FORUM Funeral - Elegies & Eulogies

Thursday 28 August 2014

6.30pm - Late
Open to all / Starting at ArcadeCardiff
Queen's Arcade, Cardiff

For our very last FORUM we are heading to ArcadeCardiff for a closer look at Hannah Biscombe's exhibition Infinitas. 

Hannah Biscombe’s work is grounded in the use of photograms – a primitive photographic technique that records the space around objects on paper- made with living creatures.

From 7.30pm we'll gather at Urban Taphouse to lament the loss of FORUM; a programme that has run for over 4 years linking artists with each other, their projects and art spaces across the city.

We invite you to join us to celebrate FORUM's accomplishments and the audiences, artists and contributors who have made it a success. We'll also be taking feedback from Forum-goers as to how the programme could evolve in the future.

As always FORUM is FREE and all are welcome to come along and join the discussion.

July Forum - G39 talk

This month Forum is linking in with G39's talk series, and going down to listen to Andrew Hunt, Artist and Curator. Here is the information.

Andrew was formerly curator at Focal Point Gallery and International Project Space, Birmingham. He's now freelance based in London. He'll be talking about his approach to projects and about how spaces can create identity and an international looking programme outside of London.

Shift: Ukraine in Crisis

SATURDAY MAY 3 – SUNDAY JUNE 22, 2014

Opening Night: Friday May 2

Monday May 26 – Monday June 1: ‘Shift’ curation event

On November 24, 2013, approximately 100,000 civilians joined together in Kiev’s Independence Square (locally known as Maidan), to protest against the Ukrainian government’s decision to reject a proposed political and trade accord with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Russia. A few days later, riot police began to beat the demonstrators. New anti-protest laws were imposed and the demonstrators prepared to defend themselves with force. Violence escalated in December, January and February and the first demonstrators were killed. The government resigned and elections were called for May 2014. In March, a ‘referendum’ encouraged by the Russian government was held in Crimea: the majority of voters backed the region joining Russia and leaving Ukraine. Ukraine is in crisis: the people have protested, a president has tumbled and borders have been disputed and breached. The political fabric and cultural identity of a nation have been questioned, challenged and continue to be disrupted.

The exhibition opens May 2, and between May 26 and June 1, the show itself will ‘shift’ and ‘change’, responding to the situation on the ground following the presidential elections on May 25. Images will be moved, and new ones will be brought in to the gallery space in a dynamic curatorial event unique to Third Floor Gallery.

Exhibiting photographers: Alexander Chekmenev (Ukraine), Maxim Dondyuk (Ukraine), Corentin Fohlen (France), Louisa Gouliamaki (Poland), Brendan Hoffman (USA), Tom Jamieson (UK), Marco Kesseler (UK), Anastasia Taylor-Lind (UK/ Sweden), Donald Weber (USA), Emine Ziyatdinova (Ukraine)

Bloody Poetry

Beth Greenhalgh

Tues 03 - Sun 22 June: Ongoing Installation11 - 5pm

Wed 11, Thur 12 & Fri 13 June 6.30pm Performance

The scene is taking place within a shop, within a shopping centre. The scene will involve body, sound, sculpture, text and voice. Behind the scene a relationship with  a seagull is formed.

The scene:

So I open my mouth and you look inside. It is enlarged now and easy to follow the arrowed path down to the heart. You reach it's beat. The Vena cava is stretched at length. It has darkened.

The aorta, a distant throb, a distilled ripple. The landscape is forming, between the mouth and the heart. It grows at its own pace and is measured in colour. The mouth makes noise. This noise, a fuzz of sound causes light to freeze around objects. We become poetry. We become beat.

We become beat poets.

Born in Huddersfield, Beth Greenhalgh studied Time-Based practice at Cardiff school of Art and Design. Recent works include 'Little Tokyo' The Tate london,'Little Green' National Eisteddfodd, Wales and 'The yellow Wallpaper' The ATTIC, Cardiff. Her work uitilizes highly aesthetic scenes to evoke uncanny ritual and images alluding to a mystical reality based on a distorted "popular culture".

three/tair at gallery/ten

Molly Rooke, a previous stall holder at a Ffotogallery book-fair is featured in a new exhibition alongside contemporaries Helen Booth and Sue Williams.

