| Inhabiting New Spaces An exhibition by emerging artists Exhibition dates 19th - 27th May Gallery Opening Times: 12 - 6pm Saturday and Sunday This exhibition is one of six undertaken by students on the Byam Shaw at Central Saint Martins Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art course. One main aspect of the course tries to make real the notion of how to negotiate a new space whilst exhibiting such a range of art works. The idea of a mixed show in this way also tackles the aim of cohesive representation of diversity and difference through the act of collaboration and mutual understanding. The students come from a variety of backgrounds and countries and over the year have come to understand both their similarities and differences which hitherto had not been experienced. |
| Dispensed With Brigit Connolly and Victoria Burgher Exhibition dates Dispensed With is an exhibition of new sculpture and installed artwork by London artists Victoria Burgher and Brigit Connolly. The work explores their interest in the expressive qualities of materials and displays an interesting contrast in terms of their approach to and interpretation of dispensable commodities. Victoria Burgher manipulates materials and reproduces objects in a visceral, raw response to the ways that people, ideas and innocence can become commodities, which are used and then discarded or dispensed with. Interested in the evocative and suggestive nature of ephemeral substances, and their ability to convey the passing of time, she uses them to illustrate futility, separation and loss. Work shown will include Battle Cry , a wall-mounted sculpture of hundreds of bread soldiers, where the fragility and decomposition of the material is exploited to contemplate the futility of war; Death Row , a suspended barbed-wire ladder; Apron String, an umbilical cord cast in waterclear resin to imbue this always discarded object with a sense of value and preciousness; Value: One Life , manillas (slave trade currency) cast in sugar, for its ephemeral qualities and cultural references; and Dereliction , cast caramel dolls (see below). Brigit Connolly adopts an empirical approach to the investigation of dispensed materials in order to explore how commodities are consumed and their effect on individuals. Inspired by exhibits in the museum of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, and displayed in the contemporary equivalent of Cabinets of Curiosities, this new work exploits the historical and material interface between the disciplines of ceramics and chemistry and their roots in alchemy. Mote is psychoanalytical inits treatment of vision and the perception of minor mutations. Veneer discusses the ingestion of trace elements and topical application for cosmetic presentation. Sustain and Pap look at the human-to-human transfer of sustenance, the involvement of science in nurturing and the idea of dispensing intimacy. |
| Waiting to see me again Peter Dew Exhibition dates Gallery Opening Times: Waiting to se me again is the title of an installation comprising several distinct works entering and leaving each others space. This ‘entering’ sometimes becomes intrusive, forcing an uncomfortable or harmonious intimacy between two or more of the pieces. This intrusion may occur through physical proximity one to another, and the connotations of objects/materials involved between adjacent pieces. Using a diverse range of materials such as plastics, steel, soap, twigs, seeds, Dew seeks to entice the repetitious recollections of past events. The sense of promise the viewer is given in Heaven scent (2006), but ultimately confronted by it's unattainability. Or, to provoke a lust for travel and the irrational absurdities of exploration present in First cone into space (2006). Dew's forms nestle or are set in absurd juxtapositions against unusual fabricated objects. These couplings then create and exist in their own universe. Peter Dew was born in Sussex in 1967 and lives & works in St.Gallen, Switzerland.Recent group exhibitions include ‘Happy to be that way’, Galerie Schönenberger, Kirchberg SG, CH (2004), ‘Sweet’, Crypt Gallery, Seaford, Sussex (2005), ‘Can you now return to from where you came’, Projektraum exex, St.Gallen, CH (2007). Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Voyager’, Galerie Dorfplatz, Mogelsberg SG, CH (2006), ‘60 miles per second now as we approach the first rings of rock and gas...aahhh where’s the planet!?’, Schaukasten, Herisau, CH (2007). |
| memory and dream Youngsun Park Exhibition dates Gallery Opening Times: memory and dream is an exhibition of video installation by Youngsun Park. The artist combines photography with moving image to create a video space installation work. The artwork combines time and space - between the past memory and the future of hopeful dream. Artist creates space between past and future. One explores this interim space as it dissolves both past and future. Both memory and dream have similar feelings. These feelings are felt in virtual reality. The memory is what we already have, and it cannot be changed. However, dream is something we can make. We are standing 'on' and 'at' the moment. This video installation represents the expression of 'memory' and 'dream'. Dr. Youngsun Park is a media artist who uses still image, moving image, performance, sound and space to create mixed media artwork. She has MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, and a PhD degree from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts, London. |
| An Inch to a Foot Sophia Hayes 8th - 16th September (Saturdays & Sundays only) 12- 6pm Participating in a diverse range of environments, Sophia Hayes uses installation and the moving image to explore notions of temporality and transience.

Sophia Hayes has takn part in exhibitions, residencies and public art projects and has shown her work in solo and group exhibitions in Britain, the Czech Republic, Spain, Sweden, France, Switzerland and the USA. Recent projects include 'Flock', a solo show in Weston Art Gallery, Cincinnati, USA; participation in the Jeleni Residency, Centre of Contemporary Arts, Prague, Czech Republic and 'Over The Top, Under The Rug' exhibition at Shore Institute of the Contemporary arts (SICA), New Jersey, USA. she is a part-time Senior Lecturer in Fine Arts at UWE, Bristol. |
| Jump Cuts Erika Winstone 5th Oct – 14th October Exhibition was open FRI, SAT & SUN 12 – 6pm, or by appointment jumpcuts@erikawinstone.net
An installation that cuts between the studio and the gallery, layering drawn paintings with video projections, both of which share the same source. Aspects of the studio space will be viewable from the gallery. The use of a split- site parallels the artist’s process of combining elements from different points in time while allowing her to develop the dual public and private nature of this work. A video work involving a group of children’s performances in a talent show has been re-filmed in the studio and edited with new footage. Individual performances are tracked over three years, accentuating their development and shifting sense of identity. During this process unexpected incidents, abandoned objects & the previous history of the work becomes part of its subject. Winstone uses video as a screen to capture the everyday and examine spontaneity and repetition. She draws repeatedly from related sequences, layering verbal and visual rhythms. She draws into paintings using materials such as silver wire or a drill, both of which change over time, tarnishing, dissolving or excavating the surface.The artist also presents paintings drawn while viewing a sequence of Westerns that hold personal significance for her in her own play with identity from a young age to the present. A sense of flux and the transitory permeate this presentation. |
