09.2018 *a-n Resources: ALTERNATIVE ART EDUCATION
Interviews with New Contemporaries' Kirsty Ogg and Turps Banana's Marcus Harvey
"Accreditation is difficult because that's where the bureaucracy comes in. The bureaucracy that interferes with the closeness, the sense that you're an artist in a studio as opposed to it being an institution. We're trying to create an atmosphere of this is your professional practice, this is your studio, you invite us to come into it and it's yours for the time that you're here, it never closes."
- Marcus Harvey, a-n.co.uk/resource
"What we're fundamentally interested in is spaces being created for artists to develop and challenge practice. To think about what they're doing. Whether that is in a formal setting or an alternative setting, at the end of the day what's really important is the impact it has on an artist's future development and the impact it has on the work."

07.08.18 BOOK LAUNCH: ISTHISIT? Issue 5
Annka Kultys Gallery, London, 6-8pm | isthisitisthisit.com
"isthisit? issue 5 concerns the current state of surveillance, how offline and online life has become increasingly monitored and mediated by corporations and government bodies. Is a surveillance state something to be sought after, enabling the young and old to traverse dark streets late at night, or would this swiftly turn into a thinly veiled dystopian nightmare, built on elegant rhetoric subliminally insinuating that minority groups are the problem, forcing the lower classes out of cities and into oblivion? Or has this not already happened on a world wide scale? Is it ethically and morally correct to use a data-mining company to manipulate and seduce voters? Who makes the rules in a society that increasingly resembles a totalitarian paradise? The upcoming book seeks to investigate and question these fundamental and increasingly pertinent questions."

Alessandro Calabrese - A Failed Entertainment
"Twenty-one images formed of multiple digital photographs, overlaid and centrally aligned so that each composite recedes to black. Like window upon window of a desktop in overdrive, the frames pulse centrifugally on bright white pages so that it is hard for the eye to find a resting point. What legible data there is is so varied it seems arbitrary and, like redacted documents, the crux of the matter is obscured. Colours blend between layers to lurid effect. Visual information hits in a barrage (there are at least two figures pointing guns). Faces are anonymous – masked, concealed or obliterated entirely. Marble busts meld with the head of a primate in one particularly sinister amalgam..."

Yuri Pattison: "There needs to be more knowledge sharing within the London art community"
"Like Second Home, London Hackspace occupies two floors of a former industrial building, has communal workrooms and event spaces and is open to its members 24/7. However, its constitutional aims of transparency and social collaboration are manifested not in sleek, curving acrylic but in its wiki, its publicly shared chat forum, and its weekly open evenings. Here, mismatched chairs are more threadbare sofas than '60s design classics, and plant life is wildflower posies in old jam jars rather than a hydroponic garden – this is homeliness by default rather than design..."

Nicholas Cheeseman, Michaela Nettell and Rachel Wilberforce launch their artists' book with a thematic playlist by musician Padraig Whelan. The path that runs across is a limited edition Risograph work bringing together documentation from the artists' 2014 exhibition at Bond House Project Space, newly commissioned texts by writers Peter Johnson and Maru Rojas, artists' correspondence and literary excerpts from Louis Marin's Lectures traversières, Stephen Willats' Control and Johnson's 2010 PhD thesis On Heterotopia, amongst others. The publication traces the project's many and wandering lines of enquiry, exposing tensions between the desire for and the repression of nature in the built environment.

No-one Lives in the Real World is an exhibition about incongruous spaces, absurd structures and fragile worlds featuring artists who share an affinity for the use of collage in their work - both the literal cutting out and sticking down or the re-assembling of elements from different times and contexts including art history, architecture, literature, nature and technology. Through the mediums of sculpture, drawing, painting, print, photography, video and installation we encounter conversations about imperfection, fragility and otherness.
16.03.15 *NEWS FEATURE on a-n.co.uk
Melanie Manchot: "We defined the aesthetic framework together but the content is theirs"
"Each part of Twelve's intricate montage is based on a scene from an existing feature film that deals with addiction and recovery or with obsessive, traumatic behaviour (the carwash, for example, comes from Michael Haneke's 1989 The Seventh Continent). Recurring motifs of water and glass, reflections and shadows are connecting threads between and through these vignettes; journeys, cyclical movements and repetitions are used as metaphors for the complex and non-linear nature of recovery. Subjects rarely address or face the camera and often scenes are recorded as point of view shots, constructing a filmic space that we, the audience also inhabits..."

