Southampton Film Week 2016

Personal Politics with Brit Bild

Description

If you love exploring the world, storytelling and books, join us on our monthly fictional journey that’s just as rewarding as (and less exhausting than) the real thing. Whether you’re a London local or new to the city, come and connect with others who want to see the world with fresh eyes and open minds.

A few years after the deadly 2011 terror attack in Norway’s Utøya Island, Otto and Sofie are trying to put the pieces of their life back together without their beloved daughter, who was murdered alongside countless other youths on one of the worst days in Norway’s history.

Hear award-winning Norwegian writer Brit Bildøen read from her latest book Seven Days in August, translated by Becky Crook. It is the story of Otto and Sofie’s grief, painstakingly narrated over just one week – a window into their attempts to navigate a life together, face to face with their own helplessness and mortality. Told in Bildøen’s signature lyrical prose, the story slowly unfurls the horrors of a national tragedy, while peeling back the layers of sorrow that infect relationships over time. Brit will be in conversation with Dr Meg Jensen, Director of Life Narrative Research Group at Kingston University.

The reading will be followed by a discussion of how Bildøen’s fiction weaves together the personal and the national, the domestic and the epic, and touches on her interest in contemporary climate fiction. Translator Becky Crook will contribute on video exploring her role in translating Seven Days in August from Norwegian into English.

This event takes place on Monday 14 November 2016, 6:45 - 9:00pm.
Click here to book tickets.

This event is part of Wanderlust: Great Literature from Around the World, a monthly event series at Free Word that takes place on the second Monday of each month and celebrates the best fiction in translation.

  • Andy Abbott A.Abbott1@bradford.ac.uk

Description

Between January and March 2017 Gallery II at University of Bradford will host its third Art Lab. Individuals and groups from a variety of disciplines are invited to use the Gallery as a space in which to share ideas; show and develop new work; host discussions, screenings and workshops; foster new collaborations; and plan long-term projects. There is a focus on interdisciplinary learning and varied approaches to research that aim to traverse boundaries between so-called ‘hard’ and ‘social’ sciences.

Each lab has a loose theme or thread that runs through the activity. For this Lab we are particularly interested in artists, musicians and creative practitioners working with technology in creative and critical ways - particularly with augmented and virtual reality, mobile devices and cyberspace - and research and practice around labour theory, alternative economies, and feminist and autonomous activity.

As well as the gallery space itself we are able to offer a contribution towards materials and travel as well as administrative and production support in kind. If you are interested in taking the opportunity to develop work in the unique context of a technology institute in one of the UK’s most diverse cities then please send an outline of the project you would like to develop (no more than 500 words, preferably with images and/or links to video and online work) to Andy Abbott, Producer Music and Visual Arts, on a.abbott1@bradford.ac.uk by 5pm Monday Nov 7th.

The Arts Labs at Gallery II form part of a programme to develop a centre for socially applied arts, supported by Arts Council England and University of Bradford.

Transpattern: A Solo Exhibition by Miklós Ladányi-Tóth
5th - 12th November 2016
Opening Night: 4th November, 18:00 - 21:00

Surface Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Hungarian artist Miklós Ladányi-Tóth, Transpattern.

Transpattern is inspired by the current political situation in Hungary, primarily the problem of massive emigration. During the exhibition, visitors will encounter visual elements associated with travel and emigration: boots cast as small ceramic statues, lacy suitcases, maps of Hungary, embroidery that evoke a world left behind. Intriguing, useless, dysfunctional objects, everyday objects transformed and embellished with patterns, become synonyms for contemporary Hungary.

The Opening Night will feature a reading by Rezső Jarmalov from a text specially commissioned for the exhibition by Art Historian Professor Tamás Aknai. There will also be music from the hugely talented Hungarian band, Foreign Accent. Transpattern opens in the Project Space in conjunction with EM16: Pulse in the Main Gallery. As always there will be a donations bar with ales from local brewery, Springhead.

Opening Hours:
Opening: Friday 4th November, 18:00 - 21:00
Exhibition Dates: 5th - 12th November
Tuesday to Friday: 12:00 to 18:00

Soft Engineering brings together the work of three well established textile artists for the first time; Deidre Wood, Alison Ellen and Ann Richards. Having pursued separate careers in knitting and weaving, the artists found many common threads that have inspired them to work together to create this joint exhibition. These makers are all vigorously engaged in experiment and are passionate about materials, processes and the new forms emerging from them.  Despite employing different techniques and structures, they find that their approaches interconnect and cross over in intriguing and sometimes surprising ways.

