'The Laboratory of Dissent' Blog

The Laboratory of Dissent is a five week experimental project by CAS Artists at The Winchester Gallery from 24th August – 25th September 2015. The project treats the gallery as a site for investigation rather than a showcase for finished work. You can track the project on this blog where participating artists will log their contribution.

A Curator’s Review of Inside/Outside

A Curator’s Review of Inside/Outside

Are you the public?Then come in and see our things. According to the Cambridge dictionary a ‘collection of things shown publicly’ constitutes an exhibition. What you see here is just that, but then again, it’s not. Or, it might be, depending on how long you hang around. A review by Susan Francis Particular themes have risen […]

A story from LOD1

A story from LOD1

Dawn Evans talks to Yonat, David, Maija and Chester (2017) about her experience of Week 1. Laboratory of Dissent 2015. I think this might be helpful for any new Associates to witness the ongoing discussion as we continue to reflect on the experiences that we have shared, it offers a bit of background of how […]

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 […]

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 […]

Words Fail Me

Words Fail Me

An A4 page. A train of thought. New lines are aligned left, but also right, and sometimes centred, to indicate a change of voice or direction. The words point toward something that makes sense, but reading them feels like deciphering sense. I am compelled to read them aloud, as if that will make them sink in. On […]
