Lament' is a constructed film that uses found objects, animation, poetry and music to explore loss, longing and belonging in the Welsh borderlands. Sean Vicary works with film and digital media to examine our relationship with the natural world. He has also experimented with smart phone technology whereby viewers using mobile phones encounter virtual objectsthat appear to exist in the real landscape.

Sibyl Montague works predominantly with moving image. Using video and installation she exposes the unfolding relationship between materials and processes. Montague employs everyday materials - card, plastics, wood, paint, steel - to construct site specific environments in which she documents objects and experiments. These are then set in motion with the intent of initiating some kind of happening. Her methods honour a long tradition of artists who work between sculpture and video, and who investigate time and matter through the moving image. Having worked extensively with handmade techniques of stop-frame animation, she now uses video as a means by which she tracks objects moving in space.

Pia Borg explores modern and historical visions of the future through animation, reflecting on time and perception in the digital age. Using stop-motion and live action choreography, the artist conjures historical and fictional reconstructions of the past. Her use of traditional 16mm film and projection encourages a sense of recall. The exhibition is named after J.G.Ballard+rsquo;s dystopian science fiction novel, The Crystal World, where a viral crystal transforms trees, animals and humans into jewels, suspended forever in the present. Borg+rsquo;s film explores the process of crystallisation, using projectors, mirrors, prisms, models, crystals and time-lapse photography. Two other films by the artist are also shown in the exhibition - The Automaton (2009) and Scaffold (2010), offering a chronicle of her practice over the last few years.

Mirror Gallery Bev Bartlett Residency exhibition (Jewellery +amp; Silversmithing) Bev has taken the opportunity of her residency to explore the relationship between her jewellery and her origins as a biologist. Bev spent three years doing scientific research then worked in the field of plant health before leaving to concentrate on developing her jewellery skills. The tenet of her work is the beauty of that which is hidden in full view +ndash; the detail of which can only be revealed by magnification. Examples of the jewellery which have developed from this legacy are on display, coupled with images and intricate models of the fungi which have given inspiration.

Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary


MEERESRAUSCHEN (The sound of the sea) The sea has always inspired man+rsquo;s imagination and creativity. As a living environment it has not only determined the economic and social development of the peoples living at the coast, it has also aroused desires and dreams, overwhelming its viewers at all times. The sea divides worlds, not only geographically, but also culturally. To this day the oceans are considered amongst the areas of the earth which are the least explored. In its immeasurability and impossibility of being controlled the sea is one of the last mysterious and mythical objects of projection of our times. In the history of art, the sea becomes a central theme in marine painting. In the beginning it mainly serves as the staging for Christian and mythological tales. The depiction of the economic and militaristic strength of a particular nation and its mercantile marine and naval force are the main focus, apart from charming maritime landscapes. In the 19th century the documentary approach slowly recedes, the illustration of nautical details gives way to emotional effects. The depiction of the sea is metaphorically charged into transcendental heights. The empty sea becomes a motif and by dissolving spatial structures and traditional composition seascapes act as heralds of modern abstraction. With ten selected positions Meeresrauschen shows how artists from classic modern to contemporary art respond to the cultural and art historical tradition of the theme. Chronologically the exhibition begins with a delicate ink drawing by Lyonel Feininger, who shows the sea in an idyllic scene in which two gentlemen take a walk along a vast seashore. In a lithograph by Pablo Picasso the sea is only visible as a horizon line in the background and becomes an associative scenery for two nudes at the beach. Three works on paper by Joseph Beuys combine personal mythologies and references to cultural history. Anselm Kiefer+rsquo;s work also deals with myths and mysticism, which are recomposed in a subtle and witty manner. Kai Luther+rsquo;s atmospheric landscape paintings are inspired by images of the Lofoten Islands in Norway, which he depicts in their overwhelming vastness and grandeur in the tradition of Romanticism. Emma Stibbon+rsquo;s charcoal drawings show the breaking of waves near Cape Cornwall, capturing the tidal space between land and sea as an unfixed state, which becomes a metaphor for the unconscious inner life. A depiction of a complex course of motions can also be found in the paper cuts by Stefan Thiel, whose Schwimmer (swimmer) seem to be like film stills. The works appear like associations of the sea defined by images from modern mass media. For her photo-collages Christine Schulz also takes images of the sea from the constant stream of information that is the media and puts them into question within the borderland of fiction and reality. It is a similar kind of borderland which Stefanie Buehler examines in her sculptural works, which imitate scientific models. The sculptures become metaphors, through which one may approach our complex world. For Wolf Hamm maritime landscape is like a stage upon which he arranges his surreal tableaus, showing phantasmagoric scenes of rich connotation in his reverse glass paintings. For further information please contact Aeneas Bastian by phone at +49-(0)30-209 157 90 or by email at press@upstairs-berlin.com. Upstairs berlin is open Wednesday to Friday from 11 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 11 am to 4 pm as well as by appointment.

Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary

Landscapes of Exploration
Peninsula Arts presents Landscapes of Exploration which maps and celebrates the relationship between arts and science. The exhibition brings together for the first time works resulting from different artistic investigations in Antarctica and shares the theme of the 2012 Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival, Explore, Dream, Discover. Between 2001 and 2009, ten visual artists, one musician and three writers undertook residencies in Antarctica, supported by Arts Council England, exploring what perspectives art could offer on this terra incognita. Curated by Liz Wells, the exhibition will run from 11 February to 31 March at the Peninsula Arts Gallery, Plymouth. Works will be on display from Anne Brodie (artist), Layla Curtis (artist), Chris Dobrowolwki (artist), Chris Drury (landscape artist), Simon Faithfull (artist), Neville Gabie (visual artist/film maker), Keith Grant (painter), Phillip Hughes (painter), John Kelly (forensic artist), Craig Vear (composer), David Wheeler (artist), Melanie Challenger (poet), Jon McGregor (writer) and Jean McNeil (writer). Craig Vear will also host a talk introducing his work at the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival on Saturday 11 February, including the sound installation The Guardian Diaries. Craig Vear is a composer and musician working predominantly in contemporary, improvised and electroacoustic music for the concert hall, installation and theatre. The Guardian Diaries was inspired by the time he spent in Antarctica creating a library of field recordings from 2003-4 when he held the Arts Council England Fellowship with the British Antarctic Survey. In conjunction with the exhibition, True South Festival: Antarctica and Discovery takes place across Friday 24 and Saturday 25 February 2012, with artists, poets, performers and scientists coming together to offer new perspectives on discovery in the Antarctic region, and on the global significance of changes in Antarctica.

Exhibition at Phoenix Brighton
We present an installation of large-scale prints by Canadian artist Derek Besant. The work is themed around core redevelopment and upheaval within several large cities, and the temporary state of chaos that results in the streets. Based on reconstructed photographic images of building sites in Budapest, Vienna, London, Toronto, Mexico City, Calgary and Shanghai, the images of these cities+rsquo; infrastructures reveal them to be complex narratives embedded in space and time. Each of these cities has been undergoing major demographic and structural shifts, and these changes have had a knock on effect upon the flow of traffic and pedestrians and patterns of social interaction. Returning to each city at various intervals, the artist discovers that many of the original configurations he photographed have been dug up, covered over, or replaced by new, unfamiliar structures. Cities are continually excavating the past and dismantling the present. Besant looks upon these events as theatrical interventions or temporary acts in which people reorganize materials and space into and out of chaos. Pedestrians view the scenes through scaffolding, wire fences and traffic, and piles of bricks, coils of electrical cable and concrete bags become the props. The images in the exhibition, created using industrial printing processes onto veil-like scrims, expose aspects of the city which, by their very ubiquity, usually go unnoticed. Occasionally these sites capture our attention, and we get a fleeting glimpse of the city+rsquo;s underbelly. At these times we realize what is happening in the streets of every city, even this one. --------------------------------------- Alongside this is a screening of Jayne Wilson+rsquo;s two short films from a series about the power of the past. All That Mighty Heart offers an observation on our contemporary malady of supposed urgency, using the imagery of clocks and timekeeping. Hey Presto! reflects upon engineering, technology, time and magic, agents of change in the modern world. --------------------------------------- South Gallery: Using drawing, 3D modelling and other techniques, Peter Marsh examines the city through its architecture and the secret lives of urban foxes. -------------------------------------- BROKEN GROUND SYMPOSIUM: How Do We Experience the City? A multi disciplinary event draws upon themes in the exhibition with contributions from experts in the fields of urban planning, architecture, cultural anthropology and art. Saturday 18 February, 10:30 am - 4 pm +pound;10 includes lunch. Details and registration at www.phoenixbrighton.org

Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary


New Walk Museum +amp;amp; Art Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of new work by acclaimed British Taiwanese artist Chien-Wei Chang as part of the national crafts initiative the shape of things.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; Chien-Wei�s latest work responds to the idea of the cellar across different cultures as a space in which food is preserved in jars and bottles to nurture life in times of scarcity.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; Chien-Wei�s cellar is a space of mystery and hidden transformation. Within its bottles and storage containers Chien-Wei has placed thoughts on his day-to-day life as he pursues his creative path. The �cellar� is used to preserve the evidence of his journey through time and to create a kind of a diary room or archive.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; Chien-Wei Chang is renowned for his striking re-interpretation of seemingly every day domestic objects such as ladles and bowls in materials such as silver, wood and bamboo that reflect the artist�s Chinese heritage.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; In this exhibition, he has stepped away from his main practice of silver / metalsmithing to create a major new installation work combining hundreds of recycled glass bottles alongside exquisitely crafted handmade objects.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; the shape of things is an ambitious and exciting artists' exhibition and venue development initiative for contemporary crafts. The shape of things aims to encourage a contemporary crafts professional practice, audience and market that is culturally diverse and representative. This exhibition, together with the shape of things initiative has been generously supported by Arts Council England. www.theshapeofthings.org.uk

A DOUBLE FEATURE
Artists: Melissa Bugarella, Alasdair Duncan +amp; Matthew Verdon, Katie Goodwin, Fabien Giraud +amp; Raphael Siboni and Jeremy Millar. Curated by Tom Trevatt. First used by Val Lewton's production team in Cat People (1942), the +ldquo;Lewton Bus+rdquo; is a genre specific device used to build then dissipate tension in horror movies. As Alice is pursued by Irena, who the audience expects to turn into a panther at any moment, the tension builds to a crescendo. Alone in a dark street Alice embodies our fear. At the height of the tension the scene is shattered by a loud hiss, a dark shape enters the screen. We expect the monster, but it is a bus pulling up, hence the Lewton Bus. This device has been employed many times since and itself is genre defining. Split into two distinct chapters, The Lewton Bus approaches the processes of exhibition and art making through a number of operations found in the history of cinema +ndash; the double feature, the interlude, film signage, the Lewton Bus, suspension of disbelief, montage etc +ndash; whilst also addressing itself to the demands made by the specific works. The first exhibition, Coming Soon, presents a curatorial intervention in Vitrine Gallery accompanied by new video work by the artists in Shortwave Cinema for one evening only. The second exhibition, Conditions, presents 2 and 3-d work by the artists developed with the curator in response to the cinematic proposition. As an interlude between each exhibition, on the occasion of the opening of the second exhibition, Giraud +amp; Siboni present for the first time in the UK their film +lsquo;La Vall+eacute;e Von Uexkull+rsquo; (4096x2304).

Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary

Totem - Daniel Fogarty
Bureau is pleased to announce Totem, Daniel Fogarty+rsquo;s first solo exhibition with the gallery, following his residency during Summer 2011. Fogarty+rsquo;s practice is primarily concerned with Leisure and Production: often taking the physical form of a derivative of publishing (a poster, banner, illustration, or editorial photography), his work signals towards slight narratives or points of interest bordering on the banal. Fogarty churns over graphical language to understand particularities that arise and are embedded in a semiotics of +lsquo;the everyday+rsquo;. Totem is comprised of new and previously unseen works, including pieces created during Fogarty+rsquo;s residency at Bureau. +lsquo;Totem+rsquo; refers to an object serving as the emblem of a family, often as a reminder of its ancestry; a carved or painted representation of such an object; or a family identified by a common totemic object. Synonymously, it also refers to a hallmark, logo, symbol, emblem, or trademark, and in this way relates to how Fogarty+rsquo;s works explore the history of modernist culture and it+rsquo;s particular graphic language. The works in the exhibition draw on a variety of inspirations (literally and metaphorically), from modernist architecture, cottage industry, motorways, the Roads Beautifying Association (and their 1930 publication Roadside Planting), and suburban gardening, to Philip Guston-esque interpretations of the digestive system. These divergent interests are brought together through Fogarty+rsquo;s unique visual +lsquo;styling+rsquo;, incorporating aspects of typography, signage, reprographic systems and methods of production. Although in their final state the works are presented as a slick, stylistic pastiche of graphic design aesthetics, each piece has undergone an intensive, laboured process involving handcrafted elements (working with everyday and found materials, and mediums such as cardboard, concrete, and unfired clay), prior to its final production state. The method of production is key, and works indicate such processes within their titles; for example, Cottage Industry, Leisure Industry, Modern Industry (2011), a triptych depicting a short history of window frame design, evolving in conjunction with industry production. All the works are heavily mediated to the point that they try to slip through the medium that they are created in. And+hellip; and+hellip; and+hellip; (2011), a large scale print produced from re-photographing re-production prints, is described by Fogarty as: +ldquo;an overtly unspecific work, overly concerned with its production and aesthetic relation, and so broad in function that it fails to bring about any. [+hellip;] a kind of folly where reproduction upon reproduction arrives to a point where it can speak so many languages that it ends up speaking none.+rdquo; ------------ More information about Daniel Fogarty: Daniel Fogarty is based in Manchester, UK, and graduated in BA Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University in 2009. Fogarty undertook Bureau+rsquo;s annual residency in Summer 2011. This is his first solo exhibition with the gallery, having previously exhibited with Bureau at The Manchester Contemporary in October 2011. Recent exhibitions include: The Production of Curation, Rogue Project Space, Manchester; Sunk Costs, Islington Mill, Salford; We Are All In This Together, Bureau, Manchester; PRISM #9, Sheffield; BlankExpression, BLANKSPACE, Manchester (2011); Collaboration No.4, Unit 3B, Sheffield; Rubric: Document (online); Out of the Wilderness, Bloc Projects, Sheffield (2010); Crassfelt, Gal+eacute;ria Hit, Bratislava, Slovakia; Venice Agendas 2009, Venice; The City Gates, Sheffield Hallam, Sheffield (2009); MAKE AN ICON OUT OF POPCORN, an experimental publishing project devised by Maria Fusco, in collaboration with APFEL (A Practice for Everyday Life), Art Quarters Press and Matt+rsquo;s Gallery, London; Aller +agrave; Ouessant, Carte blanche +agrave; l+rsquo;OEil d+rsquo;Oodaaq, Ouessant, France (2008). Fogarty was also recently invited to be Guest Curator at Bloc Projects, Sheffield, for the exhibition Eye Service, a show of recent graduates from across the North of England. Daniel Fogarty is represented by Bureau.

With Emiliano, the power turns out to be especially in the architectural construction, it is a merciless and remorseless mechanics. This is where its perfection is to be found; Step in front, there is at first a piece made of almost mathematical working off. But from a three meters distance, the sensitive dimension definitly surges out, step back.+lt;br /+gt; With Isabella, the engravures are rather subversive and emotional. They carrie a pictorial message, dwelling in the line of the weft, in its own nature. Her artworks in general seems pert and rather ingenuous, it is necessary to get closer to contemplate the beauty and the details of the pieces, and one won�t properly reach its density by missing this step�forward.+lt;br /+gt; Fragile, strong, frank and awkward, tortured and desperately wearing hope. +lt;br /+gt; +amp;laquo;+amp;nbsp;Retina+amp;nbsp;+amp;raquo; is a path from the lay-out to the framework, the passion and the pictorial catharsis.+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +amp;iuml;+amp;iquest;+amp;frac14;+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; KONTAKT | gallery@kartueche.org | www.kartueche.org | +49 (030)53792492+lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt; +lt;br /+gt;

