Celebrating a series of open studios across SE8 alongside some exciting
new exhibitions opening at galleries in New Cross and Deptford for LAST Fridays
this tour is a fantastic way to see it all and to meet the artists and curators
behind the projects and studios in this creatively buzzing area of south
London. The tour will kick off at BEARSPACE, with an exhibition of new works by
Suzanne Moxhay and Geoff Diego Litherland as they present 'The Aftermath'. New
exhibitions at Enclave will also be keeping us busy on route, among them
LUBOMIROV EASTON, ANARCH and NEWS OF THE WORLD all previewing new shows on the
night. We’ll round off the tour at open studios including APT’s ‘Christmas
Parlour’ and The Zeitgeist Open Exhibition and Open studios all at ASC, New Cross.
With a well deserved drink awaiting you at The Old Police Station’s legendary
‘Dirty Cop Fridays’.</div>

Join us for part 2 of this Deptford focused art tour where
we’ll be delving further into a wave of artist and designer open studios in the

the artists, meet the people behind the projects or if you’re on the prowl for
some truly original Christmas gifts a chance to discover new designers and
artists and invest in affordable one off pieces direct from the artists themselves!<span> </span>No middle man, no high street chains,
just innovation, originality and some very festive spirit on the way.<span> </span></div>

Among the open studios we’ll be visiting: Hatch Space,
Creekside Artists (whose mulled wine is legend!) and Cockpit Arts who have a
well established reputation as an incubator for emerging design talent in
London.<span> </span>We’ll also be visiting
some of Deptford’s artist run spaces and galleries on route with new
exhibitions by both London based and international artists.</div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">BEARSPACE presents DRAW/FLEX/DRAW/, an installation by Josie Cockram in association with Acme Studios’ Residency, Awards & Community Programme. This solo show is the climax of Cockram’s year long residency, showcasing the development of her practice during this time since her graduation from Camberwell College of Art in 2011.<br /><br />DRAW/FLEX/DRAW/ examines and reveals all the mechanics of image production which are typically invisible in the final piece. The installation takes over the whole gallery space and is comprised of several parts: two moving image projections, several drawings on acetate, a still on transparent film, and an internal reflection. The installation is self sufficient, providing it’s own light and reconfiguring its own making for the viewer to immerse themselves within. </span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Futura;">In her painted and video work Shin embraces the notion of the pictorial realm as an unreachable space, inserting sculptural forms into a two dimensional world. Here objects hover in gravity defying space whilst constantly referencing their gridded linen and screen confines. </span><span style="font-family: Futura;">Shin's work is influenced by the ritual of circumambulation</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Futura;">(the act of walking around a sacred object), which is set in contrast to the static formations within her work whilst also commenting on the way the viewer interacts with the pieces themselves, </span><span style="font-family: Futura;">tying spatial awareness to a specific location.</span></span></div>

<em>‘Wildness challenges the unity of the symbol, the transcendent totalisation binding the image to that which it represents. Wildness pries open this unity and in its place creates slippage...Wildness is the death space of signification.’</em></div>

- Michael Taussig Shamanism, Colonialism, and the Wild Man</div>
<br />
EXHIBIT B takes inspiration from anthropologist Michael Taussig’s work on shamanism - interpreting it to look at art and a relationship with material, magic and ritual. Artists evoke a sense of slippage - the wild infiltrating the urban, through the symbols and scenes in their practices: the multi-sensual, the dream, the wild, the relic, the ritual.</div>BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-669132678543340732012-03-22T07:26:00.000-07:002012-03-22T07:33:49.999-07:00<div style="background-color: transparent; "><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Times; "><b id="internal-source-marker_0.9604669129475951" style="font-weight: normal; "><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;">ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW</span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center; font-family: Times; "><b style="font-weight: normal; "><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:130%;"><i>EXHIBIT A</i></span></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Times; font-size: medium; "><b style="font-weight: normal; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><br /></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;font-family: Times; font-size: medium; "><b style="font-weight: normal; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Private View: Friday 13th April, 6.30-8.30pm</span></b></div><span id="internal-source-marker_0.9604669129475951"><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Friday 13 April - Saturday 12 May 2012</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Gallery open: Wednesday - Saturday 10am-6pm</span></p><span style="vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; "><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">////////////////////</span></p><span style="vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; "><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span><p dir="ltr" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">ODDS AGAINST TOMORROW is a platform of four exhibitions drawing together some of the most innovative and exciting artistic talent in the UK exclusively throughout 2012.

