Nunhead Open 9 Art Exhibition 2012

I will be showing My Mummy Superior Hollandais Cloth inspired print at Nunhead

Here is some more information about the work I am showing:
I was fascinated the fable of the nun who was beheaded on Nunhead Green in the reformation of the monasteries in the 16th century. Although there is no evidence to support the story of the beheaded nun the story is part of folklore.
The shop I was working with for Nunhead Arts Festval in 2009 sells Hollandais fabric, which is very popular in West Africa. The fabric designs on this cloth were often developed to focus on the visualisation of proverbs and folklore.
I designed my own Hollandais cloth pattern inspired the legend of the nun beheaded on the green.

Sarah Doyle
I am making a South London green dancing parrot puppet. Feral parrots have been recorded in London since 1855. There are however rumours that the parrots of South London are descended from birds Jimi Hendrix released in the 60s. The parrot will be challenging all comers to a dance off competition on Camberwell Green.
I am also making a puppet that will be asking passers by to spin their heads in a dutty wine dance off.

Frog Morris and Mark Dean Quinn

Prepare to put your creative agility to the test. The UnWrong Quiz is the quiz with no right or wrong answers. We celebrates the people who can't remember who holds the world record for the 100 meters, but might think of something useful to do with a ball of plasticine, twelve meters of garden hose and David Hasselhoff's chest hair. For this the special Olympic edition of the the UnWrong Quiz , the audience will be challenged to write stories, make up jokes, draw pictures and invent rules for some new sports we could actually stand a chance of winning at.

Miyjki Kasahara

My puppet will be called 'Nadia' and she is a Rokurokubi* yōkai (supernatural figure/monster).
Starting like a normal human being, she will reveal her true nature during the games.
She resembles the legendary Romanian gymnastic queen, Nadia Comaneci who was the first gymnast to score a perfect 10.0 in the Olympics 1976.
*Rokurokubi are one of the most common yōkai found in Japanese folklore.
They look like normal human beings by day, but at night they gain the ability to stretch their necks to great lengths. On this occasion, Nadia's neck stretches when she gets excited which will surely happen often during the Puppet Games!

Joanna McCormick and Nick Baxter 

Nick Baxter and I will be making a paralympic gold champion wheelchair puppet out of old bicycle wheels, newspaper, parcel tape, string and gold leaf. The puppet will be quite large, about waist height and the wheels are from an old bmx bike. We will take part in the obstacle course if possible but otherwise will just be nipping about the place doing wheelies and bumping into people. We also plan to dance to some of Jude Cowan's tunes....


Calum F. Kerr
First there wuz Babee-Franke now there is 'Granpaw Frank E.', over hunert and fifty years old he was to compete in the rodeo dressage at the first modern olympics in 1896. Unfortunately he thought it was in Athens, Georgia not Athens, Greece so he missed it entirely. While his errent grandson Frank E. became singer for Lonesome Cowboys from Hell Granpaw has been training up and is ready to return for the Games. He can still lasso and barrel-roll with the best of em. Frank E. will be there to encourage his granpaw, and to protect the public.


Phillip Raymond Goodman
'you saunter up to Camberwell green, a spring in your step, you see in the distance "oh wow a giant chess board, I've always wanted to try on of those" but as you get closer you see something is amiss, no kings, no queens, no bishops, rooks, horsies, or pawns "what's going on here" you ask the winds feebly as you see instead, strange, spindly warriors, in outlandish armour, harnessing garish weapons, with otherworldly symbols hung about them, and not a spot of hierarchy among them "my gosh" you exclaim, -TIME TO PLAY WITH ALL GAMES, CHESS REMIXED- these words echo in your brain'


Jude Cowan-Montague
Jude will improvise on Reuters news stories about the Olympic Games using electronica
This will combine with other groups puppet activities, ie puppets will improvise along to the news stories.


