We were delighted to launch the Catalyst Arts Online Residency with artists Beau W Beakhouse and Sadia Pineda Hameed in May 2021.

‘The archive is a house, and like most old houses, it grows mold.’ 

the site was an intuitive and associative archive of research around decay, positing a new experimental form of ‘preservation’. the site formed links that were personal, fragile or unfinished through weblogs as well as an online, public chat function.

the site updated with new blogposts weekly, and scattered the archival work gathered during the residency across the web, revivifying defunct, forgotten and open resource spaces of information.

Beau W Beakhouse is an artist, filmmaker and curator based in Cardiff. His artistic practice often returns to themes of language, land, the post-colonial, alternate histories and dreams via intersections and convergences. He has upcoming residencies with Tangent Projects and Jerwood UNITe (g39) and a forthcoming solo exhibition with Arcade/Campfa.

Sadia Pineda Hameed is an artist based in Cardiff, Wales. She works in film, installation, text and performance to explore collective and inherited trauma; in particular, the latent ways we speak about this through dreaming, telepathic communion and secrets as an anti-colonial strategy inherent to us. She has shown work with The Bluecoat, MOSTYN, HOAX, Peak and others.