This is enforced through his meticulous graphite pieces, fearlessly etched into. Aloysius completed his MA at Kingston University and has since been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize and the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition, and continues to exhibit widely internationally.</span></p><p style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Futura; min-height: 15px; "> </p><p style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Futura; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; ">Ward’s dreamlike pieces are borne of her process of layering digital prints, then carefully removing the top ink to reveal under layers. Ward has amassed a huge image library, juxtaposing places and scenes in her work, enacting processes of remembering and forgetting. Ward completed her MA at the RCA and has since been awarded the Terence Conran Foundation Award and the Tim Mara Prize, and has exhibited widely.</span></p><p style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px;

Deleuze and Guattari write in </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial;">A Thousand Platteaus, ‘Make a map, not a tracing...what distinguishes the map from the tracing is that it is entirely oriented toward an experimentation in contact with the real’ </span><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial;">(D&G, 1987).

Torrance uses the way that large corporations see individuals as data and demographics to transform groups of people into choreographed formations, highlighting the current social landscape.

Ridyard seeks out specific sights such as exposed roots and work from photographs constructing pieces which simultaneously allow and obscure the viewers’s perception, demonstrating an inability to fully comprehend our surroundings. Ridyard has shown work in a number of group exhibitions in London, at The London Art Fair and Affordable Art Fair, and has undertaken several research trips throughout Europe and America.</span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; font-family:Times;font-size:medium;"><span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Both artists recently completed their MA at Wimbledon College of Art and live and work in London.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0px; font-family:Times;font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; "><b>BEARSPACE is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10am - 5pm.</b></span></span></p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;"><i><br /></i></span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;"><i><br /></i></span></b></span></div>BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-67153458362568685472011-11-05T06:48:00.000-07:002011-11-05T06:49:37.518-07:00PRINT & DESIGN NOW! 2011<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itMnO9jhbpY/TrU-4Pfa9GI/AAAAAAAAAEo/G_BKn5Q6ufY/s1600/P%2526DN-Yeti%2Bover%2BMount%2BFuji%2Bprint%2Bby%2BPhil%2BAshcroft%2B%2528low%2529.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-itMnO9jhbpY/TrU-4Pfa9GI/AAAAAAAAAEo/G_BKn5Q6ufY/s320/P%2526DN-Yeti%2Bover%2BMount%2BFuji%2Bprint%2Bby%2BPhil%2BAshcroft%2B%2528low%2529.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5671508441694925922" border="0" /></a><br /><br /> <style>@font-face { font-family: "Calibri"; }@font-face { font-family: "Cambria"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }a:link, span.MsoHyperlink { color: blue; text-decoration: underline; }a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed { color: purple; text-decoration: underline; }span.il { }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri;" lang="EN-US">Exhibition Dates: 4 November – 17 December, 2011<br /><br />Preview: Friday, 25 November, 6.30-8.30 pm in assos.

Amongst cooking stains they inscribed with song lyrics from the grateful dead, details of orders and strange doodles all created in between service.

