General Practice, 25 Clasketgate, Lincoln (2025)

15/09/2025

We had a fantastic end event on Friday , and what an incredible turnout! Thank you to everyone who came along to show their support it was the perfect conclusion to a wonderful experience.

A special thanks to and the team for giving us the freedom to explore and create. It really was a magical experience exploring the land, delving into different zones, and having the rare chance to play with fluidity. We loved spending time discovering the edges of Scunthorpe and developing a new body of work.

Here are a few photos from the event the space was amazing and let us work with real scale and ambition.

Full Empty is an experimental residency by General Practice, an artist-led collective based in Lincoln.

Taking inspiration from the novel Roadside Picnic and Tarkovsky’s Stalker, we’re exploring Scunthorpe by dividing it into zones—roaming, collecting, and responding to what we find. Forgotten edges, closed-off sites, and chance encounters become spaces for discovery.

is our base camp, where experiments unfold and ideas take shape. It will all come together in a one-night public happening on 12th September, transforming Scunthorpe’s landscapes into a site of hidden stories, ruins, and potential futures.

We’ve just wrapped up the first week of our residency at 20-21 Gallery in Scunthorpe. Over the past few days, we’ve explored the town’s edges and in-between spaces—stumbling upon a mysterious house, a dragon turned to stone, empty cement factories, and an abandoned hotel.

Through sound, performance, video, and photography, we’ve been gathering fragments of these places to shape into something new. Nights in the gallery have been filled with play, experiments, and preparations for our final performance on 12 September, 7–9pm.

This journey has only just begun—more to come as we head into week two.

We are very happy to begin our residency with 2021 Gallery from 1–12 September.

General Practice, an artist-led collective based in Lincoln, has been invited to Scunthorpe for a two-week experimental residency that will conclude with a one-night “Happening” inside the newly refurbished Church Gallery at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre.

Working under the title Full Empty, the residency takes inspiration from the 1971 philosophical science fiction novel Roadside Picnic by Russian authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, as well as Andrei Tarkovsky’s film Stalker, which was based on the novel.

Throughout the residency, the group will explore Scunthorpe by dividing the town into zones, navigating them with curiosity. They will roam and collect — gathering materials, stories, photographs, sound recordings, and impressions of the environment. Sites on the edges — half-forgotten, half-closed, sometimes forbidden — will become spaces for discovery, echoing the childlike adventure of exploring unknown places.

20-21 Visual Arts Centre will serve as a temporary studio and base camp, where conversations, experiments, and collaborative making will unfold. This process will culminate in a one-night public installation/happening that reimagines Scunthorpe’s landscape as a site of hidden stories, ruins, and potential futures.

More updates are coming soon.

Save the Date – Tuesday 7th October
We’re thrilled to be hosting a Private View at General Practice, and everyone is welcome. It’s fantastic to have here with these amazing works – this is not to be missed.

The very first record I ever bought was The Works by Queen. I was seven years old, completely obsessed with Radio Ga Ga—especially the clapping bit. I picked it up from Midland Educational in Birmingham City Centre while my dad bought The Riddle by Nik Kershaw. Fast forward to my teenage years, and I’d grown a little embarrassed to admit I loved Queen.

Years later, when I began painting again in my late twenties, I realised most of my canvases came from The Works. And just like with Queen, I used to feel that same twinge of embarrassment. Not anymore.

The Works at General Practice brings together almost all of my paintings made on canvases from The Works, alongside a new painting/sculpture celebrating my love of Queen (mainly Brian May’s guitar and Freddie Mercury’s moustache, if I’m honest) and their iconic album The Works.

Tuesday 7th October
Talk: 5–6pm
Private View: immediately after the talk

Everyone is welcome. More details to come.

After a short summer break we are back ☺️

We are happy to announce Self seed by Jane Frederick

A garden as a studio: September residency at General Practice, Clasket Gate, Lincoln.

The Garden Seekers Project examines the complexity, symbolism, social history and wonder of formal gardens and forms the focus of Jane Frederick’s practice.

Her research began at Hamilton MAS, the micro art space by the sea in Felixstowe, Suffolk in 2020, when she was based in the Heritage seafront spa gardens.

From there Jane became Essex Gardens Trust artist in residence working with regional garden teams to create an installation in the Robert Adam Rooms at Audley End House, Saffron Walden.

During the September residency, Jane will be delighted to allow the gp eco-system to nourish and shape new
work with conversations, critique and public engagement.

PV 6-9pm Friday 19th September all welcome

Further updates on how you can visit Jane’s work coming soon.

Over the past four weeks, we’ve been working with Usher Gallery/Lincoln big thanks Museum on the first part of an experimental summer school. Big thanks to for setting it up, It’s been an incredible opportunity to collaborate with young people from Lincoln and Boston, introducing them to creative and playful ways of thinking and making.

Together, we’ve explored:

· Data collection through rubbings and experimental photography

· Drawing, light discos, and light painting

· Experimental projection techniques

· Stop-frame animation created by the students themselves

One highlight was projecting light with mirrors onto a school’s roof while listening to Tubular Bells.

We’ve also painted with natural pigments made from local plants and flowers and explored mythical stories and characters from Lincoln Cathedral and the Boston Stump as inspiration for creating new creatures and critters.

Workshops were delivered in collaboration with , who once took part in these summer schools as a young person and returned as an artist to inspire the next generation.

To round things off, the group curated their ideas into a zine during a workshop with .ink , which will be published alongside an exhibition this October.

General Practice member .nick led the project, bringing our ethos of play and experimentation to a wider audience.

Here are a few examples of what we’ve been up to this past month. If you’re interested in any of these workshops, get in touch – several of our members are available to share them with the public.

Sneak peak happening this Friday come and join us.

Not to be missed !!!!!!

Is Forever Still the Last, Nothing
An exhibition of drawing and printmaking.

5-6th July 2025
Public view Friday 4th July 6-9pm
open on Saturday/Sunday 12-4pm

Is Forever Still the Last, Nothing is an exhibition of drawings and prints by 30 artists. Kate Genever’s charcoal wall drawing serves as a curatorial prompt and backdrop for the work of the other artists, all of whom are united by a focus on the primacy of mark-making through drawing and print. Each artist brings a unique approach to their craft and subject matter, and when viewed together against Genever’s drawing, they reveal the remarkable, shifting nature of artistic mark-making. This exhibition embodies the principle of Metempsychosis, a concept that inspired Genever as she created her charcoal drawing. Here, the essence of artistic expression transmigrates through various forms and mediums, reflecting the continuous evolution and rebirth of creative ideas. Just as souls move from one body to another, the artists’ marks transcend individual styles, creating a collective narrative that is ever-changing and eternal.

Artists: Catherine Bertola, Andrew Bick, Pavel Büchler, Jake And Dinos Chapman, Jayne Cooper, Matthew Collings, Emily Collyer, Emily Connor, Kate Genever, Lesley Halliwell, Richard Hamilton, Medina Hammad, Holy Hendry, Jantze Holmes, Sigrid Holmwood, Dean Kenning, Jutta Koether, David Mabb, Paul Mccarthy, Juliet Moore, Daksha Patel, Melody Phelan-Clark, Robert Rauschenberg, Benjamin Rostance, Assunta Ruocco, Jamie Shovlin, Bob and Roberta Smith, Harald Smykla, Tomoko Takahashi, Sarah Tutt, Dale Wells