4th April - 3rd May 2014

Gallery/ten presents three/tair, a three-woman exhibition of new work by painters Helen Booth + Sue Williams + Printmaker Molly Rooke

Spanning from the recognizable to pure geometric abstraction, two-time pollock krasner foundation award winner Helen Booth's layering + reuse of materials - wether marble dust, paper or thread - remains constant, creating work of delicate fragility + depth. Royal collage of art graduate Molly Rooke's often humorous work from new narratives through her treatment of found images through various printing processes. The 'realistic expectations' series plays on typical postcard imagery + its promise of the perfect holiday destination, but reality is never quite as imagined. Challenging the fantasies of feminism, sexuality, gender + culture, three/tair features arts mundi 2 shortlisted artist  Sue Williams' most recent work, a series of lithographs entitled 'talk 2 me: communication' - great examples of the core themes of her practice coupled with Williams' recognizable strong mark-making.

Ian Parry Scholarship 2014 opens for entries

Photographers have until 07 July to enter this year’s Ian Parry Scholarship.

Launched in 1991 in honour of Ian Parry, a 24-year-old photojournalist who was tragically killed whilst on assignment for The Sunday Times in December 1989 in Romania, the Scholarship comes with a £3500 grant for the production of a documentary body of work. The winner is also automatically added to the final list of nominees for the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam, and will join the Reportage by Getty Images agency as an Emerging Talent.

“This year is the 25th Anniversary of the Ian Parry Scholarship,” says Rebecca McClelland, the organisation’s creative director. “We will be remembering Ian and marking this special occasion with a series of new free events, publications and exhibitions.”

She adds: “The scholarship provides an important platform to showcase your work and also the chance to be mentored by us in the photographic industry. We are looking for stories that have been well-researched with originality and not necessarily in far flung destinations.”

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain - g39

Beyond its literal meaning about the unsuccessful pretender to the throne, this exhibition’s title is a mnemonic. Each word represents another, prompting us to recall the colours of the visible spectrum in sequence. Richard = red, Battle = blue. The words are stand-ins for other images. Mnemonics are used to aid recall, but rather than simplifying they add another layer of complexity to a phrase’s meaning.

The artists in Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain tread similar ground. Turner Prize winner Laure Prouvost overlays spoken fantastical narratives onto commonplace objects, the pace, whimsy and charm of which often contradict the images she presents. Drawing equally from the world of symbolism and metaphor, Catrin Davies & Lewis Wright refer to the Classical painting tradition of the still life in which objects stand in for a bigger narrative. The painted surface becomes a code for the viewer to crack. Catrin & Lewis appropriate this tradition by assembling still life sculptures and flooding them with pigment. Jorge Lizalde’s work looks at the way we remember and how we recall events. In his Mnemonic series, short filmic poems are created from online resources in response to participants’ early memories. 

Artists: Jorge Lizalde, Catrin Davies and Lewis Wright, Laure Prouvost. 
And Unit #1 features Megan Broadmeadow (4 April - 3 May); Shaun Featherstone / Frock n Robe (7-24 May); James Green 28 May - 21 June).

RIGA Photo Month 2014

Until April 20, photographers and visual artists are invited to submit their photobook dummies and self-published books for the international SELF PUBLISH RIGA competition. The winning entries will be featured in an exhibition as part of Riga Photo Month in May 2014.

Self-publishing makes it possible for artists to make and distribute their books themselves, avoiding the restrictions dictated by mass production. Bookmaking has become a more democratic process, available to everyone. The aim of SELF PUBLISH RIGA is to introduce a wider audience to the concept of self-publishing, using succesful examples to focus on its possibilities.

 

Entries will be judged by an international jury: Markus Schaden (founder of the Schaden publishing house, DE), Teun van der Heijden (photobook designer, NL), Ania Nalecka (photobook designer, PL), Matt Johnston (founder of the Photobook Club, UK), Juris Petraškēvics (artist and professor, Art Academy of Latvia) and Nico Baumgarten (photographer and bookmaker, DE). Members of the jury as well as other international partners from Portugal, Sweden, Poland, Estonia and Lithuania will visit Riga in May for the SELF PUBLISH RIGA event, including a photobook exhibition, discussions, lectures and workshops.

 

The winner of the contest will have the chance to attend an International Summer School of Photography 2014 (http://www.issp.lv/en/summer-school/2014/about) workshop of their choice free of charge; the three best entries will receive individual porfolio reviews with the jury members. Top Ten books will receive a special online feature. More information on the competition and submission requirements: www.selfpublishriga.com

Come Along Do: Under the Skin

• April 3, 2014 Chapter Common Room Join us after the screening of Under the Skin on April 3 for Come Along Do, an informal and lively platform for discussion around art and film, led by Gill Nicol. Whether you have something burning to say or would simply like to listen and ponder over the film, just come along - everyone is welcome. After landing on Earth and slipping into the skin of a human woman, Scarlett Johansson’s space creature drives around Scotland seducing young men before one of them gives her pause to look at other aspects of human nature. An abstract, fascinating deconstruction of sexual power with a hypnotic musical score, this is a mesmerizing cinematic experience. Under the Skin is director Jonathan Glazier’s third feature film since his award-winning debut Sexy Beast and 2004’s critically acclaimed Birth. See the trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoSWbyvdhHw Tickets £2.50. Tickets for the film must be bought separately. Biography Gill Nicol trained as an artist and has worked for numerous organisations including Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, Tate Liverpool and Arnolfini in Bristol.