<br />Troia has lived and worked in both Detroit and South Korea. In this exhibition, collage and sculpture merge to create works that are at once both 3- and 2- dimensional. Troia utilizes found images of aerial landscapes and people, folding them into various polyhedral shapes. He incorporates found damaged paper materials, dirtied textile scraps, discarded packaging and occasionally featuring other small street sourced findings. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US" >American curator Darren Barrowcliff met Troia in Detroit, attracted to Troia’s skill in achieving a decisive abstraction, connected to the strong yet subtle choice of imagery, supporting the unique appeal of the Troia’s works. Barrowcliff describes the artist’s ability to “fit a feeling of contemporary finish with historical references, alongside tongue in cheek and trompe l’oeil. The work speaks of youthful angst yet is full of profound wisdoms.”</span></p> BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-5540448296891366112011-04-30T06:35:00.000-07:002011-04-30T06:38:46.123-07:00Seung Pyo Hong-The Monitor Lizard<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sFIn3cg8sY/TbwQYzx3KjI/AAAAAAAAAEM/RG8YfR8YTvE/s1600/secssmall.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 216px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sFIn3cg8sY/TbwQYzx3KjI/AAAAAAAAAEM/RG8YfR8YTvE/s320/secssmall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601370054944303666" border="0" /></a><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>21 May -18 June // Wed-Sat // 10 am – 6 pm</p> <p>Private View 27 May // 6.30-8.30pm</p> <p>In association with South London LAST Fridays</p> <p>BEARSPACE presents a new series of works by artist Seung Pyo Hong. Hong employs a unique style of editioned metal plate acid etchings, hand coloured in oil paint, based on the functionality of humans, animals and machines. BEARSPACE first presented this artist’s work in 2010 soon after the artist’s graduation from Goldsmiths College. The exhibition at BEARSPACE ‘Mecha’ received rave reviews and Hong has been working on a new series of large steel plate etchings and print editions during 2010-2011. </p> <p>Hong’s works depict fictional inventions in a very graphic style, through which he explores the relationship between human evolution and the development of technology. These bright works, directly etched and coloured onto steel plate, focus on the potential fusion of organic matter and machine. This is a futuristic sentiment, used as a motif in scifi throughout the 20th Century. Referencing this, Hong uses retro machinery and characters from the 60’s and 70’s highlighting aspirations from the time fused with scientific development of more recent years. In his odd but fascinating scenes, the viewer is almost left as a detective, working out what a piece of machinery is for, what the characters are playing out and where the scene is set.

Ward's meticulously constructed works are composed of layer upon layer of digital imagery collaged together then broken down and collaged many times over to present an unseen landscape. The images are printed onto canvas from which the ink is dissolved and manipulated by hand. The residue that remains after the ink is removed leaves behind its trace, which carries within it a sense of loss and the evidence that something was there. The combination of that which is present with that which is not creates a reordering that leads us to question the layering of memory within landscape. The work often depicts fragments of the idealised miniature environment of a model village with images taken of the natural world. The subsequent confusion of scale and fragmentation of imagery plus this partial erasure of the image leads to many questions regarding our perception of the world. For example what constitutes reality and what the imaginary, can it be fixed or is it a state of flux, what is utopian and what dystopian?</span></span></p><p style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times;"><br /></span></span></p> <p style="line-height: 150%;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Times;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Jane Ward graduated from the Royal College of Art, MA Printmaking course in 2007.

