PaintLounge London 2017 was part of the Sluice Biennial 2017
PaintLounge was developed by painters from Contemporary British Painting and PaintUnion who brought together 40 plus painters to discuss and celebrate painting at Sluice Biennial 2017 in Hackney. PaintUnion, founded by Rebecca Byrne and Liz Elton, organises exhibitions and talks about painting. Wendy Saunders and Paula MacArthur organised this side-project under the name of Contemporary British Painting's popular social media entity PaintBritian. We extended an open invitation to come along to four days of exhibition and scheduled talks with invited painters and art professionals about contemporary painting and painting practices. We aimed to create an informal atmosphere whilst allowing plenty of room for in-depth conversations around contemporary painting, with work from the artist speakers included in a salon hang in our space.
