Houserules is a collaborative project initiated by Nadia Berri, and executed with participating artists Tatiana Baskakova, Victoria Burgher, Terry Dynes, Ben Faga, Matthew Hammond, Jeremy Lee, Jayne Lloyd, Kate Mahony, Erifili Missiou, Cristina Pedreira, Daniella Valz-Gen and Rob Brown (+ guest artists).
From February 4th, 12 artists occupied the fifth floor of a largely unoccupied office building in East India Docks, as part of creative director and curator Caitlin Mavroleon’s ambitious project, OFFICE SESSIONS, in which different art projects will activate 100,000 sq ft of empty office space. Over 42 days the artists engaged in the development of constantly evolving work for, and in direct response to 20,000 sq ft of a deserted office floor. HOUSERULES embraces the idea of indeterminacy within the restrictions of the fifth floor to bring, but also to question, freedom, action and play, in the context of an exhibition and also the given space. The participating artists work in a variety of media, including performance, film, installation, sculpture, text and sound. 

 Matthew Hammond and Cristina Pedreira developed their work for Houserules from their residence in Manchester.