Some artists work only through the medium of sculpture for others sculpture forms only a part of their process. </p> <br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></div></div><style>@font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }@font-face { font-family: "Arial"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; }p.MsoHeader, li.MsoHeader, div.MsoHeader { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; }p.MsoFooter, li.MsoFooter, div.MsoFooter { margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style>BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-48463750299207597562010-10-27T04:35:00.000-07:002010-10-27T04:39:21.418-07:00BEARSPACE PRESENTS SUZANNE MOXHAY'S SOLO SHOW - FERALIS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kuy3Iaknh_s/TMgPCxOn4PI/AAAAAAAAAC0/IVHjGoSyTCY/s1600/suzanne+moxhay.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 162px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kuy3Iaknh_s/TMgPCxOn4PI/AAAAAAAAAC0/IVHjGoSyTCY/s320/suzanne+moxhay.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532688682473480434" /></a><br />Private View: Friday 29th October 2010, 6.30-8.30pm<br />Exhibition Open: 23rd October - 27th November 2010<br /><br /><br /><br />BEARSPACE is pleased to present “Feralis” the debut solo exhibition by digital artist Suzanne Moxhay.<br /><br />Moxhay will present a new series of work based on a feral and ery scene, typically playing with the overlaying of her own photographs, film imagery and found landscapes to create new worlds, created in the artists mind and projected onto paper through print.<br /><br />With the rise of new modes of special effects and ways in which realities are being explored within film, Moxhay uses the language and technical facilities of filmmakers and special effects to create artwork that engages with new media and ideas of utopian landscapes and deathly scenes.<br /><br />“Feralis” refers to something that is feral, and dangerous.<br /><br /> Suzanne Moxhay (b. 1976, Essex) lives and works in London. After completing a BA Hons in Painting at Chelsea College of Art she went on to The Royal Academy Schools where she graduated with a Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art in 2007.<br /><br />Recent exhibitions include ‘GSK Contemporary: Earth Art of a Changing World’ at the Royal Academy of Arts, and ‘The Wild as Will and Mediation’, Wiebke Morgan, London. Her animation work has been shown as part of the programme ‘Do Billboards Dream of Electric Screens?’ on BBC public screens in cities across the UK.<br />She is currently a Print Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools.BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-67992913610565585392010-10-06T06:49:00.000-07:002010-10-06T07:21:04.969-07:00MULTIPLIED: Contemporary Editions Fair 15-18 October 2010BEARSPACE Gallery is collaborating with Christie's South Kensington and over thirty other London Galleries in 'MULTIPLIED', a brand new and exciting Art Fair debuting this year, coinciding with Frieze Art Fair in close-by Regents Park.<br /><br />MULTIPLIED aims to showcase and promote emerging artistic talent from artists working and showing in London, as well as providing a platform for the cities most pioneering independent galleries and publishers. <br /><br />Expect to see the best of as yet unknown artists alongside the creme de la creme of established artists working today (Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst will be showing), providing a unique opportunity for artistic discovery for 'the next big thing' or a lucrative investment.<br /><br />BEARSPACE will be showing work from:<br />Zander Olsen<br />Seung Pyo Hong<br />Isabel Rock<br />Jasmina Cibic<br />Jenny Wiener<br />Luke Twigger<br />Krister Caster<br />Jane Ward<br />Phil Ashcroft<br />Steven Dickie<br /><br /><br />Looking forward to seeing lots of inspiring work and hearing inspired chatter, come and experience this unique collection of contemporary art editions in all its manifestations, from prints and photographs, to artist’s books and 3-D multiples.<br /><br /><br />Dates and Opening Hours:<br />Friday 15-Monday 18 October<br />Friday<br />09.00-17.00<br /><br />Saturday & Sunday <br />11.00-17.00<br /><br />Monday<br />09.00-19.30<br /><br /><br />Event Info:<br />Christie's South Kensington<br />85 Old Brompton Road<br />London SW7 3LD<br /><br />Admission Free<br /><br /><br />more information on MULTIPLIED can be found on the official website <a href="http://www.multipliedartfair.com"><span style="font-weight:bold;">here</span></a>BEARSPACEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16998161739923039158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506529912559032682.post-22934431520933412512010-08-25T08:00:00.000-07:002010-08-25T08:14:05.392-07:00World Within Worlds<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kuy3Iaknh_s/THUzCVyERSI/AAAAAAAAACs/TO45gy77qck/s1600/Picture+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 209px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kuy3Iaknh_s/THUzCVyERSI/AAAAAAAAACs/TO45gy77qck/s320/Picture+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509365834457564450" /></a><br /><br />World Within Worlds is BEARSPACE’s inaugural exhibition of the new calendar, featuring a major exhibition, off-site installation and performance programme by emerging and recently graduated artists. <br /><br />Curated by BEARSPACE Director, Julia Alvarez <br /> <br />Artists: Suzanne Moxhay, Zander Olsen, Jaime Tarazona, Jane Ward, Jenny Wiener, Diana Taylor, Damien O’Connell, Steven Dickie<br />11 September 2010 - 09 October 2010 <br /><br />‘Get up, go to work, come home, get up, go work, come home but with an added element, something that wasn't there the day before, something that actually makes you think about all this routine, this place we live and call life. Ridiculous, odd, generous, pretentious and maybe a bit stupid but something that reminds us that real life is not elsewhere. It's here.’ <br />Mark Titchner, Deptford X 2010<br /><br />‘World within Worlds’ is BEARSPACE’s main curated exhibition of the year including recent graduates and emerging talent curated by BEARSPACE Director Julia Alvarez.
