OUTPOST has invited 10 artist led organisations – five from the UK and five from Europe – to run temporary gallery spaces within the city’s Anglia Square shopping centre. The invited organisations have different operating procedures, but each have been asked to present the work of a single artist from the orbit of their activity. Further project details, including location maps for the temporary spaces, will be available from OUTPOST or from www.norwichoutpost.org
2 – 21 July
Bureau Salford
www.bureaugallery.com
Bureau is a new (2006) purpose-built gallery based in Salford directed by Sophia Crilly and Mark Kennard. Delivering four shows a year, ranging across all media, the gallery's intention is to promote dynamic and exciting new work by emerging and established artists, from the UK and internationally. Bureau also works collaboratively on projects with other international galleries and organisations. Bureau will present Dave Griffiths whose film works dwell on the physical and fictive borders of media forms and spaces. A recent focus on film marginalia centres on the collecting from broadcast TV of ‘cue-dot' signals that mark the transitions between movie reels – and whose imminent disappearance marks a sea change in cinema history.
Moot Nottingham
www.mootgallery.org
Moot is an initiative based in a former lace factory in Nottingham that works with artists to deliver exhibitions, commissions, events and publications. Moot is directed by artists, Tom Godfrey, Tristan Hessing, Candice Jacobs and Matt Jamieson. Moot will present artist Jonty Lees whose work is informed by cycles, geometry, impatience, boredom and 90's raving. Lees reveals and records natural rhythm, pattern and loops through a process of manipulating and combining devices, machines and familiar materials.
The Royal Standard Liverpool
www.the-royal-standard.com
The Royal Standard is a studio/gallery/social workspace in Toxteth, Liverpool based in a former 1950's pub. Housing 15 artist studios, an innovative exhibition programme and supported by a wider membership of 50 associate artists. The Royal Standard will present the work of Liverpool based artist Sean Hawkridge . His practice is concerned with the notion of progress, and how it draws a line through adventure, relationship, accident, decay and comfort. Seeking to provide a crosscurrent in the daily grind, his work deploys interventionist tactics, taking on diverse forms, from publications and websites to video installations and the ongoing development of a stand-up style performative lecture www.seanhawkridge.com
S1 Artspace Sheffield
www.s1artspace.org
S1 Artspace was founded in 1995 by a group of Sheffield based artists seeking to provide affordable studio space in Sheffield City Centre. Committed to supporting and enabling artists to develop new work and ideas, the annual programme includes an artist residency, commissioned exhibitions, a programme of artist film & video screenings and the S1 Members Show. S1 Artspace will present a newly commissioned work by Torsten Lauschmann. Lauschmann is an artist, filmmaker and live performer whose concerns investigate the mechanics of digital processes, software creation and the possibilities they present. www.lauschmann.com
Workplace Gateshead
www.workplacegallery.co.uk
Workplace Gallery is a commercial gallery run by artists. It represents a growing portfolio of emerging and established artists through curatorial projects, the gallery's exhibition programme and participation in international art fairs. Workplace will be showing work by Darren Banks where domestic realities become cloaked with fantastical possibilities as familiar objects and formats chase their own dreams and aspirations. Drawn in by aesthetic devices, the viewer is led to question an objects function and possibility, but in each case this fruitless optimism is thwarted as the object constantly fails to achieve the miraculous.
2 – 21 August
F.A.I.T Krakow
www.fait.pl/fait/foundation.html
Foundation for Artists, Innovation and Theory, (F.A.I.T.) was established in August 2005. Promoting the value of innovation in artistic practice as well as theoretical interpretation, it plays a vital role in Poland 's contemporary art scene by initiating, supporting and presenting experimental projects that challenge established thinking about art and culture. R.E.P. (Revolutionary Experimental Space) was established by a group of young Ukrainian artists in 2004, as a reaction to the historical period of the Orange Revolution. R.E.P artists are Mykyta (Nikita) Kadan, Olesya Khomenko, Volodymyr Kuznetsov, Zhanna Kadyrova, Ksenia Gnylitska and Lada Nakonechna. Considered the new generation face of the Ukrainian avant-garde, they are known for performances in public spaces.
General Public Berlin
www.generalpublic.de
General Public is an independent project space, run by a group of cultural workers (visual artists, writers and curators amongst others) based in Berlin , Germany . Founded in the Autumn of 2005, it has produced a series of exhibitions, artist presentations, discussions, film screenings, and performances. Although operating within an international network, General Public's activities are always informed by and related to its local context and situation Erika Mustermann will present an event-based exhibition which aims to develop praxis within the following areas: rethinking the individual, immateriality, the artist as the medium (for other artists), sharing and separating space and traversing and facilitating co-production within a ‘local' & international context.
Het Wilde Weten Rotterdam
www.hetwildeweten.com
Het Wilde Weten is a vibrant meeting point within the Rotterdam art scene and a building that houses the studios of 20 artists. HWW is also a public platform for all forms of contemporary art, cultural exchange, discussion and debate. Organised collaboratively by its studio residents, invited artists and curators, the organisation's programme is open to the public and consists of exhibitions, artist talks, presentations, discussions, events and festivals. Niels Post's practice explores public space and the television screen with humour – making small changes to the world around him, a ‘site-specific everyday-ness' emerges that appears logical, but is anything but normal. His work is made to be stumbled upon, to tickle a sense of amazement and subtly steer ones behaviour. www.nielspost.com
Les Complices* Zurich
www.lescomplices.ch
Les Complices* is located in Zurich , Switzerland and is active on various levels of exchange with people and organisations interested in contemporary art and its role in society. Les Complices* defines itself as a collaborative collective of artists, curators, designers, theorists and activists from various backgrounds who aim to establish an independent network throughout the national and international art circuit. Frequent exhibitions alternate between dinner discussions, performances, concerts, book launches and other singular events. Edit Oderbolz's installations and sculptures transform everyday materials into minimal sculptures with equally poetic and humorous qualities. Reminiscent of the kind of materials that can be found on a building site or a school gym, rather than a museum or a gallery, her work plays with the boundaries of high and low, banal and sophisticated. www.editoderbolz.ch
Transmission Glasgow
www.transmissiongallery.org
A diverse and increasingly high profile art scene has emerged in Glasgow with Transmission at its centre. Established in 1983 by graduates from Glasgow School of Art, Transmission provides a place where artists can meet, talk and exhibit alongside local and international peers. Artist Lotte Gertz's working-method is a process of creation based on deconstruction and re-assemblage. Woodcut-printing, painting and drawing form the basis of her practice; but she also uses the prints and paper-works she has made as the raw material for collages and semi-sculptural pieces. This is a layered and accumulative process, through which Gertz seeks to capture the idea of a physical space or object acting as a metaphor for a state of mind, something solid and fleeting at the same time. |