26.09.14 - 05.10.14 ECHO CHAMBER: Rosalind Davis, Caroline Lambard, Michaela Nettell
Bond House Gallery, ASC Studios, Goodwood Road, London | Evening Previews 26 September & 02 October, 6.30-8.30pm. Exhibition continues 27 September and 3-5 October, 1-5pm

Echo Chamber is an exhibition and exchange between three artists interested in the perceptual experience of space and form. 'Echo chamber' in this case refers to a gallery in which ideas, processes and materials are brought together to reverberate one against another, in which shared ways of working can be observed and new thoughts and practices set in motion.
Rosalind Davis, Caroline Lambard and Michaela Nettell work across installation, painting, collage and film responding to the built environment around them. Mapping ideas in 2 and 3 dimensions, they explore the possibilities of existing materials and spaces, and their reconfiguration into new structures and forms.
Davis' paradoxical landscapes imagine a complex set of possibilities for both physical and psychological space. Taking the rational geometries of 1950s and ‘60s architecture as a starting point, her paintings, drawings and photographs fracture and reconfigure familiar forms of Modernism, creating structures that are instead disorienting, irrational, fallible. Her large-scale thread installations model enigmatic, suspended thresholds – routes into or out of spaces. Window- and door-like apertures are suggested in her taut cotton lines, which play off hard-edged geometry with a feminized sense of materiality.
Lambard's site-specific installations and sculptures examine the relationship of form and space. Directly arising from a materials-based practice, her work explores the perception of three-dimensionality through material, scale and structure. Central is the manner in which form comes to be: how structures develop in response to their environment and the physical possibilities and limitations of the material. Her working process of incremental change and responsive feedback reflects those found widely in everyday life from plant growth through to behavioural patterns detected in big data.
Nettell's current body of work is inspired by Cedric Price’s visionary design for the Snowdon Aviary at London Zoo. Glass sculptures, Super8 film, photographic prints and collages explore the aviary’s transparent, tetrahedral structure, playing with shape and form in a way that confuses or conflates real and imagined space. The framing of landscape by/within man-made geometries, relationships between photographic (2D) and physical (3D) space; and visual and poetic associations between Modernist architectures and their surroundings are ongoing concerns in her practice.
In bringing their work together, the artists trace lines of convergence from these contexts, themes and approaches. Meeting points are revealed and new trajectories suggested for their individual practices. The exhibition closes with an in-dialogue event where the artists, audience and guests from fields including architecture and sound design are invited to discuss the works in the show and the concept of gallery as echo chamber.

05.08.14 - 26.09.14 THE STARRY MESSENGER: SEVEN ARTIST FILMMAKERS
VOID, Patrick Street, Derry, Northern Ireland | PV 02.08, 19.30-22:00

"This show has evolved from an interest in the 'perceptual moment' of film, a borrowed phrase that is intended to position filmmaking and film watching as an expanded way of thinking in a visual language not limited by strict rationality and simple causality, which engages with the materiality of film as a manifestly analogue physical and chemical process. The seven selected artist filmmakers engage with what is made visible and invisible in the emulsion and grain and lights and darks of each unique celluloid print, and explore the materiality of the film medium through physical manipulation of film and alternative processes. This expanded understanding of the analogue film-making process has run parallel to a growing awareness that the survival of analogue film-making itself has come to resemble a campaign for a critically endangered species – as film processing labs are seemingly no-longer commercially viable and are closing – and so filmmakers, artists, and critics across the world have had to come together to campaign for institutional support to safeguard the ability to manufacture, shoot, process, print, make and project film."

"...The range of works in Topography Disarranged demonstrates the continuing pull of landscape as a contested site for contemporary artists. Recurring themes, addressed in very different ways, keep re-appearing: the taken-for-grantedness of the everyday rural and urban environments that not only draw attention in time-honoured fashion to the potential in overlooked spaces, but which betray an underlying anxiety about the fragility of these spaces; the particularities of place; and the importance of place as a holder of memory are all present here."

