The 'Burbs is a story of paranoia about new neighbours in a typical affluent American suburb. Art and Rumsfield are out to find out the truth about Ray's new neighbours, the mysterious Klopeks. Ray isn't as quick to jump on the bandwagon but this soon changes once their elderly neighbour Walter suddenly disappears one night. What are the strange noises coming from the Klopeks basement and why are they moving around a lot at night?

Anna Dennis (soprano)
Matthew Brook (baritone)
Jonathan Williams (conductor)

In his Requiem, Brahms places humanity at the centre, offering solace to the living and bereaved. It is a profoundly moving piece, traversing a journey from earthly suffering through faith, consolation and ultimately joy.

Written as a companion piece to the Brahms Requiem, Sea and Stars, from composer Julian Philips with text by Simon Christmas, was commissioned by Ealing Choral Society to mark their 50th Anniversary. Philips and Christmas draw on the power of choral music as an expression of the spiritual to deliver a humanist fable for the 21stcentury. A traveller seeking the meaning of his own life on earth visits the fiery ‘hell’ around an undersea vent, where life began, and the starry spheres of ‘heaven’ which, perfect and unchanging as they may be, are therefore lifeless. He learns that meaning lies neither in the origin nor the destination, but in the journey from one to the other.

“Just as Brahms takes us on a journey from grief to consolation in his Requiem, so our traveller in Sea and Stars journeys from torment to enlightenment in his search for meaning. We have aimed to evoke visualisation, thought and emotion by harnessing the unique ability of the voice to be used both instrumentally and to convey text.” Julian Philips

This will be the World Premiere performance of Sea and Stars, with support from the Britten Pears Foundation.

Pre-Concert talk on Sea and Stars by Julian Philips and Simon Christmas at 6.45pm.

Inspired by the work of Newcastle University’s Institute for Ageing and Health , which seeks to challenge the negative perceptions about older people in society, Coming of Age: the art and science of ageing features new commissions by Andrew Carnie, Annie Cattrell and Jennie Pedley and further works by Susan Aldworth, Carla Bromhead, Valerie Laws, Melanie Manchot, Susie Rea, Martin A Smith and Stelarc. It opens at GV Art in London on 1 June.

To complement both the exhibition and the vitality currently infused in this Olympic city, the Institute will host a flagship discussion called The Long Run – Life is a Marathon at Royal Society of Arts in London on 12 July.

At the heart of the exhibition is a collaboration between scientists at the Institute for Ageing and Health and artist Andrew Carnie, sculptor Annie Cattrell and artist and physiotherapist, Jennie Pedley. The latest technologies will enhance an interactive visitor experience, including the chance for visitors to contribute their own Words of Wisdom to an ongoing and original artwork, capturing and cross-referencing public perceptions of ageing.

Andrew Carnie is producing a large scale film installation revealing the human body as it undergoes the subtle changes that cause normal ageing. Annie Cattrell’s sculptures will be examining how memory is stored within our brains. Jennie Pedley’s series of short ‘shadow’ films, meanwhile, examine the day-to-day processes of scientists investigating ageing research alongside the daily activities of older people.

Built around the themes of biology, frailty and vitality, works in the exhibition explore why we age: the effects of genetics and the environment on the ageing process; of dementia and age-related diseases and disorders affecting movement, sight and hearing; as well as celebrating the value of wisdom and experience as older people pass on knowledge to the younger generation.

Biology is referenced through Susie Rea’s work exploring the lifestyle patterns of siblings over 90; Susan Aldworth and Valerie Laws’ work engages with the frailty conferred by dementia; while Melanie Manchot’s Liminal Portraits (1999-2000) and Carla Bromhead’s intensely observed pencil drawings and prints celebrate the vitality of the older body and face.


Coming of Age was originally curated for Newcastle University at Great North Museum, Hancock, by Lucy Jenkins: “This exhibition is the first artistic response to age and the ageing process researched in collaboration with ageing researchers. Its aim is to celebrate the achievement that is our increased life expectancy, and also to encourage people to think about the opportunities, challenges and responsibilities this brings to our society.”

Lucy Jenkins together with Robert Devcic, Director, GV Art, bring this revised and refreshed version of the exhibition to London in 2012, EU Year of Active Ageing, together with a wide range of cross-disciplinary workshops, performances and talks at the gallery throughout the exhibition period.

Claerbout situates his striking work between the complex worlds of digital photography and film, investigating this intermediate area in concise and thought-provoking installations. Claerbout’s films often depict everyday activities or events, which once digitally manipulated negate the linear passage of time. His work questions the viewer’s conventional ideas of time and narrative processes.

A programme of educational events will accompany this exhibition, including 'Beholding Video: Motion in the Picture Gallery' a talk by David Campany, Thursday June 21, 7 pm, £6/£5 conc. email events@parasol-unit.org to book.

Born in 1969, David Claerbout is one of the most internationally acclaimed video artists of his generation. He currently lives and works in Antwerp and Berlin.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a comprehensive publication, co-produced with WIELS, Brussels, distributed by Ludion.

Brahms: Violin Concerto

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Andrew Litton
Violin: Nigel Kennedy

Nigel Kennedy’s mass appeal and unique talent has brought a fresh perspective to the classical music world, and his extraordinary and varied career has given him a remarkable reputation as the all-time, best selling classical violinist. Brahms’ Violin Concerto is an ideal showpiece for such a charismatic performer from its noble opening movement and gorgeous central Adagio, to an energetic finale.