Tim Flitcroft
Mr P Sterling will be scarecrow sized and operated by two broom handles from the back. The legs will be springs maybe with weights attached and the body of card or cloth with either a pound sterling symbol on it or visual elements from a fifty pound note. The head is a sheep skull with a bowler hat on top. It will be made quite crudely from wood and string - a Heath Robinson affair
"P Sterling, (AKA Zombie Banker) a paralympic competitor, will be bouncing and staggering around in pursuit of Olympic excellence. But don't be surprised if his debts weigh him down and make him rather a weak competitor. Best known for his dribbling skills with a ball his reputation for sharp practises means he is likely to take any unfair advantage he can."


Jo Harrison
Synchronised swimming being probably the most aesthetically pleasing Olympic event has prompted me to opt for a puppet activity of a soggy nature. Something of an aquatic disembodied can-can. Legs of all kinds will be whirling, swirling and flailing around to delight and enthral. Nose clips, swim hats and arm bands will be provided.

Rebecca Feiner

For the infamous Chutney 2012 Puppet Games,  closing ceremony of Camberwell Arts Festival, artist Rebecca Feiner poses the question, who pulls the strings?

She rejects the idea that we are mere puppets of the financial systems of the western world, with their logo driven games that make sport of us all.

 Feiner gives a response that will inflame you to cut loose and break free .

Olivia-jane Ransley

In the spirit of what we English do well, morning Jeremy Kyle watching, sitting in the cold smoking area, last pint before time is called,  microwave meals and voting apathy I bring you Nick O'Tene the Tortoise.  He is 'so fast he is smoking'.  Rarely seen without a fag in his mouth or an oxygen mask at his feet, he swears the secret to his success as a long distance runner is his 40 a day habit.  If the speed he lights a cigarette is anything to go by then he will be undefeated at this years puppet olympics

TRANSITION GALLERY

Transition is pleased to announce that they will be participating in the first Sluice Art Fair. Transition Gallery is an independent and innovative, artist-run, London-based gallery and publisher founded by artist Cathy Lomax in 2002. The gallery shows work by both emerging and established contemporary artists as well as producing publications and periodicals such as Arty and Garageland.


STRIP

For Sluice Transition is showing Strip, an exhibition made up of groups of specially selected 2D works by a number of artists including Emma Talbot, Annabel Dover, Cathy Lomax presented with a distinct nod towards the filmstrip.

All of the artists featured in Strip employ a sequential approach to their varying subject matter. But although each ‘strip’ is composed of works made in a series, adjoining frames do not necessarily correspond to each other. There are in fact no traditional narrative structures; instead it is for the viewer to create their own connectivity.

In her essay for the Transition publication About Painting Alli Sharma identifies the ‘importance of a process to picture making, rather than simply an end result’. Forsaking the idea of the grand gesture, the Strip artists are dissatisfied with the stand alone masterwork, the single dumb painting made to hang on some ever decreasing rich patron's wall. Furthermore with the huge abundance of easily available digital imagery there is just so much more to paint and draw and not enough time to spend labouring on one image. The Strip artists are restless and resourceful, with their minds jump cutting from one thing to another. It is the actuality of the process which is the receptacle that holds and binds these multi-faceted back-stories together.

In Mark Cousin’s The Story of Film: An Odessy film is described as ‘an image bank to flick back and forth to in our imaginations’ and it is this metaphor of a ‘clicking machine’ that mirrors the work on show in Strip.

GHost CLHub

Artwork by Sarah Doyle

I have a painting in GHost CLHub curated by Sarah Sparkes and Ricarda Vidal at the Folkestone Trienalle hosted The B&B Project Space.
My painting is based on a story from a book called Ghosts Of Shepway written by Paul Harris
The story is about the ghost of a young boy at the Royal Norfolk Hospital:

‘A waitress rushing to and fro from the kitchen to the bar noticed a young boy in brown ragged clothing “like an urchin of Dickens’ time” sitting on the stairs. Twice she passed the boy by who seemed unnaturally still and quiet. When he was still there when coming back from delivering an order she asked if he was alright.

“He started to cry, and looked at me with tears rolling down his cheeks, his eyes were bright blue, and then he just vanished, right there in front of my eyes,” The waitress explained.

Nicholas Serota’s recent comments that the government's funding cuts will cause an 'arts blitzkrieg' have inspired Transition Gallery to stage ART BLITZ, a fundraising event which references and updates the confrontational politics and unique style of the 1980s.

