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]

gollark: Well, you could find other things to do, such as reading fiction, or games, which are probably less harmful than user engagement optimizers with algorithmically driven feeds like most social media.
gollark: Oh, right, you can do that.
gollark: What?