Highly esteemed conductor Andrew Litton provides the perfect musical partner to Nigel Kennedy, and boasts a wealth of acclaimed performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, including a recent appearance at the BBC Proms described by The Times as a performance with ‘great style and panache’.]]>http://www.theseer.info/25044.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25044.htmlWed, 30 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTWed, 30 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1001
Wednesday 30th May 2012, 7pm

Although much has been written about the economic and political origins of the upheavals in the Arab World, little has been said about their demographic dynamics. Youssef Courbage’s ground-breaking book, A Convergence of Civilisations – The Transformation of Muslim Societies Around the World, co-authored with the eminent French anthropologist Emmanuel Todd and published in 2007, foresaw inevitable change in the region through the uniquely original perspective of demography and anthropology, anticipating profound change on the basis of, for example, fundamental shifts in levels of female literacy levels, drops in the national birth rates, changing marital patterns, evolving family structures etc.

Youssef Courbage will be discussing this ground-breaking work in light of the Arab upheavals, as well as considering the Palestinian and Israeli conflict from a demographer’s perspective.

Born in Aleppo in 1946, Youssef Courbage spent his early life in Beirut where he studied Economics and Sociology at the St-Joseph and Lebanese Universities and later graduating in Demography and Urban Planning from the Sorbonne and Dauphine Universities.

Since then his career has mainly been devoted to demographic research and training, most notably with the UN. In 1990 he was appointed first as researcher then research director at the National Institute of Demographic Studies in Paris (INED). He has remained a member of the Institute, except in 2003-2005 when he headed the department of contemporary studies at French Institute of the near East in Beirut (IFPO).

The thick paintings are made of layers and layers of paint, built up like the surface of the earth or like skin. The canvases have a history underneath, if you were to excavate into the surface like a geologist you would unearth the traces of alternate paths, earlier images and different stories. Some have been in the stages of completion for years. The passage of time is encapsulated in all that paint.  She often builds up transparent layers of colour that create a substantial structure to refract light and nearly bury the traces of decision-making. These have an element of mystery, of nearly hidden things; you must take a moment and really look. 
The spontaneous paintings are more lively and immediate and have colour relationships and mark making as the primary concerns. These are painterly paintings that feel bigger than the canvas. There is both a spatial complexity and a fluidity. The colours seem to come alive; the relationship between two colours next to each other is like a new colour itself, a third colour.

‘Wildness challenges the unity of the symbol, the transcendent totalisation binding the image to that which it represents. Wildness pries open this unity and in its place creates slippage...Wildness is the death space of signification.’
- Michael Taussig Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man

EXHIBIT B takes inspiration from anthropologist Michael Taussig’s work on shamanism - interpreting it to look at art and a relationship with material, magic and ritual. Artists evoke a sense of slippage - the wild infiltrating the urban, through the symbols and scenes in their practices: the multi-sensual, the dream, the wild, the relic, the ritual.

Ahdaf Soueif will provide notes from the Egyptian revolution with special reference to Edward W Said. “Everything is fragmented and fluid and unstable and hopeful and dangerous. We have insights and connections and blank spaces and questions. ‘Mina’s Banner’ is the phrase I need to use now – but what will it mean by the time we reach May?” Ahdaf Soueif, Cairo, 5 February 2012

Literary critic, writer, activist, and spokesperson for the Palestinian cause, Edward Said (1943-2003) was one of the most influential intellectuals of his time. This lecture series expands, and aims to promote, his sprit through the continued examination of the links between culture and politics in the Middle East and across the world.

Ahdaf Soueif is the author of the bestselling novels The Map of Love (shortlisted for the Booker Prize) and In the Eye of the Sun, Mezzaterra: Fragments from the Common Ground, a collection of essays positioned at the intersection of culture and politics, and I Think of You, a collection of short stories. She writes regularly for the Guardian in the UK and al-Shorouk in Egypt, and is the founder of the Palestine Festival of Literature, PalFest.

SHOUT! is a swinging new 60's musical magazine that brings back the beautiful birds and smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60's.


From cover-to-cover SHOUT! travels in time from 1960 to 1970 chronicling the dawning liberation of women. Just as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Cilla Black and Lulu were independent women with major careers, English and American women were redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about gender. SHOUT! reflects that change through the unforgettable music of our time.


Though SHOUT! wears its heart on its sleeve, it also has its tongue planted firmly in its cheek. Everything from the period is recreated - from the fashions and the dances to the music and the hair; all of which is heightened and made just a tiny bit larger.


SHOUT! features terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as TO SIR WITH LOVE, DOWNTOWN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME, THOSE WERE THE DAYS, SON OF A PREACHER MAN and GOLDFINGER.


With its irresistable blend of foot-stomping songs, eye-popping fashions and psychedelic dances, this fantastically, hilarious musical will make you want to throw your head back and SHOUT!


THE PRODUCTION IS BEING STAGED TO RAISE URGENTLY NEEDED FUNDS FOR RENOVATION TO THE ROMFORD WAR MEMORIAL SOCIAL CLUB.

about the artists

After early training in classical and contemporary dance, Rosalind Crisp studied release, BMC® and Contact Improvisation at the EDDC in Arnhem, Holland.She created the Omeo Dance studio in Sydney as a site for her choreographic research for over 10 years, receiving a number of awards and a choreographic fellowship from the Australia Council (1999-2001). Her company is based in Paris where she is a choreographic associate of the Atelier de Paris - Carolyn Carlson(2004-2012) and teaches and performs throughout Europe. ?My work has been evolving, since 2005, in the context of a project I call d a n s e. This is a way of working with the body that sits within and is informed by post-modern questionings about the body, improvisation and composition that have been developing, particularly in the United States, since the 1960s. For a long time I improvised alone in the studio in order to produce materials for future pieces. d a n s e began when I was no longer interested in movement as such, but in the way I was producing it. Then I felt that this new process had its own autonomy. I came up with the first scores for d a n s e simply by naming what it was I was doing, and that even now are still foundations for the work.

