filip custic x Mandrake Hotel x W1 Curates presents filip glitch

As the latest Artist in Residence at the Mandrake Hotel , filip custic embarked on an investigation of how London and its iconic landmarks might physically and conceptually shape our understanding of reality, identity and culture. In streaming custic’s previous performances for public consumption, the mandrake’s partnership with @w1curates became the catalyst for custic’s storytelling, as the artist reclaimed public space to showcase his practice, engaging his audiences beyond the streets and amplifying his message all through multidisciplinary interpretations of ‘connectivity’. The open invitation to attend custic’s climactic performance outside W1 Curates represented the mutual goal of our partners, which is to provide wider access to disruptive art forms, and encourage radical experimentation by passionate creatives. Thank you Mandrake and filip custic for sharing your vision with us, and a huge congratulations to the Founder and Lead Curator of the Artist in Residence Programme Maguelone Marcenac on your guidance and leadership in this project!
