Automatic Change Giver
Studio Kind - Barnstaple

Saturday 16th August to Saturday 13th September 2025

Stuart Robinson works predominantly within a sculptural based practice often utilising elements of installation, moving image and performative events. The work explores the potential of materials to further narrative contexts, with the making and journey of the works an important part of his practice. Personal experience and histories, with elements of common, shared experience, form the catalyst of the ideas. Robinson’s work celebrates personal experience and histories with elements of common shared experience often creating visually rich and engaging environments while providing threads for the audience to unravel and explore. The work is often playful through word-play, in-jokes, bright colours or juxtapositions, it may seem to not take itself too seriously but this provides an accessibility to the work to explore the narratives at play.

Presented at Studio KIND is a solo exhibition of new and recent works exploring childhood experiences of seaside holidays, and the objects, locations, journeys and landscapes key to these. The works present an opportunity for contemplating loss, nostalgia and landscapes of fun – as well as the ways in which we seek joy and escape from the everyday – while celebrating the excitement and uniqueness of these sites.
