Alice Anderson's Time Reversal

This is one worth seeing! Alice Anderson (Beaux Arts/Goldsmiths graduate) has translated her childhood reality/fantasy/dreams into one incredible body of work. She's showing a mix of installation, sculpture, photography and video.

It's at Rifle Maker--which if you've never been there, it's quite an interesting space, it's old, slightly disheveled and truly feels like you're invading somebody's abandoned home.

(on until the 24th of April)

I hope everyone has a productive and exciting Easter--see you in April!

Sculpture trip - The plan (trains, times and all)

Robin and a friend are coming to Yorkshire Sculpture Park too. Numbers are going up...

Here's the plan:

Meet at Kings Cross at 5 to 8 in the morning (that's 7:55 am) to catch the 8:10 train to Wakefield Westgate (WKF). (It's a bit early, I know, but just imagine the fresh morning air in your nostrils, reminding you that you're alive and ready to embrace the beauty of sculpture and the mystery of material truth).

You can buy train tickets here. Not cheap (British rail is well pricey) but good news is that the sculpture park is free.

The train journey takes 2 hours and once we get there we can share a £10 cab ride to the park or get there by bus and feet.

We'll probably get there around half ten, so we can make the most of their short opening times (10am to 5 pm). We can get the 18:17 pm train back, after a nice pint in a local pub.

I'm buying my train ticket right now. The quickest you do it, the cheaper it is.
It's going to be a great day out. By the way, we can picnic on the grounds (semi-lying next to your favourite sculpture).

Sculpture trip

Hello you guys
This is Emmeli Person, the new Person in the scupture block, now making my first addition to this blog. And it's about something as grand as Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

Me and Robert are planning to take a daytrip to Wakefield visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on, a hopefully sunny, wednesday the 24th of March, so precisely a week from now.




There's some really interesteing exhibitions going on as well as the permanent collection set out in the rough landscape. Here's the website for the park and some more about the special exhibitions rolling right now.

We hope you guys wanna join us, we're really looking forward to a great day outside London featuring huge sculptures, a stunning landscape and some very nice people.

We're taking off early from Kings Cross Station to get the most out of the day. Around 8 in the morning is good to be in Wakefield two hours later in time for the opening of the park. Robert has got the correct train information and will post it here when everything is set.

Happy easter and Go! Unit 7!
This has been a very pleasant first addition, looking forward to do more.

Description

I am sculptor creating large 3D installation with found photographs. I am looking for 2 assistants to help me with the realization of 3D models between the 20th and 22nd March and the 27 - 28 March (availability does not need to be all these days) for a new project. The work would consist of helping me to cut out some photographs, while I create the models. The work is volunteer-based, although I will cover travel expenses, and will provide lunch, tea and biscuits. I am also happy to write a reference letter when needed in the future.

If you wish to see my work: www.justineblau.com

Studio's location is in Shoreditch, please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish any more information.

monday!

hey guys,
as we planned on Thursday,
on Monday me are having a little "end of term/easter" celebration. After handing in the porposals, it would be nice to share something to eat and drink and have some music on for the rest of the day,
so bring anything you want and some music from your country, as well as any game or thing you might find interesting to experiment or want to share,
wu!

HENNING BOHL: CORNER OF A CORNFIELD at CUBITT: OPENS FRIDAY

Henning Bohl's practice explores traditions, conventions and their limitations in making and displaying art. Working on primed canvas with a restricted palette of coloured paper, he produces collages that recombine elements from a lexicon of graphic motifs. These pictures refer to both painting and sculpture. They function as ‘props’, resembling theatrical scenery. Works are often stacked or leant in a manner that acknowledges their temporary occupation of the space. His installations frequently operate against the architecture of the gallery, creating obstructions or interruptions and directing paths.

Bohl's exhibition takes its title from a nineteenth century landscape painting by William Davis. Once referred to as ‘loving depictions of utterly insignificant subjects,’ Davis’s compositions are oddly prosaic in comparison with the more intense work of his Pre-Raphaelite peers. A hunting scene entitled View from Bidston Hill (1865) depicts a distant figure on horseback and a hare in the foreground almost camouflaged within the heath. This discreet treatment of the hunt caused one critic to describe the hare as ‘an eccentric intrusion.’

Bohl's title refers to Davis’s tendency to invert perspective and reduce conventional points of focus to marginal details. This shift in emphasis is echoed by Bohl's decision not to hang pictures on the existing walls but construct temporary architecture for the exhibition in the centre of the space. His installation takes the form of a three-dimensional composition employing a modular structure bearing two new collage works. Bohl's construction employs sculpture that takes the form of tables with surfaces made from plasterboard, transferring the vertical white planes of the gallery to a tiered, horizontal format.

This will be Henning Bohl's first solo exhibition in the UK.

Pandemonia

At "From Floor To Sky", we encountered this living sculpture who calls 'her'self "Pandemonia". She was fantastic and how people reacted to her was even more interesting.

Writing this to let Julieta know that she mentioned us on her blog on that day, basically.

Quote : "Given a guided VIP tour of the show from the sculpture students of London's highly acclaimed St Martins college."
Here's the link.

She's graduated from Chelsea College of Art, for those who are interested.
