In June 2024, Ebb Collective will be joining GMK to present Supporting Material – a site-specific
residency and show, exploring natural and industrial support structures in relation to collective
making and regenerative thinking.
Embarking on a split residency between Croatia and the UK, they\u2019ll work together in full flow,
before reaching low tide, when an edited display of work will be assembled, revealing sediments
of their making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their residency, Ebb Collective are exploring and emulating modular systems designed
to support, dismantle and adapt. How can these structures support us in building an organically
paced and connected practice? How can they help us construct a methodology for collective
making that\u2019s both regenerative and nurturing?

Taking scaffolding as a central theme for their residency, their reference point is the symbiotic
relationship between the city cathedral\u2019s elaborate scaffold system, the eroding limestone it
encompasses and the ongoing reconstruction works taking place.

Their research has developed into an exploration of natural support structures interconnecting
with sites of mass industry and construction. Key sites of interest trace a production line
meandering from the disused Bizek limestone quarry, to the dilapidated Cementara Jedinstvo
cement works, through to the city centre\u2019s cathedral.

Through research and contextualisation within the city of Zagreb, Ebb Collective\u2019s site-specific
installation will be both archival and evolving. Processes of researching, foraging and collaging
produce iterative matter, both found and fabricated. Temporal arrangements of ephemeral
matter will be punctuated by modified hardware and construction materials – the possibility of
deconstruction and reassemblage remaining as ever-present elements.

The installation will be a blended, visual representation of Ebb\u2019s creation process, their time on
the residency and experiences in the city of Zagreb.

A slow and sustainable approach to making ripples through their practice; working intuitively,
aligning with natural cycles and focusing on the reuse of both ideas and materials, ensuring
projects flow into and throughout one another.

Links to GMK\u2019s working methodologies can be found through focus on self-management,
process led projects and the deconstruction of linear, hierarchical structures. Ebb\u2019s practice not
only aligns with GMK\u2019s working model, but also interweaves the site, past projects and
publications into their making process. This will be evident in both their installation and the
workshops they\u2019ll produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
