Yours until Niagara Falls

Season 2, Ep. 1

SERCHIA is a residential and not-for-profit gallery residing in a Victorian home on a hillside in Cotham, Bristol. Founded in the summer of 2021, we celebrate contemporary artists, who make visible what would otherwise never be seen. The gallery hosts an artist-in-residence programme, ‘Artwork from Home’ welcoming artists to stay with us, to create artwork unique to the space, and to interact with the community through a constellation of public and private events, artist talks, workshops, and openings.


Curated by Christine Marie Serchia, the gallery is named after her father Frank Serchia who famously built 'Serchia Drive', a driveway to their family's home in Youngstown, New York. Later, Frank built a boat dock on the Niagara River (Serchia Beach), and an outdoor dining area in the garden (Serchia Bistro).


Using the name Serchia is a reference to reimagining the idea of home and the way we understand what we see every day.

    We are on location! PS ventures out to the sticks on a quest to squeeze photographer, maker and educator Jamie Murray for all his wisdom. We cover everything from his debut photobook Folly to OFWGKTA. Enjoy and check out Jamie's book below! 'The photographs in Folly, the debut photobook from Jamie Murray, were born from a series of conversations with individuals who have been incarcerated. Discussions of what had led to punishment, navigating the prison environment and the transition to freedom flowed towards philosophy, ideas of discipline and punishment, intertwined with questions around natural order and spirituality. The resulting allegorical photographs in Folly refer, both directly and indirectly, to what was said and how these conversations affected Murray.'https://photobookstore.co.uk/collections/photo-editions/products/folly
