I'd
Rather Play Sudoku

There
is a fine line between boredom and obsession when it comes to saturating
oneself with images from the internet. What is one to do with all
this visual stimulation? An answer might lie in a drawing that turns
into embroidery or maybe a monoprint to trigger memories of why
these things appealed in the first place. Another reality might
involve imagining a cut-out model of an old master figure that can
be ordered from a warehouse and assembled in the home. Is this irony
or a new intimacy with history? Partitions could also be built and
new places created and then vacated to evoke a spatial anxiety.
There might be need for domestic comforts to be introduced to provide
a necessary counterpoint. Is this how intimacy might play in an
art gallery?
All
this is to keep the artist busy, give him or her tasks, something
pointless, something that won't succeed. It could be filmed as a
performance and the props could become sculptural objects. They
might be made of concrete but still contingent on the performance
which is light-hearted and kind of heavy at the same time. Velocity
as well as gravity figures too. The music producer Martin Hannett
tells Joy Division's drummer to 'play slow, but fast'. Can painting
be like this also? A continuous succession of rapid-fire attempts
to capture a moment and each time the edge is softened and then
stretched-out into a ground. Was the punk-rock moment more of a
promise than anything delivered? If so, we should all ask for a
refund if we don't get the goods.
I'd
rather play Sudoku demonstrates a common desire of six artists to
be distracted and wilfully redundant within the demands of their
work. They employ strategies across a diversity of media that keep
themselves from determining the core of their projects. In so-doing,
their work reflects a certain contemporary reality of how meaning
might be forged. A reality not just dependent on an art-historical
awareness, but on a perceived life experience as well.

Ping
Pong
26 February to15 March 2009
Wia
Stegeman, Toni McGreachan, Tanja Isbarn
Ping
Pong is a multi media exhibition featuring the work of artists from
Britain, Germany and Holland, who found each other in their common
interest in the theme of 'Water'. The title PING PONG relates to
the way in which the water surface reflects reality and is a symbol
of how the artists communicated with each other through their professional
art practises. Supported by APT Gallery, Arts Council England and
The National Lottery.

Confluence
19 March - 5 April 2009
Eileen
Cooper, Fred Gatley, Caroline Isgar, Sara Lee, Sara Radstone, Annie
Turner
Confluence
is an exhibition curated by Eileen Cooper RA and is the result of
an unusual collaboration between six artists, with works in ceramics,
on paper and in print. The work is rich and varied but the subjects
and ideas converge around a common reference in the use of imagery:
an interest in distance and containment, horizon and proximity.
Waterways, bridges and crossings feature strongly. There is a haunting
quality to many of these pieces; water is never very far away.
Cooper
herself has long been involved in making work in print and, to a
lesser extent, ceramics, often in collaboration with other practitioners.
The artists in Confluence have all worked independently and professionally
over many years. They are linked by a fascination with process and
deeply rooted in their craft, with ideas being developed through
'making' and an engagement with materials.

Q
Art London presents
2
- 5 July 2009
Supported by
APT Enables
|
|
Q-Art
London launched in November 2008 as a forum for critical exchange,
networking and
peer-review for visual art and visual culture students and graduates
from across London’s major art schools.
A potential ‘autonomous art school’ in the making, Q-Art
London has been holding monthly convenors across London’s art
universities, inviting students to present and discuss work in a
critical, peer-reviewed environment.
Q-Art London presents… is the first exhibition showcasing
this unique convenor-led collective
of artists. Displaying new works by the 41 artists who presented
at one of the six convenors
throughout the year, this exhibition presents the opportunity to
view recent work, participate,
and listen again to the convenor presentations through film documentation.
Q-Art London presents… is a unique insight into a continuous
verbal and visual critical
commentary between a previously disparate range of young artists.
To promote this valuable
exchange, a series of events will also take place across the period
of the exhibition. Working across photography, sculpture, painting,
film and mixed media installation, the exhibition offers an opportunity
to experience the growing momentum of a forum that breaks down traditional
institutional barriers. Q-Art London provides an alternative and
additional learning environment to the institution; it econstructs
boundaries between various art schools as well as their departments
and levels of study; and provides a forum where graduates of these
colleges can continue to present and critically discuss work.
“It is hoped that by creating a London-wide
system of peer review and critical exchange,
criticality will take a lead role in determining future successful
artists as opposed to market
forces.”
Sarah Rowles, Director Q-Art London

APT
Enables | Tidemill Primary School
All
the pupils at Tidemill have made something in this exhibition; each
and every one of them has worked hard to produce an artwork for
the show. Reception children have make massive bugs and creepy crawlies,
year 1+2 have built two metre high trees and made animations of
growing seeds, year 3+4 have produced amazing tribally decorated
rainforest leaves and year 5+6 pupils have painted a transparent
river.
Throughout
the school pupils have been learning about growing and changes,
Bio-diversity, de-forestation and our affect on our environment.
All
of their artworks will combine to build an immersive installation;
a forest full of creatures, plants growing, rainforest songs being
sung and little child-like creatures exploring each others artworks.

