Duration reveals Extension

New work by London based artist Steven Scott will be exhibited at August Art Gallery from 2nd October to 2nd November 2008.

Private View Thursday 2nd October 6:00 - 9:00.

More info on www.Augustart.co.uk & www.steven-scott.co.uk

A line drawing of the gallery's interior is deconstructed piece by piece and the constituent parts sequenced and projected onto a screen in the darkened gallery space.
This 2D representation of the interior space that exists behind the projection screen is perceived via a process of conscious retention of the drawings' elements as they are presented and re-presented over time.
This process is simultaneously complemented by the physical phenomena of the afterimage as each of the brightly projected lines of the drawing remain momentarily on the light sensitive retina. Ghosts of the on-screen schematic representation of the gallery are layered and rebuilt fleetingly onto the interior surface of the eye.
The drawing is never presented in its complete form, but as a series of abstracted lines. Perception of the represented space exists only in the conscious and physical memory of the viewer.

"Duration reveals Extension" is a single screen DVD Back Projection from a Sanyo Pro Xtrax architectural data projector.

Mitra Tabrizian: This is that Place

This is the first major UK exhibition of work by Mitra Tabrizian, an Iranian-British photographer and film director whose work combines documentary and film techniques to make elaborate photographic tableaux.

Bringing together a selection of works from the last eight years, the exhibition focuses on the rise of corporate culture, themes of nomadism and migration, and notions of homeland.

The exhibition includes Tehran 2006, a panoramic photograph showing a modern but run-down residential area, populated by a disparate group of people. While it is a constructed photograph, all the characters 'play' themselves: the crowd is a mixture of people who are struggling and those who are living on the edge.

Free entry, until 10 August at Tate Britain.

Psycho Buildings @ Hayward Gallery

Definitely going to see this one. Will comment back when I do.

'The extraordinary international artistic response to Psycho Buildings shows just how challenging, exciting and playful The Hayward can be' Ralph Rugoff, Director of The Hayward and curator of the exhibition.

This exhibition marks The Hayward's 40th anniversary as one of the world's most architecturally unique exhibition venues.

The exhibition brings together the work of artists who create habitat-like structures and architectural environments. Become an adventurous participant as you explore The Hayward's spaces inside and out, including a room frozen in a moment of explosive disaster, an eerie village of over 200 dollhouses, a floating plastic cloud and a skyline boating pond.

>> until August 25 at the Hayward Gallery, London SE1 (0871 6632519)

Chutney Preserves - Two: "The Rot sets in"

This should be a fun day out!

Sunday 22nd of June, 2008, on Camberwell Green, Camberwell – 2pm till 7pm

A juxtaposition of workplace with exhibition stage, or perhaps more coherently, experimental lab with ceremonial site, ‘The Rot Sets In’, is decorated like a fete with small gazebos and stalls, and a rotten twist. The fete is in effect, a one day public art work, which visitors to the green can interact with, or just observe if they choose. It will be a humorous and thought provoking display of a broad range of temporary art works and artists that will make reference and take resources from the fine borough of Camberwell.
Sarah Doyle will offer weeds, rescued from between the cracks of the paving stones of Camberwell’s’ streets, from her garden stall, whilst Naomi St Clair Clarke has made an effigy which you can ‘make clean’ with a wet sponge missile. Lady Lucy is a rotten portrait artist, offering to make rotten portraits of visitors to the green from her park bench, possibly beside Rachael House who shall be sharing edible dog poo from a dogs bottom. Ami Clarke will pluck small gifts from her bearded chin, Ben Woodeson will display a number of hand-printed t-shirts of Mayor Johnson, and Miriam Craik-Horan shall respond to Mendelssohn with a lawn mower engine on her face. Jo David proposes to create a cardboard obelisk and miss-information desk with rotten visitor information about Camberwell, Sarah Sparkes will send down messages from her nest in the hanging tree. Andrew Cooper has a composting Wicker Man lying on Camberwell’s lawn and Dean Kenning will ceremonially hoist a totem pole at sundown, made during the day, from collected bottles and cans. Rebecca Feiner will invite passers-by to rant about issues in ‘Ranter’s Corner’. As they do she will make a picture of them and display these, framed on a table. Julian Wakeling has taken a beautiful photograph of pears decomposing. He has made it into postcards and will write messages for visitors to take away. Libby Shearon has transferred images of hobby horses and other spirits from the land onto business men’s white shirts, and Marq P Kearey has a muddy pool with ambitions to facilitate low ebb’s, whilst Geraldine Swayne shall cheer us all with rotten ballads, channelling voices from folk singers who frequented the green in days gone by. Continuing the musical responses, The Lonesome Cowboys From Hell, Calum F Kerr, Tim Flitcroft, Jan Maat and Marc Vaulbert de Chantilly, parade as The Wild ‘Worst’ on Camberwell Green with a rotten western arena, complete with fake camp fire. cApStAn StRiNg a rebel rouser, will embody the spirit of Captain Swing, the long dead peasant agitator. Darren O’Brien has been trying to train worms to make paintings – visitors will be invited to pick a worm to make a muddy painting that they can take away. Be repulsed by Gavin Toye’s revolting paintings and then hit a rotten egg on Ben Newton’s dart board game and take home a jar of green chutney.

Come, come, come along to the great festival of Camberwell Green – ‘The Rot Sets In’.

Another event organised by Sarah Sparkes and Marq P Kearey. Visit the blogsite at:
