Art Space Portsmouth is pleased to welcome Josefina Posch the recipient of the Art Space Portsmouth International Residency 2010.
The three-month Art Space Portsmouth International Artist's Residency is aimed at emerging fine artists with some experience of professional practice who may have had limited exposure in the UK and whose work is engaged with contemporary debate within the international art world.

Josefina will be in residence until the end of November 2010. Please follow her journey here:

The Logic of Basho < Here's Looking at You Kid > at Galleri Pictura, Sweden


The installation in Sweden varied a bit from the one at GASP in Portsmouth by the shape of the enclosure being a Pentagon, the Peepholes also being lined with white rabbit fur and that we added sets of headphones in the projection room in addition to having the sound played over speakers.

The exhibition at GallerPictura in Lund Sweden will be up until Jan 15th, 2011

Installing at Galleri Pictura

Just a few days after I arrived back in Gothenburg, Sweden it was time to load up the pentagon structure I had stored at my fathers place in Bollebygd and drive down to install my exhibition at Galleri Pictura in Lund. The Vernissage or Opening Reception is tomorrow Friday the 10th of Dec from 6-8pm.

The crate with my sculptures from Portsmouth arrived well in Sweden. Even the Basho Tattoo Logo Posters were intact but someone had opened up the Peephole that we had covered up with a piece of board. Seems everyone is a voyeur after all, but I already knew that.
