Zoey Chang
I'm Zoey Chang, an independent curator, one half of Muddy Mudlarks:
Muddy Mudlarks is a nomadic artist collective focused on utilising abandoned or unconventional venues as contemporary exhibition and event spaces, through making venues typically with other usages temporarily available as contemporary art spaces, we break all stigmas of contemporary art as a expensive and hard to understand academic subject. By getting rid of boring white walls, we also lower the costs of exhibition for both the artists and the curators to the minimum. Doing so, we aim to combat both the cost of living crisis, and the unrealistic beauty standard for contemporary art venues, creating our temporary anarchy meeting spots.

Lost Art of a Little Earthling
Dates: 26/04/2025 — 02/05/2024 | Venue: St Margaret’s House, 21 Old Ford Rd., London E2 9PL | City: London
‘Lost Art Of a Little Earthling’ is an exhibition characterised by vague and unfamiliar terms: earthly, primordial, dark and strange. Through elaborate tales of woe and wonder, we return to a lost and primitive world, where clods of dirt and pebbles are treasured, and residual dreams of youth float to surface. Our artists sketch a passing shadow, before it bobs off, into the dying sun, over the momentary horizon because, after all, did it ever happen?

Muddy Mudlarks 1.0
Dates: 23/09/2022 — 26/09/2022 | Venue: Candid Arts Trust, 3 Torrens Street, London | City: London
Funded by Totally Thames. The river reveals its lost and found possessions as the tide ebbs and flows. As mudlarking brings people into tangible contact with history, this exhibition celebrates how the foreshore constantly renews itself, allowing personal and historical narratives to resurface. From ancient to contemporary debris, mudlarking inspires the works of selected artists. By reimagining the ever-evolving space of the foreshore, audiences experience an intimacy with this process of meditation and discovery. This exhibition features 14 artists based in the United Kingdom. Selected artists are mudlarking and river enthusiasts. They are current fine art students and recent BA and MA graduates from Slade School of Fine Art, Royal College of Art, University of Hertfordshire, UAL Central St Martins and Camberwell College of Art.