Exhibition | Multi-disciplinary


Inter Alia's first exhibition 'Fabricate' is composed of three international artists whose work collectively explores the themes of narrative and fact through re-appropriation and manipulation. This is the first time that the artists Cecilia Bonilla, Slawa Harasymowicz and Eva Stenram have exhibited together, their work is influenced by mediated imagery from sources as diverse as 'fashion' magazines, family albums and the World Wide Web. Through the various processes of remoulding and duplication of the subject matter new narratives are created, and in some cases, hidden truths revealed.

London Drawing Presents: The Drawing Theatre - With Spirited Bodies
We are really excited to be working with Spirited Bodies for the first Drawing Theatre event for 2012. This will be a fabulous opportunity to draw from a host of different bodies in spectacular happening where we invite a cast of up to 30 models to create a progressive day long scene, morphing and evolving throughout the day. Spirited Bodies, an organisation run by performer, life model and writer Esther Bunting, is dedicated to enabling people to recast their body consciousness through working as an artists model for the first time alone and in groups. Join us and prepare to leave your regular life drawing class at the door! If you have toyed with the idea of trying life modeling or would like to experience your body in a completely new and liberating way- this could be your chance. Take this opportunity to have what could be one of the most significant experiences of your life. If you would like to be a model for this special event email Spirited Bodies: estherbunting@gmail.com The Drawing Theatre is a spectacular fusion of theatre and drawing in a creative workshop designed to intrigue and excite. The sessions are a result of a six year creative life drawing program facilitated by London Drawing at Tate Modern and combine elements of performance and movement, light and sound to create an unforgettable drawing experience which aims to re-invent the traditional concept of life drawing. 11 February 2012 11-5pm +pound;45 all basic materials included Battersea Arts Centre Lavender Hill London SW11 5TN For more info and booking links: http://www.londondrawing.com/drawingtheatre

11.02.12 - 11.02.12 / ends today
At October Gallery in London, United Kingdom
Talk | Multi-disciplinary


Organised by October Gallery and the Radical Distrust Project, University of Kent. This workshop featuring Laila Shawa alongside writers, academics and curators will address the ways in which visual cultures construct, represent and contest separatisms, violence and the breakdown of social trust in the Middle East. From the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier to the street art that festoons it to the multi-layered and subversive works of Laila Shawa, visual cultures have a central role in the establishment of social trust amongst communities in the Middle East. In this interdisciplinary, interactive forum we wish to examine the role of various visual modes including street art, graphic novels/comics, film, architecture/urban planning, photography, painting, installations, art theory and art education. Questions we will be addressing together are: How does distrust manifest itself in visual icons and in the organisation of space? How do individuals, communities and artists negotiate or contest these visual manifestations of distrust? Can visual arts play a role in redeveloping trust between divided groups? What might this entail? Speakers will include Laila Shawa, Felicity Allen, Wendy Pullan, Gabriel Koureas, Sue Malvern and William Parry. Refreshments and drinks will be provided. Spaces are limited for this free event so please RSVP to mariska@octobergallery.co.uk and N.A.Ahmed@kent.ac.uk Radical Distrust: A Cultural Analysis of the Emotional, Psychological and Linguistic Formations of Religious and Political Extremism, University of Kent The Radical Distrust research programme serves to analyse the emotional and psychological formations of extreme beliefs through a comparative study of literary texts and performance culture across the areas of postcolonial and Middle Eastern studies. Our research also explores the role that music, youth culture, literature and performance may play in establishing new forms of connectivity. www.radicaldistrust.org

Andrea Zittel is most closely associated with the remarkable utopian structures she calls +lsquo;Wagon Stations+rsquo; which explore what humans need for survival in different ways. Zittel+rsquo;s projects are deeply rooted in her own daily life and delve into architecture, painting, photography, design, textiles, needlework and cooking. For over two decades her experiments have included dressing in the same home-sewn uniform for months on end, exploring restrictions in living spaces by living on an artificial island and living without measured time.
