Drawing Shed @ PSL

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Looking forward to taking part in this at Project Space Leeds in August. If you’re in the area do come and say hi or take part in the late night event on Thursday 12th..

here’s the blurb: Emily Speed will create a cyclic drawing on the exterior of the shed over 4 days. Starting with proposals/sketches for structures – reminiscent of bulidings – which are prevalent in her work, Speed will then explore the physical impossibilities of these structures and the drawing will change to show construction, collapse and repair before perhaps collapsing again.

More info on the PSL website

and the Drawing Shed blog

Shows, books and the summer.

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Just a reminder that the Liverpool Art Prize is only on for one more week, so do go and see it if you can – I’m not sure whether the work will be kept afterwards as it is just so big.

A few projects are being plotted at the moment, but I am currently busy finishing my year as bursary holder at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I am making a limited edition book to mark the end of the year, so next week will be full of paper cuts and swear words.

The end of July and August are marked for the studio and some small projects, so looking forward to getting cracking on some new work.

Slow Magic

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

I am currently working on a small bookwork, a collaboration of sorts with Nathan Jones, who has been Poet-in-residence at the Bluecoat in Liverpool over the past year. The piece contains his poem, Slow Magic, written about the experience of looking around an exhibition (one of the same name held at the Bluecoat).

Based on a Turkish map fold, the multiple has a screen-printed grey board cover and unfolds, revealing the poem slowly, the creases of the paper acting as illustrations. It’s still very much under-construction (printing tomorrow) but will be available in a limited editon.

The work will be part of

BUILT

Monday, March 29th, 2010

I am in an exhibition at Rogue Project Space in Manchester, which opens this Thursday.built

Exhibition details:

BUILT
1st to 8th April 2010. Opening the 1st of April from 6-8pm

Kristy Campbell, Lisa Gorton, Catherine Pudner, Emily Speed, Anna Sikorska

BUILT brings together 5 Female artists from across the UK whose practises deal with specific aspects of the built environment. Through the use of Sculpture, Installation, Animation and Performance the selected artists respond to the structures which surround our daily activity; be that personal shelters and social networks, or our more public man made surroundings that are compounded in the cities we live in. They search for a space in the parameters between art and these constructed locations, subtly commenting; “Women build stuff too”.

Built is curated by Elizabeth Murphy.
Rogue Artists’ Studios & Project Space
66-72 Chapeltown St, Manchester, M1 2WH

Cardboard City

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

I spent last week and today working with school groups up in Blackpool for Collaborate and Make. I was commissioned by the Grundy Art Gallery there to create this exhibition and it will be on show until January 30th.

The children have made some great work, plus some of the buildings are big enough to go inside like dens! Grab a torch and go exploring, but be warned – some of the connecting tunnels are quite small so don’t get stuck. There is more cardboard available in the gallery, so visitors can make their own building to add to the city, or an item for the cardboard museum’s collection (it currently only has one cardboard dinosaur).
