A Peek at The Power of Two

A Peek at The Power of Two

How to summarise the flurry of activity between the Block_Chain resident artists this week? BLOCK 3 On a mountainside in Catalania, Sarah Misselbrook chokes back the ashes of her ‘facemask’ of incinerated charcoal drawing,while back in her flat share on the ‘dingy’ side of Cambridge, Denise Kehoe ponders the power of her Poundland cake of, […]

Introducing new, collaborative project to take us into 2018

Introducing new, collaborative project to take us into 2018

Project Details   Go to Opportunities BLOCK_CHAIN > THE POWER OF 2 is a process rather than an exhibition, a vehicle rather than a fixed destination, a non-hierarchical container for exchange, evolution and innovation. Borrowing it’s terminology from the blockchain, BLOCK_CHAIN > THE POWER OF 2, seeks to transmute the digital framework into a material reality […]

Layers of Time and Peripheral Colours

Layers of Time and Peripheral Colours

On Thursday 4th CAS artists revisited images of The Laboratory of Dissent exhibition (2015) which ran for 5 weeks at the Winchester Gallery. Each artist selected an image, and passed it on to another artist for response. Artist Dawn Evans invited us to explore “porous thinking” and move away from the central image, to create […]

 Fig. 1 – YNG, ‘How do you know you love someone?’ The piece of paper that my hand found inside Dawn’s box carried the following question: ‘How do you know you love someone?’ I chose to ponder upon it while eating an apple I had in my bag. (see figure 1). I still don’t know.    Fig. […]

Mapping the domestic in the gallery space

Mapping the domestic in the gallery space

Initially we agreed to divide the gallery space to different domestic areas: ‘living-room’, ‘kitchen’, ‘storage’, ‘library’, ‘music room’, ‘studio’. However, when artists came to the gallery they each set her work in a specific part of the gallery, pushing to the side the idea of allocating spaces as above. Susan chose a wall on which […]

Do You Reserve The Right To Make Your Own Meaning?

Do You Reserve The Right To Make Your Own Meaning?

“Looking at concepts that are made [through art and design] is it important to look at the institutional role of developing meaning and creating conclusions that artists aren’t perhaps willing to make? Institutions like to have a product or concluded idea to sell.” August: “The institution of art critic and art historian, because they are people and professions, you […]

Tracking The Red Thread

Tracking The Red Thread

At the beginning of The Laboratory of Dissent, I unearthed a poem I wrote about how I want to live. It was a frustrated poem, contrasting the urgent passion of individuality with the unthinking consumption of pre-packaged cultural norms and social agreements. It’s called ‘Shut Eye’ and I was able to draw from it a couple of motifs. The […]

Reflecting on Domesticating Conflict

Reflecting on Domesticating Conflict

  Like Susan, I like to start with a nature story which inspired my thoughts. As I was running through a field onto a narrow path last week, I saw a small mouse laying on her side, in the process of dying (I called her a “she”, as in French, mouse is feminine). I stopped […]

Seeing Beyond Propaganda

Seeing Beyond Propaganda

Do you ever get the impression you/we are being deliberately manipulated by media – images, narratives, and advertising? From an early age I have been interested in communication and the creation of meaning. Having whet my toes in the world of ‘media studies’ and ‘visual culture’ I have come to believe media literacy helps promote […]
