherlands 2023; Soft Water Hard Stone, New Museum Triennial, New York, USA (2021); Mixing it Up: Painting Today, Hayward Gallery, London, UK (2021); The Doldrums, CAPC Museum, Bordeaux, France 2020; Days are Dogs, Palais De Tokyo, Paris.

OSE Public Programme 2025

Open School East is excited to announce a new series of public events as part of its ongoing programming cycle, Home Is Where The Garden Is. Through participatory workshops, artist talks, and listening sessions, the programme will explore the networks, systems and communities that form civic space; an entwined mesh of shared social and political space shaped by material and social interventions and interrelations. The programme draws from local and national histories, speculative experimentation, and the social-ecological systems that shape our lived environments.

We’re also excited to announce our continued partnership with Turner Contemporary, who are generously hosting part of the public programme.