A Fine Beginning: Made in Wales Exhibition at Arcade Cardiff

A Fine Beginning is an open Welsh photography collective, established by James O Jenkins with the ambition to develop a platform to discover and showcase contemporary photography being made in Wales today.

The collective launched with a publication in May 2013 at the publishing weekend of the inaugural Diffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography. The issue showcased the work of four of the current members; Gawain Barnard, Jack Latham, Abbie Trayler-Smith and James O Jenkins. In foregrounding photography in Wales, the festival provided an opportune moment to launch the first instalment of A Fine Beginning.

A Fine Beginning aims to offer a platform to photographers making work in Wales to have their photography seen and appreciated in Wales and beyond. 

‘A Fine Beginning: Made in Wales‘ is at Arcade Cardiff on 14th March 2014 (to 30th March). The exhibition will show work from the collective as well as selected images from work  featured on their blog. Please join us.

Interference: Samuel Hasler

28 March 2014, 6pm

Chapter

As part of INTERFERENCE, a programme of residencies that offer Wales-based artists a studio and curatorial dialogue, Samuel Hasler will be opening up his studio practice to the public from the 18-30 March. The residency will culminate in a Book Launch event of Samuel's first published work, O, A Prayer Book, with performances by three other Book Works published artists.

In this temporary studio Samuel will present the imagery and processes that sit alongside his writing. In this, there is a precarious balance between fact and fiction; the writing and performances manipulate the mythology of the ‘wild bohemian’ artist at work. In his draughty garret, with cigarettes, absinthe, and a waste-paper bin overflowing with failed manuscripts, the studio is not just his daily working environment but a place to indulge in and critique these spurious fantasies.

From Fri 28 Mar – Sun 30 Mar there will also be a series of events in collaboration with Book Works publishers to mark the launch of Samuel’s first published work.

O, A Prayer Book: Book Launch and Performance

29 March 2014, 2.30pm

Gallery

Chapter are pleased to host the book launch of Samuel Hasler's first published work, O, A Prayer Book.

An incantation and repetition of prayers marks the introduction to a young man’s isolated, creatively stifled existence. Deluded by the stagnating mythology of great European modernist artists, he escapes the drudgery of the supermarket nightshift but not his perverse imagination. He travels to Moscow and Venice on a journey that causes reflection on his romantic ideas: his desire for a wild, bohemian life; his crude libido and his increasing doubts about his faith. The book operates as both a story and as a spine connecting performances, readings, installations and printing, operating as material context for a body of work.

The evening will feature performances and readings by Samuel Hasler and invited artists Katrina Palmer, Francesco Pedraglio and Sarah Tripp, each presenting material from their forthcoming books to be published by Book Works in 2014. No booking required.

 O, A Prayer Book is published by Book Works and funded by the Arts Council of Wales and The Henry Moore Foundation.

Why Do Artists Write?

30 March 2014, 5pm

Gallery

In Conversation: Gavin Everall, Jane Rolo, Samuel Hasler, Katrina Palmer and Francesco Pedraglio

Whilst writing and publishing gives form for the exploration of varying discourses, it has remained - despite the historical significance of artists writing - a marginal, often misunderstood form of art. Artists Samuel Hasler, Katrina Palmer and Francesco Pedraglio, with Book Works’ publishers and editors Jane Rolo and Gavin Everall, discuss the use of fiction, prose and spoken word and the shift to writing and publishing within the art world.

In 2014, Book Works celebrates thirty years of publishing multiple forms of artist books. As one of the UK's most established Artist Book publishers, they support and encourage the relationship between text, image, spoken word and performance. Their artist publications blur lines between experimental prose, fiction, and exploratory discursive texts.

This event is free and no booking is required.

Film Screening: Berberian Sound Studio

30 March 2014, 5pm

Cinema 2

When a naïve and introverted sound engineer is hired to mix the latest film by horror maestro Santini, he spends his time surrounded by bloodcurdling screams and the sounds of hacked vegetables. He finds himself lost in an otherworldly spiral of sonic and personal mayhem. As much a celebration of predigital film-making and the giallo genre as it is a striking and unpredictable psychological horror.

Following the screening, artist Samuel Hasler will be in discussion with host Ben Ewart-Dean to discuss his explorations of contemporary Giallo.
