East Pop / Root 5

EAST POP is a dynamic new venture taking the extraordinary creativity which exists in East London on tour to West London, Berlin, Edinburgh and beyond…

Red Gallery have been documenting the East London art scene and in 2010 produced the East End Promise exhibition and catalogue, a record of the area from 1985 – 2000, created by those that lived through this transformative time.
EAST POP is a living document of what is happening now and gives exposure to art and design collectives who have used their strength as groups of creative individuals to produce dynamic exhibitions, live art events, products and publications.
It is an exciting opportunity to bring East London artists and designers together and we believe EAST POP will have cultural historical significance in years to come.
EAST POP is a project initiated by Red Gallery with artist/curators Alice Herrick and Kate Kotcheff.

Shoreditch
London

Exhibition open to the public from 19/05/2011 to 22/05/2011

Established in 2007, the Catlin Art Prize recognises and supports the development of recent art graduates in the UK. Following their final degree shows, artists are selected for their potential to make a significant mark in the art world during the next decade and invited to demonstrate their progress by presenting a new body of work at the Catlin Art Prize exhibition, held twelve months on from graduation.

Based on this criteria, a panel of judges will award one artist with a cheque for £5,000. This year we are delighted to welcome the collector Richard Greer, galleriest Simon Oldfield and curator Julia Royse on board to deliberate over the winner.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the award, the current exhibition features five new graduates selected from THE CATLIN GUIDE 2011, alongside past winners and former participants. The 2011 finalists are: Leah Capaldi, Noemie Goudal, Darren Harvey-Regan, Russell Hill and Juliette Losq.

Also exhibiting are Alex Ball, William Bradley, Jasmina Cibic, Adam Dix, Paul Greenleaf, Reynir Hutber, Sarah Lederman, Will Martyr, David A. Smith, Alex Virji, Brigitte Williams and Miyo Yoshida.

This year, a supplementary award has been introduced. All 17 participating artists have been invited to submit a written proposal for The Catlin Commission, a £3,000 fund towards a new addition to the Catlin art collection.

In Bloom /SIB

Space In Between present;  In Bloom  

By Jennifer Bailey and Kazimierz Jankowski

Gallery open Saturdays 12-6pm, or by appointment.

 Space In Between

Unit 26 Regents Studios

8 Andrews Road

London E8 4QN

 14/5/11 – 11/6/11

Private View: 12/5/11, 6-9pm

 Space in Between is pleased to present In Bloom, an exhibition by Jennifer Bailey and Kazimierz Jankowski. For In Bloom, Bailey and Jankowski present a series of expressive oil paintings of jugs. These works are shown against ornate wall paintings that are intended to complicate their understanding whilst providing the conditions for their appreciation.

 The Jug Study paintings by Bailey are shown on the central gallery wall. The works were made in quick succession in a temporary studio lit by a single fluorescent light, decorated with 12” LP covers and containing a patterned rug, wood offcuts and a drum kit. Made with thin, drippy paint in luminous colours, the works sat in this non-studio studio for weeks as both a product of the surroundings and its decoration. The jugs were not painted from life, and are formed simply of bold, gestural brush strokes that sit over the abstract backgrounds.

 To either side of the Jug Study works are large, text-based illustrations by Jankowski. Jankowski is interested in the use of text as a framing device for artwork, specifically in respect to its limitations and potential to interfere with understanding. At the edges of the gallery, potted plants have been positioned in front of the paintings. Like the letters in the illustrations, the plants are at once functional and decorative, and both complement and partially obscure the works.

 In Bloom is named after a track from Nirvana’s second album, Nevermind. Nirvana were preoccupied with the issue of authenticity, a quality that is indeterminate or even abstract. Bailey and Jankowski themselves came to Nirvana after the demise of the band, so took the title more as a light metaphor for their nascent collaboration. In Bloom is intended to be extemporaneous and fresh: a show for springtime.

 In Bloom is a presentation of Bailey and Jankowski’s ongoing collaborative practice.

HOXTON ART GALLERY LAUNCH

64 Charlotte Road
Hoxton
London
EC2A 3PE

Email: mail@hoxtonartgallery.co.uk
Telephone: 0207 739 6852

Hoxton Art Gallery opens on the 19th May 2011 with the inaugural exhibition  Symbiosis. The exhibition will be presenting work by some of Britains finest emerging talent.

The exhibition presents work by six of London’s leading emerging artists; Ellie Davies, Katie Sims,
Kentaro Yamada, Lucy Wilson, Noemie Goudal and Valerie Furnham.

Symbiosis, from the Ancient Greek sýn "with" and bíōsis "living", is a term that was utilised in the late 19^th century to describe ‘a living together’ or a ‘living in community’. Today the term is most commonly used within the biological sciences to describe a commensal interaction between two species or living organisms. Hoxton Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition presents work by six of London’s leading emerging artists whose work explores the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the natural environment. The show includes a range of photography, painting, sculpture and installation works each exploring the sublime through the contemporary lanscape, as well as the macro and micro realms.

Hoxton Art Gallery is a commercial art gallery in the heart of East London with an exhibition programme presenting artists at the forefront of contemporary practice. The gallery fosters ongoing relationships with new contemporaries with a strong curatorial programme consisting of group and solo exhibitions. Founded in 2011, the gallery extends over two levels on Charlotte Road in Hoxton. Hoxton Art is directed by Matthew Nickerson, supported by Lydia Cowpertwait, Head of Gallery, and Fiona Neil, Head of Projects.
