Field Notes
A Chisenhale Studios initiative supporting early-stage curatorial practice, offering emerging curators the opportunity to develop artist-led exhibitions through studio engagement, collaboration, and diverse approaches to contemporary art-making. Culminating in an exhibition at Chisnehale Studios in Project Space Four.
The first iteration of Field Notes is developed in collaboration with Race Car, a curatorial project by Connie Ashford and Katya Hudson.
Connie Ashford is a multi-disciplinary curator based in London. She has experience in both high-end contemporary art galleries and large-scale commercial production. Her curatorial portfolio includes organising group exhibitions for emerging artists and collaborating on major projects at Towner Eastbourne, most recently curating Gathered Around The Sun.
Katya Hudson is a Ukrainian-British curator and writer who explores the intersections between contemporary art and its political, geographic, and historical contexts.
Previously, she has worked with Basel Social Club, contributing to curatorial research, production, and artist support. She has also worked with Fitzpatrick Gallery on exhibitions across historic sites. She is the author of You Will Feel it in the Price of Bread (Muswell Press, 2022). Currently, she is undertaking an MA in Writing at the Royal College of Art.
In October 2025, the pair launched their curatorial project Racecar with an eponymouse exhibition and performance in London.