Andrew Morrish began performance improvisational work, part time, with Al Wunder’s ‘Theatre of the Ordinary’ in Melbourne in 1982.?In 1987 he co-founded the improvisational movement theatre duet ‘Trotman and Morrish’ with Peter Trotman. Together they performed 14 self funded seasons in Melbourne in addition to numerous other one-off performances (including the Greenmill Dance Festival, Melbourne in 1994, 1995 and 1997). They also performed in the United States, most notably in the New York Improvisation Festival in 1995 and 1997. In 1999 they performed in ‘Antistatic’ at the Performance Space (Sydney) and in ‘Dancers are Space-eaters’ at PICA (Perth).?In 2000 he moved to Sydney and based his teaching and solo performance practice at Omeo Dance Studio. In 2002 he relocated his work in Europe and now teaches and performs extensively in France, Nederlands, Germany, Switzerland and the U.K.

Reynaldo Young is an award winning composer, arranger, guitarist, teacher and workshop leader. He has written concert pieces - many of which have been performed worldwide - as well as music for dance, theatre, and video; he is also an active player in the free-improvisation scene in the UK and Europe. As founder and director of the ‘cardboard citizens new music ensemble’ - the UK’s only homeless people’s professional avant-garde music group - he has written, directed and performed contemporary and improvisatory music with mixed ensembles of professional and non-professional musicians. In 2005 Reynaldo was appointed Musical Director of the Cardboard Citizens theatre company. He lives in London.

Antigone Avdi was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, where she studied and worked as an architect. As a child she attended classes in ballet (RAD syllabus), but in 1993, having completed her postgraduate architectural studies, she began her professional training in contemporary dance at LCDS, in London, where she still lives. Now, as well as performing, Antigone is involved in the devise of new work and curates Agony Art at Chisenhale Dance Space. She has worked amongst others with Rosemary Lee, Rahel Vonmoos, dANTE OR dIE, Carla Onni, YELP danceco., Frauke Requardt, Rachel Gomme, Naked Fish Productions, Cie.Felix Ruckert, Stephan Koplowitz.

This is the first in a series of exhibitions wherein the gallery invites two artists to exhibit a selection of new work alongside each other. The purpose is not to seek to unify two distinct and different practices, but rather to open up a dialogue between the artists, and invite the visitor to compare and contrast the work of two contemporary artists, and provoke discussion and debate.

The exhibition looks at two contemporary painters: Geraldine Gliubislavich, a VEGAS-represented artist based in Brussels, and Hrvoje Majer, a Croatian artist living and working in London, and examines their different approaches to painting.

Both graduates of Central St Martins School of Art, the two artists have shown extensively in the UK and internationally. Winner of the 2009 Jerwood Contemporary Painting Prize, Gliubislavich has had solo shows in London, Brussels and Amsterdam and shown at such prestigious venues as the Royal College of Art.

Majer has shown his works in Italy, Croatia and The UK. Since being included in Young Croatian Artists at Galleria Contemporanea Lissone, Italy, Majer has had solo shows in both Croatia and London.]]>http://www.theseer.info/24803.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/24803.htmlThu, 17 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1161

Diane Maclean uses scale in her sculptures to explore the open space of the natural evironment. Her work responds to the inherent qualities of light and how these can reflect and refract across different surfaces like polished stainless steel to bring the surrounding area to public attention. It is this relationship of object, place and material
that continues to inspire Maclean. Often collaborating with scientists to investigate new

Over the last three decades, Eisenberg has forged a unique body of films that have become internationally recognised for expanding the boundaries between traditions of the personal avant-garde film and historical documentary. This screening programme will focus on Eisenberg’s four thematically connected films addressing the on-going implications of the events of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Displaced Person (1981) plays with the conventions of historic documentary film to draw attention to our passive reception of knowledge. By overlaying re-photographed footage of occupied France and American newsreel imagery with narration from a lecture by Claude Lévi-Strauss and the Beethoven Opus 59 string quartet, the film “resides as a third-hand statement in a second-hand world”.

Cooperation of Parts (1987) is a complex poetic reflection on the distinctions between historical and private experience, as well as a compelling exploration of Eisenberg’s own search for self-definition in relation to the Holocaust and its legacy. Proverbs, philosophical quotations and musical fragments provide a fractured soundtrack to imagery collected by the filmmaker as he traveled through Europe in 1983, enacting a dialogue with history and place through the medium of the camera.

Persistence (1997), a “meditation on the time just after a great historical event,” discards linear understandings of time in favour of more fluid relationships between past, present and future. Taking as its subject the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, Persistence superimposes journal texts over films from the US Department of Defense interwoven with filmic quotations from Rossellini’s Germany: Year Zero, 1946, and the artist’s own footage of Berlin in 1991-1992.

Something More Than Night (2003) reveals the nocturnal experiences of Chicago’s public spaces, including many ‘non-places’ such as airports, trains stations, malls, downtown offices and industrial zones. The film resists a chronological sense of time, quietly drawing attention to the sensory dislocation that occurs at night and the continually shifting nature of the urban landscape.

Daniel Eisenberg has exhibited internationally for the past 30 years, including solo screenings at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. He lives and works in Chicago and is Professor of Film/Video/New Media, and Visual and Critical Studies, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

To coincide with the screenings, WORK is also pleased to invite you to an in conversation with Daniel Eisenberg on Saturday 19 May, 3-4.30 pm. Following the event, the artist will be signing copies of Postwar: The Films of Daniel Eisenberg, a major critical study of his work edited by Jeffrey Skoller and released by Black Dog Publishing. Refreshments will be provided.]]>http://www.theseer.info/25089.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25089.htmlTue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTMon, 21 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1006
As part of the exhibitions concept, Alice has five people of different interests naming each of her paintings. These titles will be displayed anonymously next to each image, potentially making the show interactive, and, encouraging discussion. Titling the paintings will be: Christopher Balfour, former head of Christies Europe for 5 years, Dr Oliver Jackson who has little experience of the art world, Elisa Segrave, the renowned author of, ‘The Diary of a Breast’, Ruby and Chilli Holt, sisters of ages 6 and 8 working together and Alice herself.