For eight years, the artist-run gallery, Transition, has been at the forefront of the East London art scene, staging exhibitions and producing exceptional publications (including Garageland and Arty). With the ill wind of spending cuts threatening to curtail the gallery’s progress, Transition have garnered the support of many leading artists and will be launching a not-to-be-missed art auction on this website on 15 November. Viewing will be in the form of an exhibition at Transition from 25-27 November, culminating in a live auction on the evening of Saturday 27 November. Bidding will be possible in advance online or by telephone or at the live event. There will also be an ARTY DIP where £10 will secure an original drawing or print many of which have featured in Arty.

The call to arms for ART BLITZ has been phenomenal with artists including Yinka Shonibare, Clunie Reid, David Blandy, Stella Vine, Phillip Allen, Sigrid Holmwood, Rose Wylie, Paul Housley, Eleanor Moreton, Tom Hunter, Laura Oldfield Ford, Emma Talbot, Jessica Voorsanger and Delaine Le Bas donating work to the auction and ARTY DIP.

Much of the work has been produced specially for ART BLITZ and this will be a rare chance to purchase art by influential contemporary artists whilst supporting the work of one of London’s most important artist-run spaces.

400 Women

12-30 November 2010

Shoreditch Town Hall Basement, 380 Old Street, London EC1V 9LT
map

Private View: 11 November

An exhibition of new work by 200 artists including Tracey Emin, Maggi Hambling, Swoon and Humphrey Ocean, responding to the widespread murders of women in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico

This ambitious project was conceived by artist Tamsyn Challenger in response to the brutal murder and rape of more than 400 women over a decade in the US border town of Ciudad Juárez and the region of Chihuahua in Mexico. 200 artists have each painted one of the murdered women, confronting us with and safeguarding in our memory the dead and disappeared. The exhibition is curated by Ellen Mara De Wachter, a curator and writer based in London.
Challenger says:
“This project began in 2005 when I was commissioned to make a feature for BBC Radio 4’s Woman's Hour. I travelled to Mexico and met with some of the families and was struck by their need to hand me postcards that had been generated as another aid to finding their loved ones. These images were black, white and pink and poorly produced but they started the concept in my mind and on the long flight home I had a half formed idea for what has become the project 400 Women. The concept relies heavily on a large-scale collaboration and, for me, each participating artist represents one of the murdered women, in some way invoking her, so that she can challenge humanity. Each image produced will stand as a statement against gender violence.”
Explanations for the murders, which continue to this day, range from serial killers to organ fielding, the use of women as prizes for drug cartels and domestic violence. Most sinister of all is the possibility of so-called sexual violence tourism. The continued disappearance of women in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America evidences a culture’s disregard for the rights of women. Despite media coverage of the issue, the murder of 186 Women in 2009 and the disappearance of many more attest to the fact that little is changing. The killers continue to enjoy impunity in the region, which has had a knock-on effect throughout the country and the region. Amnesty International has reported that in Guatemala more than 2,200 women have been murdered since 2001.The Mexican authorities have seriously mishandled each investigation into these murders and in August 2006 the Mexican federal government dropped its investigations into the murders, concluding that no federal laws had been violated.
The majority of the murdered women were extremely poor. Challenger has obtained over 100 images through Amnesty International's Mexican team, the group Nuestra Hijas de regreso a casa, and the Casa Amiga Rape Crisis centre in Ciudad Juárez. For some women no image is extant. In these cases, the artist involved will use the woman’s name as they wish within the piece.
Notes:

· Each image will be on a uniformly sized canvas of 14” by 10” (portrait) echoing the “retablo” (which means ‘behind the altar’), the iconic imagery of the Catholic Church that remains such a strong force and power in Mexico.
· Challenger’s 2006 Woman’s Hour feature on the killings can be heard at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/03/2006_26_fri.shtml
· Information about the project’s development and images of works as they are painted can be previewed at
http://400women.tumblr.com/
· Tamsyn Challenger trained at Winchester School of Art and KIAD. Her work has been exhibited in the Truman Brewery and Candid Arts in London. She has worked as a collaborative artist with the Magdalena Festival in Barcelona and with Triangle theatre. Tamsyn's first solo show 'The Tamsynettes' was at Transition Gallery in Bethnal Green in March 2010. She has also produced documentary work for the BBC, 'My Male Muse' receiving Radio 4's 'Pick of the Year' accolade.
· Ellen Mara De Wachter is a curator and writer based in London. Her main occupation is as the exhibitions curator at Zabludowicz Collection in Camden, where she has worked with artists on major commissions and exhibitions for the Zabludowicz Collection’s space at 176 Prince of Wales Road, including Matt Stokes, Graham Hudson, Mark Titchner and Toby Ziegler.
· Lise Bjorne Linnert is a multimedia artist based in Norway. Desconocida Unknown Ukjent uses embroidery to highlight the struggle to address the abuse, trafficking and murder of women. The project was initiated in 2006 in response to the situation in Ciudad Juárez and consists of workshops during which participants embroider the names of the murdered young women onto labels. So far over 2,200 people have participated in the project, embroidering more than 4,000 nametags. The project was awarded the Luleaa Summer Biennial Award in 2007.

Trade Gallery
1 Thoresby Street
Nottingham
NG1 1AJ
map

Trade Gallery is part of the new One Thoresby Street building

Sarah Doyle’s lively series of drawings are created on the pages of a colouring book – of which the printed, bubbly outlines of monkeys, houses, gardens, jolly looking people and so forth are still visible. Printed images like these are approximations of reality, and at early age form the foundations of our ability to read, recognise and participate with images, icons and symbols.

Doyle’s felt tip pen drawings respond to the call of the book, to colour in, but the response uses a completely different set of imagery, that of iconic pop stars. In spite of what we know about the subject matter - Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna - Doyle’s multifarious representations manage to carve out a space that avoids a kind of pop art nausea caused by an over-familiarity with the subject, and the interpretation of the subject in art.

In short her deployment of two sets of imagery, the book’s, and the pop stars’ complicates our reading of the work and creating a deeply peculiar and idiosyncratic set of drawings.

Trade will present a selection of artworks from Doyle’s series of 100 Michael Jacksons, 100 Madonnas, 100 Princes, in the main gallery space.

Recent exhibitions include - 'The Nexus Treatment', Space Station Sixty-Five Gallery and 'Celebrated Sobriquets', The Surgery London. Group Exhibitions include - Transition Gallery, London, Primo Alonso, London The Portman Gallery, , London and Elevator Gallery, London. Doyle’s work also includes collaborations Elle magazine, Tatty Devine, Upset! The Rhythm, Surface 2 Air.

Mixtapes: Popular Music in Contemporary Art

8th June - 24th October 2010

Tues - Sat 10 - 5pm
Sun 2 - 5pm

Lewis Glucksman Gallery
University College Cork
Cork, Ireland
map

Curated by Chris Clarke and Matt Packer

Artists include: Marc Bijl, David Blandy, Alejandro Cesarco, Anne Collier, Sarah Doyle, Fergus Feehily, Dan Graham, Jim Lambie, David Lamelas, Linder, Dennis McNulty, Bettina Pousttchi, Baldvin Ringsted, Meredyth Sparks, and Mika Tajima / New Humans

The mixtape is more than just a compilation. It is a way of conveying an idea, mood or theme through a selection of particular songs and communicating a message to a recipient.

The mixtape is a personal object, illustrated with idiosyncratic cover art and handwritten lines. It often ended up saying more about the maker than the songs or musicians chosen.


Mixtapes: Popular Music in Contemporary Art is a selection of visual artworks that use the materials and imagery that surround and accompany music. It includes artists who acknowledge the influence of album covers, posters, videos, instrumentation and assorted musical paraphenalia in their own work, often referencing the distinct genres, styles and seminal moments of popular music history.

Mixtapes also addresses the notion of the artist as a fan, as someone who incorporates their own musical tastes and preferences in making visual art. In this way, the exhibition explores both the intimate and expressive aspects of art and music.