SOUTH
EAST
An exhibition of work made by artists
at APT Studios
Selected
by Clyde Hopkins and Steve Lewis
17 September to 4 October 2009
|
|
The
Art in Perpetuity Trust in Deptford houses some forty artists who
work in a range of media from painting and sculpture through photography
and video to installation and site specific work. Over the past
fourteen years, APT has established itself as a significant contributor
to the creative profile of South East London, largely through its
gallery programme.
This
exhibition contains work from all APT artists, and can be seen as
a 'sampler' for the Open Studios weekend which takes place on 26
and 27 September; all artists' studios will be open to the public
on this weekend between 1.00 and 6.00pm. The works selected for
the exhibition are the subjective choices of two members of the
Gallery Committee - Clyde Hopkins and Stephen Lewis. The aim of
the selection is that the work is representative of the individual
artist; there is no imposed 'theme' within the work but rather a
richness in variety.
The
exhibition opens with a private view, 6.00 - 8.00pm, on Thursday
17 September 2009 and then runs from Friday 18 September through
to Sunday 4 October. The APT Gallery is open Thursday to Sunday
12noon to 5.00pm. This exhibition is part of the Deptford X programme
of events and APT acknowledges support from this organisation.

SIMON
CALLERY
THAMES GATEWAY PROJECT
9 October - 1 November 2009
|
|
|
|
The
'Thames Gateway Project' represents an engagement with the changing
landscape of the regeneration zone through the medium of painting
- a tradition where we are accustomed to find evidence of our shifting
attitudes in relation to landscape. The aim of this work has been
to develop new forms for landscape-based painting in response to
this new environment. Simon Callery has worked in collaboration
with Oxford Archaeology, who provided on-site access to a number
of locations within the Thames Gateway over a three-year Arts and
Humanities Research Council Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship.
Sites of work have included a flood relief scheme at Washlands Basin,
Dagenham, the A2 road rerouting at Gravesend, Kent, at Woolwich
Teardrop, Woolwich Arsenal and at the London Gateway container port
development on the Thames estuary at Shellhaven, Essex. Commercial
excavation sites are characterised on one hand by the materiality
of the construction site and on the other by a tangible sense of
temporality. They are rapidly changing landscapes, where briefly
future function and evidence of past human activity fuse.
This
exhibition consists of two related groups of paintings; Pit Paintings
and Wall Spines. Both groups employ a recasting of the support (stretchers)
for painting to a more central role, the use of organic form found
in archaeological features and the opening up of the paintings to
give access to the interior. In combination these qualities involve
the viewer in an encounter that initiates visually but leads, through
a structured perceptual route to a physical register. Significantly,
the aim of these paintings is to mobilize the viewer, encouraging
movement from edge to edge, and to peer inside the open body of
the works.
These
new works connect with current thinking in archaeology, architecture
and the fine arts where an ambition is growing to accommodate, record
and communicate lived experience, proposing an alternative to the
image-based culture that dominates contemporary life.
The
Thames Gateway Project is an Arts and Humanities Research Council
Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship. In collaboration with Oxford
Archaeology and Wimbledon College, University of the Arts London.
This exhibition is supported by the Arts Council England, Lottery
Funded.

Deptford
Update is an exhibition of drawings and models accompanied by a
programme of events showcasing emerging public realm projects in
Deptford and North Lewisham.
Commissioned
by Design for London in partnership with London Borough of Lewisham,
the exhibition includes: an urban plan for Deptford Creekside, proposals
for the Kender Triangle in New Cross Gate, improved pedestrian connections
along Deptford Church Street and a series of speculative housing
proposals by students from the Accademia di Architettura, Mendrisio,
Switzerland.
A
specially-commissioned wall mural will present all of the projects
in context including the LB Lewisham led Deptford and New Cross
Links programme. Visitors will be invited to comment on the proposals
which will be reviewed by DfL and LB Lewisham.
Part
of the gallery is being set up as a meeting room available free
of charge to local organisations. Events planned include a heritage
walk, design workshops, a two day design charrette lead by Creative
Process building on the successful charrette event from June 2008
[http://www.designforlondon.gov.uk/uploads/media/Deptford_Creekside_Charrette_Report.pdf]
and design crits for architecture students working in the area.
A library of books about urban design that have influenced the projects
will be available with fresh coffee being served. A heritage talk-and-walk
by Edmund Bird and Creek walks hosted by the Creekside Trust will
give further background to the proposals on show.
The
exhibition is intended to invite debate on the design ambitions
for the area amongst the local community, key players from the private
and public sector and designers involved in shaping London’s
public realm.