Alice believes that, by using textures and contrasts within her work, heightens ones senses and makes one more in tune with their psyche, encouraging a deeper engagement with each piece. Her paintings are created in the image of how dreams are made; Objects and images from the material world, mixed with the deepest desires and fears of the mind, entangled with elements from the subconscious. Alice loosely plans her paintings letting them be experimental and surprising, developing through a layering technique with plaster and colour, building identity in the process.

Alice permeates movement and rhythm into her work, sometimes playing with poignant symbols and colours yet chooses not to relay scenes from old mythological imagery. ‘I want to touch upon the atmosphere of stories and dreams, creating vignettes of living fantasy worlds, which may act as catalysts for the imagination. My work stresses the value of the human imagination, fantasy, and myth which I believe should not be seen as merely fictitious but taken seriously as a metaphor for reality’.

Modern reprints of original Morris designs hang with those handprinted (using the original pearwood blocks) and books of handprinted wallpapers, including the 1960s collection of psychedelic colourways.

Also on display for the first time will be the rarely seen VRI Cipher Paper; designed in 1887 for Queen Victoria's Balmoral Castle and printed with a fine merrino wool flock; an item not even available in the V&A's extensive archive.

The Attic is part of wallpaper retailer Lines of Pinner, a family business which dates back to Morris's era and has been selling Morris & Co. wallpapers and furnishings since they were re-launched by Sanderson in the 1960s.

Alison Day is a local artist who has been drawing and making work in her studio for over 20 years. She trained as a botanist originally and then moved into a more creative lifestyle by training at Goldsmiths College and The London Metropolitan University. Her original practice was photography but she began to draw again after a severe accident that left her house/studio bound for a considerable time.

The drawings and paintings reflect a love for and understanding of the natural environment. The work demonstrates and a process of looking, reflecting and communicating the essence of the plant.

This work takes time and a meditative patience. Some have commented that the process must be therapeutic, which it is But then doesn’t artistic practice by its very nature perform this function? The work attempts to imbue the viewer with the same feeling of meditative peace. The artist invites the viewer to take time to look, not something we often give ourselves the pleasure of doing.

Georgia O’Keeffe once said:
"Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven't time - and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time...So I said to myself - I'll paint what I see - what the flower is to me, but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it - I will make even busy New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers." Ref. (http://www.tragsnart.co.uk/arthub/okeeffe/okeeffe.htm

Alison hasn’t painted the work quite so big, nor has showed to New Yorkers, but is showing to Londoners who she hopes will enjoy the experience.

New work from Julie Hill will look at theme of hysteria in relation to the representation of emotion in melodramatic film and TV. In Sob Stories, narrative plot summaries from melodramatic ‘women’s films’ have been collected and played with to form a text or script that will unfold around the exhibition space while discreet interventions will permeate the outside world.

Objects, documents and interventions carry over fictional elements into reality creating a kind of ‘middle world’ where the audience is suspended. Works will include the Letter from an Unknown Woman, a Brief Encounter at a train station and the tear that can stand as evidence in a Matter of Life or Death.

Julie’s work addresses the ever-increasing confluence between popular entertainment and everyday life in an attempt to provoke the audience out of a passive or complacent relationship with the forms of entertainment they consume.

Catherine’s work for this exhibition also aims to provoke or unsettle. A series of loosely interlinked responses to the theme of the exhibition create a sensation of repressed hysteria in a domestic environment of beds, sinks, sheets and crockery, physical environments that are disrupted by intangible emotional forces. The drawings are solid graphite, and are drawn to almost elude your vision – you must keep changing your position relative to them to be able to see. This makes them into spaces as well as drawings; three dimensional areas that you must navigate, but cannot penetrate. Similarly the film pieces attempt to make a three dimensional object out of a film, something that wants to be touched.

The objects invite a tactile response but also reject it, aiming to create an uncomfortable atmosphere. Breaking Point, a life size recreation of a woman washing dishes, provides an occasional, unsettling soundtrack. Her hands are cast from soap and the running water eventually dissolves them, causing plates to fall and smash, a sound signifying frustration and violence in what should be a peaceful domestic scene.

The exhibition is both a serious and light-hearted attempt to expose a prejudice against ‘feminine’ categories of entertainment such as soap operas and chick flicks, domesticity and the presence of emotion. The approach can be summarized in the title, Crying out Loud – an expression of annoyance or anger, but also an attempt to openly interrogate the idea of open, unashamed emotion.]]>http://www.theseer.info/25152.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25152.htmlFri, 11 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTSun, 09 Sep 2012 00:00:00 GMT1144
This summer, the Foundling Museum celebrates Vauxhall Gardens with the biggest UK exhibition on the Gardens in over forty years.

Vauxhall Gardens was a place to enjoy contemporary music and art, spectacular design, al fresco dining, beautiful gardens and supper boxes from which to see and be seen. The Triumph of Pleasure: Vauxhall Gardens 1729 – 1786 will explore the Gardens, which for its visitors was an escape from daily realities and a re-affirmation of all the good things that life had to offer.

Drawing from the collections of major museums and galleries across the country, and of private lenders, the exhibition will display original works by Canaletto, Gainsborough, Hayman, Roubiliac and Rowlandson. Manuscripts and song sheets of works by Handel, Arne and J.C. Bach will be on display alongside contemporary engravings and other objects associated with the Gardens and with the Foundling Hospital.

