Usurp Art is a space to experiment, reflect and create
Usurp Art is raising funds for its next two-year programme “Process Performance Production” to support new work by an exciting array of experimental artists, composers, musicians and performers. We are also refurbishing our space in May and are endeavouring to update this site with the full documentation of our activities to date. Check our listings for the various off-site projects we are involved with currently and do look through our website for previous projects and exhibitions.
Usurp recently completed contemporary art, moving image and sound programmes for the charities Mind, Mencap, Harrow Carers and Rethink which inspired and enabled service users to create and experiment with new materials and concepts. We can organise and manage similar programmes for organisations and groups. Contact us for more details.
Subscribe to our mailing list, join our Facebook group to receive invites and watch videos of recent performances on our You tube channel.

Curtis Ackie – “Goldfish Tears”
Usurp member Curtis Ackie has his third book published "Goldfish Tears". A perturbed bachelor is beleaguered by his misbehaving shadow; a reclusive alchemist builds a machine to right his wife’s disfigurement; the sun forgets to rise over a sleepy town in the middle of nowhere. Equal parts haunting and outlandish, and beautifully illustrated by Lorena Matic, Goldfish Tears is an enchanting collection of short stories from the author of The Door to Freedom. read more»
