Rachael House
Rachael House is a British multi-disciplinary artist, based in London and Whitstable.[1][2][3]
Her work has been displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum[4] and she was guest artist at the "Feminism and Gender" exhibition at the New Hall Art Collection.[5]
She is a co-director, along with Jo David, of the artist-run space Space Station Sixty-Five in south east London, which opened in 2002.[2][6]
She produced an autobiographical comic called Red Hanky Panky in the 1990s, which has been described as "part of the thriving queerzine scene".[7]
Her work often takes the form of events. At "Apathy's a Drag" in May 2012 people were invited to create and float model boats on the lake in Southwark Park in a commemoration of the Sex Pistols' river trip of 1977.[8][9] She has organised "Peckham Pet-Tastic": "a fancy dress picnic for dogs" which "is a celebration of our creativity, our relationships with our pets, with each other and with Peckham", and similar events have been held in Blackpool, Bexhill-on-Sea, Lewisham and Hå in Norway.[10] In 2010 she organised the "Peckham Peacocks", a festival for mobility scooter users.[11]
Early life and education
House has a BA in Philosophy from the University of Kent (1983), a BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins School of Art (2004) and an MA in Fine Art from Camberwell School of Art (2011).[2]