Vauxhall Gardens was an all-embracing sensual experience, becoming an international byword for pleasure and now, over 200 years later, visitors to the Foundling Museum can experience the sights, sounds and tastes of the Gardens once more.

Sophie Bancroft is an artist based in the West Midlands who is currently focused within the combined disciplines of painting and sculpture. Having recently made the move from all space consuming canvases stretched directly onto walls, Bancroft is currently investigating the idea of painting in relation to the creation of sculptures. Concerned with colour, mark making and structure, she loads mdf forms with excesses of over watered acrylics. As a parallel exploration to this, Bancroft is also focused upon the idea of her audience 'exploring' her work through physical interaction.

Hannah Humphreys

Hannah Humphreys is an artist based in the West Midlands she produces abstract paintings which are inspired by a personal automatic narrative, which becomes descriptive, yet allusive. This narrative is used as part of the process in making the work. It is not her aim to reveal her subconscious mind nor to direct meaning, but to transport the viewer imaginatively in to a unique visual world; escaping from reality, crossing the boundaries from the outer to inner world.

Daniel Salisbury

From politics and newspaper headlines to history and social matters, Daniel Salisbury is an artist who tries to find humour where-ever he can. Never constrained by any one medium or method of working Daniel uses humour as an element of surprise, a release of tension built up through a narrative or often a lack of. Humour is one of the more powerful ways to get a message or point across; people are 60% more likely to remember information that is humouress. Laughter is a powerful tool.

Polly Saunders

As an artist Polly Saunders is concerned with problems of representation. Through large -scale charcoal drawings she investigates the problem of likeness and recognition in figurative art. Currently her drawings focus on representation in the Aristotelian term of ‘making present.’ In her drawings she seeks to distort the visual experience of recognition through cross-referencing multiple images simultaneously mirroring the experience of perception itself.

Matt Webb

Matt Webb is a visual narrative artist based in Birmingham, Uk. His practice focuses predominantly on the comic medium and how this can be explored formally and conceptually within the art environment. He looks to broaden and enhance the comic's growing reputation as a medium through which we can create art by presenting narratives that are both ambiguous and open to interpretation.

‘Walking around in the evening or at night, the atmosphere created by the glow of street lamps, car headlights and our ever more shining city changes our perceptions. One can’t help but recall other nights and other places. Time, place and experience become less particular, less solid. The stage is set for something else’

Piers Jamson’s photographs show interior spaces - places full of tension and redolent of some special but unknowable purpose.

According to the artist his art is ‘anti-installation installation,’ and the photographs are ‘almost the production stills from a film set.’ Although meticulously made, his constructions, after beingphotographed, are destroyed in the incinerator outside his studio.

This very fact adds to the tension we feel in pieces which have an almost jewel-like architectural intensity. The show consists of six large framed photographs, all new works. This will be the first time Jamson has shown so many photographs in one exhibition.

It might be objected that it isn’t installation at all, it’sphotography.
Nevertheless Jamson creates a whole world (‘there is usually another area of the space which you cannot see’) and in a sense creates it in reality -his ‘models’ are on the way to being life size.

‘I try not to discuss the constructions too much’ - after all, they are destined for destruction. ‘They are not always full size, but big enough for me to work inside them.
They’re made in sections and assembled elsewhere. So, bigger than my studio, put it that way.’

The show takes its title from a range of popular postcards produced in Yorkshire by Jamson’s great grandfather, who in the 1870s launched one of the first photographic studios - a fact which Jamson,curiously, only discovered recently.

‘So he was a professional photographer,’ which is curious again because the taking of the final photograph - which becomes the artwork - is the one thing Jamson relies on someone else to do: he hires a commercial photographer and then directs them in the shoot of his interiors.

‘Making this work I have to be artist, architect and interior designer all at the same time.’ The result is a little like Thomas Demand or James Casebere interpreted by Stanley Kubrick. ‘Well Kubrick certainly, but also Ken Adam, Production Designer for Kubrick and for many of the early Bond films, has been an important
figure for me.’

If the photographs evoke film sets, this could explain the idea that it is and isn’t ‘installation’. The relationship of installation art and stage-sets is often traced back as far as Joseph Cornell, and then beyond.
Jamson’s structures, rooms, call them what you will, are enclosed and silent. They give off their own special kind of silence, as ice gives off vapour. And they are all - and this is where it begins to feel disturbing - ‘part of a much larger structure.’

‘I want them to be disorientating for other people; that’s intentional. But I would be happy to live in them so I don’t know what that says about me.’ He is right when he says the works are not so easily defined as sci-fi. ‘They are visions of an alternative present or future.’ Then he says, ‘I’m working in a middle ground. My present exists between the past I feel I belong to and the future I create with the interiors.’

Because of the central viewpoint, the photographs often make the constructions look even flatter than they actually are. The perverseness of his method leaves a residue - just enough to tell the eye it is seeing more than it thinks it is.

Probably his world is a (kind of real) psychological place, as opposed to a fantasy place. This would explain its weird intensity.
‘I am not at ease in the modern world,’ he says.

Based in New York, the show tells the story of five married, about to be married and once married couples and their mutual friend Robert. Robert, who turns 35, seems to have everything: good looks, charm and a great sense of humor. Nevertheless, he remains single. Through Robert’s eyes we see the wonders and pitfalls of the relationships of the couples as well as his three on- and off girlfriends, presented in vignettes. Ultimately, Robert realises that while relationships rarely turn out to be a fairy tale, they form an essential part of “Being Alive”.

