Bloc Projects

Bloc Projects is delighted to introduce our new Members Edit initiative, where limited and special edition works by artists within our Membership are presented and sold in our reception space. ⁠
⁠
Relief, our second Members Edit, showcases new work by Victoria Sharples (). Her series of sculptural reliefs draw on the spatial and symbolic languages of funerary architecture—altarpieces, tombs, votives, and temples. The collection foregrounds the structural relationship between the body and architecture, interior and exterior, support and surface.⁠
⁠
The works build on Sharples' recent projects, Heap (2025), which featured inverted reliefs cast from the surface of an ancestor’s headstone, and their solo exhibition Cut, Gutter, Section (Threshold, 2026), which explored planar and volumetric structures across anatomical and architectural registers. For Bloc Projects, this architectonic approach continues through the production of composite forms in which support and surface are co-constitutive. Here, Victoria attends to Carlo Scarpa’s premise of cladding, where the underlying structure and façade are inseparable.⁠

📅 25 June - 14 August ⁠
🕰️ Opening Hours: Wed-Sat, 11-5pm ⁠
📍 Bloc Projects Reception Space ⁠
__⁠
Victoria Sharples is an artist, researcher & curator based in Sheffield. The works produced as part of their practice often take the form of site-specific sculptures, time-sensitive performances, and composite/architectural arrangements. For the past few years, they have been attentive to the ‘content’ and ‘container’ of sculptural forms, fabricating skin and shell-like surfaces that hold together positive–negative space. The processes applied are archaeological and autopsical, performing spatio-temporal dissections of site, architecture and body.

It's the final week to catch Art is Ours, Mine and Yours! in our gallery 💫⁠

The exhibition brings artist Assunta () and her daughter Lou’s studio into the gallery. What started as drawing and making together in their home/studio during the 2020 lockdown has grown into a wider art club, bringing children, parents and carers into shared processes of making through drawing, digital print and textiles. ⁠
⁠
⁠Featuring soft digitally printed textiles, collaborative drawings, workshop materials and works made with other children and parents/carers, the exhibition is an open environment that invites visitors of all ages to participate, spend time with the works and draw. ⁠
