"Bootylicious' in the  IW Pride and 2018 Winter Pride Arts Award Exhibition at Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight.

'Beyond the Binaries', Quay Arts

'Bootylicious' has been chosen for the Emerald Winter Pride Art Awards

Simon Tarrant, Director of the Emerald Winter Pride Art Awards said, "Winter Pride's latest art competition was inspired by the 50th anniversary celebrations of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act that decriminalised homosexuality. Responding to our theme, Beyond the Binaries, we received over 700 entries from around the world and 17 Finalists have been selected. Artists have really risen to the challenge to create work that stimulates dialogue about modern day issues - not just of gender, identity and sexuality - but of race, religion and politics. The resulting exhibition is both profound and thought provoking, a show not to be missed."

Held in conjunction with The House of St Barnabas' not-for-profit visual arts programme The Collective, proceeds from the sales of all artwork goes towards The House of St Barnabas' Employment Academy, supporting people affected by homelessness into lasting paid work.

The exhibition runs from 26 January - 6 June at The House of St Barnabas. To visit please book on to their monthly art tour: http://bitly.com/HoSBTickets

A touring exhibition of the 2018 Winter Pride Art Awards will take place from 9 June to 30 July at Quay Arts, Newport, Isle of Wight in partnership with Isle of Wight Pride, who recently won the bid to host UK Pride 2018

October 24-28.
Opening: Tuesday October 24, 6-8 PM

Artist Talk and Closing Event: Saturday, October 28, 2-4 PM

On the net four young gay men talk about the difficult terrain they have crossed to get to this point, sharing their struggles with school, bullying, racism, loneliness and prejudice, turning over current questions of identity and gender politics, the bonds and betrayals of friendship and their first thrilling, disappointing and troubling experiences of love. Over a year of broadcasts and Instagram streams and intense and supportive friendship, they experiment with multiple self-images and potential future trajectories, broadcasting in the process to a large online following.

I am delighted to announnce that Min-Wei Ting and I will be showing a new collaborative film at Sheffield Instiute of the Arts, as part of 'In the Open', a multi-disciplinary exhibition held over several venues, opening on September 6 2017.

For this proposal we shall visit Bukit Brown, the ancient Chinese cemetery in Singapore, collaborating as painter and filmmaker, Singaporean and British. A new relief road has been carved through the rain forest, its non-traversable cutting cleaving in two the former cemetery’s sectors. Entering any rainforest space in Singapore is always to cross a boundary, to abruptly slip out of a cityscape that has been constructed on human exceptionalism into a world in which that exceptionalism is disrupted.

What happens when  artists work collaboratively? – what changes in their practice and in their ways of thinking about making art? Ten artists, five from Singapore and five from the United Kingdom have joined together to  create five duo projects, in a 21st Century remake of the Surrealists’ game of  ‘Exquisite Corpse’. The films, performance, text, photo-montage and installations that have come from these collaborations will be shown at the  Objectifs Gallery in Singapore, March 10 – 17 2015.

While some of the  pairs knew each other before the start of the project, others are meeting for the first time –  and some of these may never even meet face to face. All of the five collaborations have this element in common: they have all been devised and predominantly created in virtual reality – by Skype, email, IM messaging or video file sharing, produced in separate rooms and studios across cities and continents.

‘Mysterious Objects at Noon’ has been made possible with the generous support of the National Arts Council, Singapore.  It runs in conjunction with the GREAT British Week Singapore (7-14 March 2015) hosted by the British High Commission and British Council Singapore.

We are grateful to Objectifs for all their help in staging the exhibition. The show will travel to ArtLacuna, London, in October 2015.

Short film 'Loitering' (https://vimeo.com/110193105), painting and text for 'Over Time', curated by Anne Robinson, University of Greenwich, September 2014

Over imearThe Over Time Art roject

OVER TIME.

Over Time  is a visual arts project about time passing, curated by Anne Robinson. There are ten artists taking part, working across a range of media including painting, film, performance and animation.   Each one will make a response to spending precisely the same fixed amount of ‘clock time‘ in specific stretch of the Thames foreshore around Enderby’s Wharf, during the weeks and months leading into the exhibition/performance period. The work derived from time spent in this historically resonant and atmospheric riverside space will result in a weekend of activities: 13th and 14th September, 2014 and an exhibition at the University of Greenwich 18th September to 16th October There will also be a day of performance and film works at the National Maritime Museum on Sunday 26th October. All of the invited artists are already engaged in some way in working with aspects of temporality, such as perception, elasticity, affect, politics, recording and value.

The space on the foreshore is particularly important to the project because of the richness of the layers of time visible there – the current rapidly changing landscape, the natural markers, the tides and the bend of the river and the industrial heritage and history, including the site where the first underwater telegraph cables were laid. We are also working with local contacts to set up workshops responding directly to this environment in light of imminent changes. The project is being developed in collaboration with Ian Thompson, sound artist based at the University of Greenwich and The Facility Creative Practice as Research group at London Met University. The other confirmed artists are: Ella Finer, Rachel Gomme, Ian Thompson, Claudia Firth, Charlie Fox, Sarah Sparkes, Victoria Gray, Katharine Fry and Gavin Maughling, Jo David and Birgitta Hosea all of whom have outstanding  reputations in their various fields, including performance digital animation, dance and sound and  have been involved in arts projects of international standing.