This discussion will focus on the challenges, rewards and responsibilities of international journalism: how to avoid sensationalism, describe complex social and political events to lay readers, reflect on long consequences as well as dramatic incidents and give a voice to ordinary people who bear the brunt of international events but are often unheard. The panel will also examine the role of the writer: maintaining partiality, getting an authentic and fair view of foreign affairs, reporting without patronage or ignorance.
Bidisha will be joined by three eminent writers:

Anna Blundy, commentator, former Times Moscow correspondent and author of a series of bestselling novels about war correspondent Faith Zanetti, inspired by Marie Colvin. The novels are currently being adapted for Hollywood.

Rachel Shabi, international journalist, author and Middle East expert, shortlisted for the 2011 Orwell Prize for political journalism, winner of the 2011 Anna Lindh journalism prize and nominee for the Next Century Foundation’s cutting edge media award.

Rosie Garthwaite, journalist and author who began her reporting career straight out of university and the army in Basra, Iraq. Her book How to Avoid Being Killed in a Warzone is a survivors’ guide to staying alive in combat territory, inspired by her own and other war reporters’ experiences.

Bidisha is a writer, critic and BBC broadcaster who contributes to magazines, newspapers and radio and TV programmes internationally. Focusing on the arts and culture, international affairs and human rights advocacy, she is the author of two novels, Seahorses and Too Fast To Live, and the bestselling memoirVenetian Masters. She has judged the Time Out Write Up Your Street prize, the Orange Prize, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Polari prize and the Bristol Shortstoryville prize. She is currently doing outreach work in migrants’ and refugee centres around London.

Common to Baudenbacher's stylistically varied output is his concern with painting. "I'm obsessed with the process of putting paint on canvas", he says. "Much of today's painting, it seems to me, either chooses a particular style from the past or stops at the superficial exploitation of the seductive qualities of paint. I'm after something much more alive and fundamental, a particular quality in painting almost impossible to put in words, which is challenging and sometimes downright difficult but exciting too and, to me, holds a certain kind of irrefutable pictorial truth. All good painting of all ages has that quality. And even though so much has been done in painting, I believe it is still possible to find a contemporary expression of that quality which is connected to the past but absolutely of this time, possible only now. We may have to look a little harder now than when painting was still developing in a more or less linear fashion but there is so much joy and excitement in that looking!'

The excitement in the paintings in Still. is of the quiet kind - the kind that reveals iteself slowly but all the more forcefully for the time spent looking. ]]>http://www.theseer.info/25167.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25167.htmlSat, 05 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTSun, 15 Jul 2012 00:00:00 GMT1171http://www.theseer.info/24994.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/24994.htmlFri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTFri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1006– Conductor Howard Evans

Graham Gussin works across media, including drawing, film and installation. He studied at Middlesex Polytechnic (1981-85) and Chelsea School of Art (1990), and has recently exhibited at Art House Foundation (2011), Turner Contemporary, Margate (2011), and Camden Arts Centre (2010). He is currently working on a new film project and is a lecturer at the Slade School of Fine Art.

Animated Environments: Graham Gussin is the second exhibition in a series at Siobhan Davies Studios, curated by Charles Danby, examining the active potential of images as still frames of time, within the fields of photography, film and event. The series opened with Guy Sherwin’s Movements in Light in 2011 and concludes with an exhibition by Steven Pippin in autumn 2012.

Gussin will also take part in an Artist In Conversation discussion with architect David Chipperfield on Sunday 24 June.]]>http://www.theseer.info/24811.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/24811.htmlFri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTThu, 06 Sep 2012 00:00:00 GMT10063rd May 2012, 5:30pm - 8pm

Over the last three years Sandra Jordan’s photography has centred on Arctic Norway and the Northern Lights, and, more recently, Morocco.

She comments, “Whilst you are guaranteed complete solitude in Arctic Norway, Morocco can be somewhat different, more than 150,000 people live in Fez Medina itself, yet within the contrast of both places I was drawn to the quietness and the isolation – the remote villages of the Lofoten Islands, the quiet corners of the Medinas where locals pause for respite from the hustle and bustle.”

Seemingly two contrasting lands, the resulting images show the quiet beauty and the timeless nature of these two countries from the vast open space of the Arctic to the myriad alleyways and walkways of Fez and Chefchaouen.

At this table we talk. At this table we listen.

At the table is an exploration of the mythical family dinner and the real one you may or may not have grown up with. It’s about how we communicate with strangers, or with those who know us most intimately…or is there really any difference between the two? It’s about how we craft who we are—consciously or unconsciously—for friends and family and facebook and coworkers and the person sitting next to us on the tube.

Audience members should come prepared to share and participate. The meal will be vegetarian, but we cannot cater to specific allergies, gluten intolerance, or dairy-free diets.

//

At the Table will be hosted in a private house in East London. The location will be revealed to participants prior to the event.

// NB:

Our first event was Sold out! We remind you that our events are ticketed, number of tickets available is limited and there will be no tickets sold at the door.

So book your tickets early, don’t be late for dinner and don’t forget to wash your hands before sitting at the table or Mum will tell you off!

At the Table is part of TINATA – This Is Not A Take Away is a curatorial project that will showcase artists and non-artists who are interested in a particular approach towards how food is sourced, prepared, served or eaten. Every first Thursday of the month a different host cook, will serve food to the guest audience while engaging in a dialogue about their concept-idea. From primitive palette to emotional eating, from recipes as memories to family roles dynamics, this series of events will explore the way we experience food from new and fascinating points of view. The events will be taking place in different locations around East London.]]>http://www.theseer.info/25037.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25037.htmlThu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 GMTThu, 03 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1001
Persian poetry is rightly famed for the richness of its heritage and many classical Persian poets, such as Rumi and Hafez, are famous across the world. But little is known about how contemporary Persian-language poets have continued to enrich and enliven their tradition, a gap that this event hopes to address.

