A Curriculum closing party

A Curriculum: A one day exhibition
Saturday 1 May, 12 – 6pm
Private view: Friday 30 April, 6 – 9pm

The A Curriculum artists-in-residence will hold a one-day exhibition to present work made in the two months spent at A Foundation, Liverpool. During their time on the residency the artists have attended a programme of talks, and received studio visits, by a number of artists and art professionals. Coming to the end of this period the artists would like to invite the public into their studios which will be returned to an exhibition space for the final day of their
residency.

BUILT

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.

Cardboard City

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).

‘From this filthy sewer pure gold flows’ is a group exhibition bringing together the work of a group of artists working in the north of England. Whilst working across various disciplines and following different conceptual agendas the works in the exhibition share a common bond through their celebration of the unusual, unpopular, absurd, redundant, discarded and disenfranchised.
Working in various media from photography to low-tech sculpture through to ‘gonzo’ style video and ‘no-tech’ assemblage the work in ‘from this filthy sewer…’ discusses ideas of wealth, status, loss, obsolescence and seeks to explore the relationship we have with the material world around us .

Many featured works seek to find the monument in the unmonumental as the artists search for beauty and potential in the ‘things’ that fill our everyday.
The exhibition features works by Emily Speed, Martin Hamblen, Stephen Forge, Susan Massey, Fiona Shaw, Sophie Lisa Beresford, Tom Ireland, Noel Clueit and Richard Cook.

Drawing

An exhibition opens here at the Salzamt on Friday 24th July. Most artists have bought work with them, but limited by Ryanair’s measly 15kg allowance and the fact that most of my work is squashable, I have nothing with me to show. This goes a long way to explaining the mess I have made in my studio frantically shredding cardboard and going through much paper as I make and reject drawings. Still it is good to be making lots and to be drawing so much. The space I will be using to show is a lovely little niche and images will follow of the show set up when I have settled on some suitable work. In the meantime, I also want to stress the joy and usefulness of having a 7ft pin board in your studio – fantastic stuff!