"You who build gardens, don't make parks or green spaces, make margins. Don't make leisure and game parks, make places of jouissance, make closures that are openings. Don't make imaginary objects, make fictions. Don’t make representations, make empty spaces, gaps, make neutrality." (Marin, 1992)
The path that runs across brings together work by three artists whose practices explore the binaries of nature/artifice; expression/control; and imagination/matter. For three months Cheeseman, Nettell and Wilberforce have engaged in a reciprocal creative process, responding to each other's research and practice in a three-way dialogue focusing on the manipulation of nature within the urban environment.
This has, in turn, informed the development of new works and the configuration of the gallery as a test bed, a controlled environment in which to identify common themes, structures and forms. Sequential photo-studies of concrete grids in a Modernist garden; a stop-motion animation of a sea buoy run aground; a projected film negative revealing the hexagonal tessellations of a city tree grate; and sculptures combining carved tree stumps with found plastic objects are arranged to create a new and playful landscape typified by the rhythmic patterns of grids and frames, intervals, fissures and spaces between.
The project's title adapts Louis Marin's analogy of the Rue Traversière (the road that runs across) in his discussion of gardens' unexpected, contradictory designs¹, while reflecting the pathways that have opened up between and through the artists' conversations. thepaththatrunsacross.tumblr.com

In October 2012 Jane Cheadle, Jenna Collins, Michaela Nettell, Lucy Parker & Anna Pickering undertook a 5-day residency at the Barbican Pit Theatre using a structure based on an equal division of time to think through ideas about, and the practice of, artistic collaboration when everyone in the group is an artist and nobody is interested in chasing a synthesis of thought or practice. This pamphlet documents the week's activity and is accompanied by an essay by Martine Rouleau.

"These works engage with amplifications of detail, postlapsarian eulogies, and medieval sensibilities, which explore acts of perception and acts of consciousness of and within the natural world. It is a selection of moving image works, predominantly from recent years, which engage with elements of natural landscape, of seascape, of the cultivated natural world of the garden and the creep of the natural world within an urban wasteland. But ultimately these works do more than explore images of elements of the natural world; these works revolve around the central concern of an exploration of the 'perceptual moment' and its relation to the moment or act of consciousness: there is potential within these works, as artist Samantha Rebello has put it, for thought to take place within the very construction of film itself."

With: KATE BOWEN / GRAHAM CROWLEY / ROSALIND DAVIS / JULIE HENRY / KATE MURDOCK / CHARLOTTE NORWOOD / ANNABEL TILLEY / RACHEL WILBERFORCE
"Part of a knowledge-sharing initiative ASC have created a hub within a hub at the centre of its building at Goodwood Road. The intention is to create a thriving new model for studio groups and the uniqueness of this network is that every artist is at different stages of their career from Goldsmiths new graduate Charlie Norwood to eminent painter and ex RCA professor of painting Graham Crowley. Studio 60 is also home to ZeitgeistArtsProjects".
03.01.12 *EXHIBITION REVIEW: HILARY LLOYD at Sadie Coles, London
Read the full review online here.
"...as with 'Striped Man', the subjects here are less important than the abstractions they give rise to as the fractured images loop, pan and rotate in hypnotic beat. In contrast though, the pace is quick, striated; the works describe fleeting glances rather than lingering gazes, sounds of mechanical clicks and shutter releases perpetuating the rhythm."

INFINITE INSTANCES: Studies and Images of Time

05.04.11 *EXHIBITION REVIEW: Axel Antas: NEW TO NATURE at Rokeby Gallery, London
Read the full review online here.
"The photographs explore relationships between man and nature, nature and artifice – enacting a push-pull exchange in which Antas both dominates the wilderness and is overwhelmed by it. In a puff of smoke he is at once sorcerer and apparition: master of the scene (the shutter-release cord betrays the presence of his camera beyond the frame), yet also excluded from it."

8mm film installation Jungtis in group show curated by Nick Kaplony at Core Gallery.
"Psychometry also known as token-object reading, or psychoscopy, is a form of extra-sensory perception characterized by the ability to make relevant associations from an object of unknown history by making physical contact with that object ... This exhibition brings together a collection of objects, images and ideas from artists who explore the immaterial through the physical object, responding to it in a way that makes the intangible qualities of an object visible and/or possible to experience. As such these practitioners can be seen as undertaking a form of Psychometry."

21.06.10 *EXHIBITION REVIEW: Melanie Jackson: THE URPFLANZE at The Drawing Room
Read the full review online here. Image: Still from Acéra by Jean Painlevé, 1972
"Particularly arresting are three giant papier-mâché gourds sprawling on the gallery floor. Familiar forms fantastically mutated, Jackson concedes references to Cinderella – I think of Jean Painlevé's 1972 film Acéra, a study of hermaphrodite molluscs in which tiny marine creatures seen through microscope lenses appear as monumental as sea lions."