The Persian language, with local variations, is spoken today in three countries: Afghanistan (Dari), Iran (Farsi) and Tajikistan (Tajik) and the tour will feature poets from each of these countries:

Partaw Naderi from Afghanistan

Farzaneh Khojandi from Tajikistan

Reza Mohammadithe London-based Afghan poet

Azita Ghahreman from Iran

Shakila Azizzada from Afghanistan

The readings will be done in the poets’ Persian languages, with readings in English by Sarah Maguire, Director of The Poetry Translation Centre.

Arbeit presents Avant Première, a pre-degree show by 35 graduating BA (Fine Art) class of 2012 from The Sir John Cass School of Art and Design at the London Metropolitan University. The show is a migration from Central House Studios, where the undergraduates have been based for the last 3 years, to Helmet Row; a step and an unveiling of a destiny each aspiring creative entity hopes to begin. A destiny in art: for art and with art.

The show itself is a sine qua non preview of the Cass 2012 degree show which will take place in June of this year. The viewer is invited to peer behind the thick curtain of the looming ‘Graduate Week’ in June and sapor the ardour of the blood, sweat and tears of those 35 aspiring artists.

The passion behind this show eludes to each of the creative soul’s petition to shed its shy and withdrawn days of degree and hold the baton of independence, responsibility and subsequently the flame and posterity of their chosen practice. The show is also a merger, an arts-scape of all the practices on offer at Central House, which cements traditional practices such as Painting and Sculpture with the au courant, Photography, Printmaking, Video and Time Based Media. Those works on display at Arbeit from 1st May 2012 are an ensemble of previous and current efforts, giving a glimpse of technique and Phantasm.

You are duly invited to take a journey into the future of art at Avant Première. The show opens on 1st May and closes on 11th May 2012.

Private view will be held on 3rd May 2012 (as part of first Thursdays).

Avant Première is curated for your pleasure by:

Thi Bui, Alex King and James Phelps have each explored, from unique perspectives,

In 1964, William began his first major cycle of paintings, based on Dante’s 33 cantos of the Inferno. In their medieval literary references, these jarred with the optimistic and superficial mood of the mid-60s. By the end of the cycle, William had emerged as a mature and committed figurative painter.

His next great cycle, The Mummers Parade (1969-70), combined childhood memories of the Philadelphia New Year’s Day Parade with media and television imagery alluding to the violent conflicts of late 1960s America.

In 1990-91, William painted the last great cycle of his career, the Conversation Pieces. In 1995, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and, in Blue Skies, his last large painting, William expresses his reaction to this knowledge: a devastated figure holding on to a table as on to raft in the blue bleakness of an empty studio. William’s case and his drawings were the subject of a now-famous article in the British medical monthly The Lancet published in June 2001.

William Utermolhen made his last drawings in pencil in 2000-02; he died on March 21 2007. His works have been the subject of numerous exhibitions in the USA, Britain, France and Italy since 2001, including Wellcome Trust, London; Fogg Museum, Harvard University; New York Academy of Medicine; Philadelphia Academy of Medicine, Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles; Cité des Sciences in Paris, The Chicago Cultural Center and the Permanente in Milan.

Curator Chris Boïcos will be at GV Art on Tuesday 24th April to talk about the artist and exhibition from 7 pm. Places free but RSVP essential.

Patricia Utermohlen will be talking about her late husband at GV Art on the 10th and 17th May from 7 pm. Places are free but RSVP is essential.

The work of Hanaa’ Malallah and kennardphillipp share a mutual skepticism of claims that the invasion/occupation of Iraq has brought freedom and a better future to it’s people. kennardphillipps’ work uses up-to-date archives of press photography and digital print technology. Malallah’s work takes its form from the materials she uses, creating tragic and beautiful forms by creasing, burning and folding.

Working together to create an exhibition of new works whilst responding to each other’s practises, the artists aim to create a powerful and unique conversation.
Considered one of the most original and expressive Iraqiartists of her generation, Hanaa’ Malallah has been working in London since 2007, when she was forced to flee Iraq. kennardphillipps is a collaborative, London-based collective of the two British artists Peter Kennard and Cat Phillips, which began in 2003 in response to the invasion of Iraq.

A special programme of lectures and debates on the nature of democracy, WHAT PURPOSE FREE SPEECH WHEN NO ONE LISTENS, will accompany this exhibition, including talks by the three artists.]]>http://www.theseer.info/24776.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/24776.htmlFri, 20 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMTFri, 29 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMT1161

The exhibition will be from Thursday 19 April until Sunday 6 May with a private view from 7pm on the 19th April

All five artists are emerging talents in the Middle East. Each artist tells their own story: the conscious choice to use vivid colours, the hopeful form of a pregnant woman or the playful and detailed depiction of symbols such as the cactus - symbolic of endurance – or using the shapes identified with traditional calligraphy but which are never resolved into meaningful text.

The artists’ power is evident as they transform ugliness and despair into beauty and light as the mundane forms of concrete, satellite dishes, asbestos roofs and washing lines are presented to us.

‘I’m just going outside & I may be some time’ were the fateful last words spoken by Captain Lawrence Oates, who perished during the Terra Nova Arctic Expedition to collect Emperor Penguin eggs of 1910–1913. Dubbed the ‘Worst Journey In The World’, the party of six Englishmen were stranded for 21 months as ships could not reach them, and forced them to shelter from the brutal Antarctic winter in a cave dug into the snow.

EXHIBIT A takes this phrase as a jumping point - artists imagine desolate landscapes, isolation, and futuristic visions after the apocalypse through their individual practices.

