ASSEMBLY GROUP SCULPTURE SHOW

Closed: 23 Dec - 4 Jan 2011

--------------------------------------------

Preview: Sat 4 Dec 2010

2-4pm (in association with Deptford Gifted weekend)

--------------------------------------------

BEARSPACE will host a room of wonderful objects on plinths displaying multiples to singular pieces, assemblage to porcelain. This exhibition forms a snapshot of current trends in new types of sculpture, bringing together small works by emerging artists concerned with assemblage and sculpture. Artists have been selected from several art colleges in 2010, as well as a range of artists familiar to BEARSPACE these include; Blue Curry, Jonathan Trayte, Ellie Doney, Luke Twigger, Krister Klassman, Jasmina Cibic and Wayne Lucas. Each piece resembles a particle of the artist’s full practice. Some artists work only through the medium of sculpture for others sculpture forms only a part of their process.

BEARSPACE PRESENTS SUZANNE MOXHAY'S SOLO SHOW - FERALIS

Private View: Friday 29th October 2010, 6.30-8.30pm
Exhibition Open: 23rd October - 27th November 2010



BEARSPACE is pleased to present “Feralis” the debut solo exhibition by digital artist Suzanne Moxhay.

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.

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.

“Feralis” refers to something that is feral, and dangerous.

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.

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.
She is currently a Print Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools.

World Within Worlds

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.

Curated by BEARSPACE Director, Julia Alvarez

Artists: Suzanne Moxhay, Zander Olsen, Jaime Tarazona, Jane Ward, Jenny Wiener, Diana Taylor, Damien O’Connell, Steven Dickie
11 September 2010 - 09 October 2010

‘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.’
Mark Titchner, Deptford X 2010

‘World within Worlds’ is BEARSPACE’s main curated exhibition of the year including recent graduates and emerging talent curated by BEARSPACE Director Julia Alvarez. This exhibition features artists who aim to subvert reality in response to the theme set by Mark Titchner for Deptford X, as well as unearth new burgeoning talent from the wealth of degree shows in 2010.

Each artist creates a world that teases our existence, taking elements of movement, architecture and landscape, subverting them by adding, subtracting and disseminating their visual structure.

APOPHATIC Pareidolia is a condition... Mike Chavez-Dawson (& Co.)

31 July 2010 - 28 August 2010

PREVIEW EVENING: FRIDAY, 30 July, 6.30-8.30 pm in association with Deptford Last Fridays, galleries in Deptford open until 8.30 pm, with afterparty at the Old Police Station.

APOPHATIC PEREIDOLIA is a condition… features two new works ‘Hypotyposis’ and ‘The Obvious Manifesto, [The Question Hangs]’ by Mike Chavez-Dawson, both continues the artists interest in creating multi-layered ‘performative’ works that explore the slippage between the artists intention and the audiences perception; via a complex web of narratives, art history & theory, social and psychoanalytical reference points.

Here he’s utilised documentation from two bodies of ‘performative’ works to create a series of laser etchings that sit between drawing, print, sculpture and performance. Chavez-Dawson also continues to reconcile ‘authorship’ boundaries by negotiating and revealing collaborative components to diffuse an individual agency.
