BettinaBuck@Rokeby

Posted on: Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

German artist Bettina Buck's first solo exhibition at the gallery opens 27.06.2008.

Using such diverse and commonplace materials as foam, carpet, latex and clay the artists’ recent sculptures oscillates between beauty and repulsion and structure and formlessness to create intimate, delicate moments of uncertainty.

An conversation between the artist and Vincent Honoré, curator of the David Roberts Art Foundation, London, is available to read on the website.

Flexing Brown opens on 27 June; plea Private View on Thursday 26.06.2008

Wayne Chisnall at A Gothic Story

Posted on: Monday, June 23rd, 2008

Wayne Chisnall's sculptures feature in a new group show "A Gothic Story" at Shoreditch Town Hall Basement from 26th June to 6th July 2008.
 
The slightly dilapidated venue creates a wonderfully atmospheric setting that compliments the gothic nature of the work.
 
Wayne's sculptures that will be exhibited in the show include The City – a mobile museum of the macabre; Nail Box – a piece that draws influence from African fetish pieces; and Sleeping Beauty Box – a box with a dream-like interior.
 
Other artists in the show are David Yates, Elizabeth S Clark, Gloria John & Michael Turner, Hedy Esmail, Jonathan Waller, Karen Neill, Katherine Skeldon, Naheed Raza, Oscar Murillo, Suzanne Hobbs and Teresa Mills.
 
Wayne comments: "The term 'gothic' can mean different things to different people. For this show I chose to exhibit pieces that explore the term on various levels. For example, The City is such a detailed sculpture that it naturally invites the viewer to form their own narrative. Everyone draws their own story from it – from perceiving it to be a fairytale castle to worrying that it is a nightmarish prison."
 
Teresa Mills, Curator, comments: "Influenced by my own emotive thoughts and research on my French Huguenot and English silk weaver ancestry, I then opened that wider for other artists to come in and brought twelve artists together to tell a gothic story in experimental work in sculpture, film, photography and sound."
 
Details:
Private View:
Wednesday 25th June, 6-8.30pm
 
Public talk:
Thursday 3rd July, 7pm, Mayor's Parlour.
Talk by Harriet Harriss MA (RCA), ARB Art & Architecture Historian