Dermott Punnet and Jayne A Smith paint lush, neo-modernist scenes which span between the utopic and distopic, while Talar Aghbashian’s sci-fi inspired paintings com found imagery with painterly intimacy spanning optimism and pessimism.

Rebecca Ackroyd and Thomas Adam utilise graphite and traditional drawing skills to enact the suspense and terror of the last living man, and Gabo Guzzo’s sound piece sets a score to the scene: the quiet murmur of an abandoned vista.]]>http://www.theseer.info/25220.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/25220.htmlThu, 12 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMTWed, 20 Jun 2012 00:00:00 GMT1006http://www.theseer.info/24904.htmlhttp://www.theseer.info/24904.htmlWed, 11 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMTFri, 04 May 2012 00:00:00 GMT1001

HEXEN2.0/Literature is the 'bibliographical' component of HEXEN2.0: a series of beautifully detailed drawings of reversed book covers, exhibited here for the first time. These key texts act as portals into Treister's intricate and highly energised research into actual events, people, histories and scientific projections of the future. Treister's 'reading list' has no clear entry or exit point, bringing into close contact titles such as Timothy Leary's Info-Psychology, 1977; Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, 1953; and Jacques Ellul's The Technological Society, 1967. Once deciphered, the reversed covers denote the claims of Anarcho-Primitivism and Post-Leftism, Theodore Kaczynski/the Unabomber, Techno-Gaianism and Transhumanism, and position precursory ideas such as those of Thoreau, Warren, Heidegger and Adorno in relation to visions of utopian and dystopian futures from science fiction in literature and film.

The exhibition also includes a continuous screening programme of videos relating to HEXEN2.0's precursor, HEXEN 2039, which imagined new technologies for psychological warfare through exploring links between the military and the paranormal. The programme includes: HEXEN 2039 The Movie, 2006; Operation Swanlake, 2004; Crossing, 2005; and Over The Line, 2008-2010.

A pioneer in the digital and web-based field from the beginning of the 1990s, Suzanne Treister uses various media including video, the Internet, photography, drawing and watercolour to engage with notions of identity, history, power and the control of information. She lives and works in London.

From 7 March until 1 May 2012, selected drawings, photo-text works and a film from HEXEN2.0 will be exhibited simultaneously at The Science Museum as part of its contemporary arts programme. Please visit www.sciencemuseum.org.uk for further details and opening times.

WORK is also pleased to announce the publication of the HEXEN2.0 book and tarot deck, both by Black Dog Publishing. Please visit www.blackdogonline.com for further details or to buy online. Both publications are also available at WORK through Paperwork Bookshop.

A limited edition print, HEXEN2.0: From ARPANET to DARWARS via the Internet, has also been produced to coincide with the exhibition and is available exclusively through the gallery.

Artists include:
Lines of Thought: Helene Appel, James Bishop, Hemali Bhuta, Raoul De Keyser, Adrian Esparza, Özlem Günyol & Mustafa Kunt, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Jorge Macchi, Nasreen Mohamedi, Fred Sandback, Conrad Shawcross, Anne Truitt, and Richard Tuttle

Simply the running on of a point, line is paradoxically one of the most powerful means of expression. Continuous or broken, curved or straight, free-floating or geometric, lines can define boundaries, divide spaces, create light and shade, or be used for communication. Throughout the history of art, line as a basic element of artistic expression has been used by many artists to explore and express a wealth of feelings, thoughts and ideas.
Combining European and American traditions of post-war art, James Bishop’s poetic and reductionist geometry abandons the hard-edge abstraction of many of his contemporaries. Raoul De Keyser’s ambiguous, gestural minimalism seems not only to merge various contradictory elements – figuration and abstraction, gesture and geometry – but also to inspire long contemplation of it. Being of the same generation as Bishop and De Keyser, Indian artist Nasreen Mohamedi’s sparse work remains surprisingly under-recognised in the west. Her work is characterised by a total and coherent commitment to the language of abstraction, while her austere drawings evoke an atmospheric and delicate sensibility.
One of Britain’s most influential living artists, Richard Long has put his journeys in nature at the heart of his work since the mid-1960s. Even when exhibited indoors, Long’s works have a strong, organic feel to them that reflects the artist’s connection to the landscape.
While the work of Sol LeWitt, Fred Sandback and Anne Truitt is largely related to Minimalism, the intimate works of Richard Tuttle evolve out of a radical reduction of the composition elements.
The artistic concerns of the younger generation are infinitely varied. The Turkish team, Özlem Günyol and Mustafa Kunt make clever use of line to comment on national identity and geopolitical issues with, for example, the background lines of different passports and the meaning of lines that represent borders between countries. American artist Adrian Esparza, born and raised in El Paso, Texas, also comments on political divides, garnering much of his source material and inspiration from his borderland experiences. In his newly made work, Esparza mounts a Mexican serape [blanket] on the wall, then partially unravels it. Inspired by historic landscape paintings he guides the cotton thread through a grid of nails to create a primarily geometric design. The artist’s process of deconstructing the source results in a vibrant optical experience which simultaneously unveils the history it represents.
Refusing to be pushed into any category of art history, Jorge Macchi makes works that provoke thought about everyday questions and offers startling perceptions with a minimum of form. Helene Appel uses selected gatherings of everyday items to make meticulous abstractions that inspire contemplation. Walking the line between art and science, Conrad Shawcross’s sculptures explore subjects that border on geometry, philosophy, physics and metaphysics.
Finally, the Indian artist Hemali Bhuta’s often site-specific installations function both as ephemeral objects and documentation in ways that can seem contradictory. Her dramatic and impressive installation Stepping down, 2010, includes several thousand stalactites that simulate candles and engender a cave-like experience.
