Return to Dreamphone a new exhibition by Nick Murray, ACAVA artist-in-residence. The works at Barham Park Studios document Nick’s ongoing project to map the shifting Landscape along the River Brent.
Rooted in systems of care and collective reimagining, Return to Dreamphone asks inhabitants what a community archive can offer. A room-sized installation and a card table, shaped like Barham Park’s nearest floodplain, explore alternative communal archiving methods—questioning how they can resist and thrive in an increasingly commodified digital-physical world.
The works at Barham Park Studios are an in-progress document of Nick’s ongoing project mapping the shifting landscape along the River Brent. This chapter follows the Wembley Brook as it passes underneath Barham Park and meets the Brent at Stonebridge Park. The river becomes an allegorical path— it meanders, obscuring the search for a utopia that can be glimpsed, but remains just out of reach.