Writers' Mutual: Brick Lane

Writers' Mutual: Brick Lane

Description

Brick Lane, Tuesdays 7-9pm

This workshop running on Tuesdays has been a weekly fixture in the lives of writers from all over London ever since the first meeting in 2007. Held in Brick Lane, Writers’ Mutual is for experienced writers – not necessarily professional, but with a demonstrable track-record of literary creation. At each meeting, several of our number present work they are currently developing outside of the group, in order to receive detailed criticism and opinion from the other group members, in a supportive environment. Whilst weekly attendance is by no means mandatory, writers will benefit most from regular attendance, in order to both give and receive feedback.


This is very much for writers wishing to pursue publication. Building on Brick Lane Bookshop’s strong track record of support for emerging writers, the group has already published one anthology, sold via the bookshop, Amazon, etcetera.

Attendees from all genres are welcome (recent input has included work from writers of literary fiction, erotic fiction, horror/suspense, autobiography, teen fiction etc).

Sessions cost £9, payable in person.

Please drop me a line at workshops@nquentinwoolf.co.uk

Second Sunday Screening - Sigmund's Shorts: In the Flesh

Description

13 November 2016, 2pm

FREE with admission - no need to book

Join us for the latest in our series of Second Sunday Screenings. The screening will be introduced by artist and filmmaker, Adeline de Monseignat.

‘Everyone at Carrara knows that stone weeps. ... All of us have experienced how alive stones are, that they behave like sponges, can bend, expand and that they have a voice ... for one who listens.’
Dominique Stroobant, Sculptor, Extracted from Leitch, Alison (2010), Materiality of Marble: Explorations in the Artistic Life of Stone

‘In The Flesh' (2016) is a 5-min artist film by Adeline de Monseignat inspired by Alison Leitch's text 'Visualizing the Mountain' (2007) about the marble quarry as being 'alive', 'weeping at night' and having a 'soul'. In this mother-to-daughter relationship, the artist plays the role of The Sculpture, of marble skin and human flesh, becoming increasingly more alive, discovering the malleability of her own body, a creature that yearns to reconnect with her roots and crawl back into her mother's womb, the quarry. By bringing to light the quarry’s ability to ‘live’, the film also exposes its potential to ‘die’.

Arts Council England Funds New Play By Rose Collis

Arts Council England Funds New Play By Rose Collis

Description

Writer and performer Rose Collis has been awarded research and development funding from Grants for the Arts, supported by Arts Council England, to create a two-act stage play based on her book 'Colonel Barker’s Monstrous Regiment', about the extraordinary life of Valerie Arkell-Smith aka Colonel Victor Barker.

Virago published 'Colonel Barker’s Monstrous Regiment' in 2001, to enormous critical acclaim.

The funding coincides with the start of a two-week residency at the Gladstone Library awarded to Rose Collis after she was shortlisted for its prestigious Writer-in-Residence 2016 programme. The residency commences on October 29, with her event 'Rose Collis and Her Trouser-Wearing Characters' taking place during the Library’s popular Hearth Festival.

'The Trials of Colonel Barker' will be developed to rehearsed reading stage, in time for the second (Brighton And) Hove Grown Festival of new writing taking place March 24 to April 2 2017.

Prior to the rehearsed readings, Rose Collis will present two tie-in public engagement events: a free ‘Lunchtime Lecture’ at Worthing Library on February 28 and a talk at Jubilee Library, Brighton (date tbc).

Participating artists for 'The Trials of Colonel Barker' will include Keith Drinkel, Philippa Hammond and Guy Wah.

Rose Collis said, ‘I am enormously grateful to Arts Council England for supporting another of my projects, and also to the Gladstone Library for the two-week residency which will be spring-boarding this exciting new project. Writing this play will provide an exciting and vital challenge in my development as a stage writer, breaking new ground to create my first two-act play, and my first for a cast of more than two performers.’

Signs of Id, which opens on the 11th of November, takes visitors on a journey into the bowels of LV21, a 40 metre lightship moored at Gravesend which has found a new life as an arts and performance centre since being decommissioned.

 Sergei Furst and Francesca Ori, known for their lightboxes and sculptures, have used the function of  LV21 as a warning of impending danger to inform their new installation, integrating their works into the machinery and hidden spaces of the ship. In an interconnected series of works they present  our obsessive pursuit of  scientific truths as  Conradian voyages into darkness. Ori and Furst elaborate on these themes using their manual skill in facial expression sculptures imprisoned in aquariums and illuminated narratives and images presented in multilayered lightboxes.

 In the gutted engine room at the heart of the boat two short installation films are projected into large air compression chambers. InLeaving Rats on a Sinking Ship, Furst weaves a fictional narrative around the crowding experiments using rat populations run by John B. Calhoun in the 1960s. In Emotional Illiteracy Ori simulates the manipulation of emotions for behavioural ends, and highlights the increasing use of fear as a social tool.

 A short Video by guest artist Dan Wootton and sounds by Berlin-based electronic composer Alberto Yusta embellish the discourse. 

 Furst and Ori's most recent exhibitions were Sagrada Familiaat Farley Farm Gallery in West Sussex,  in the grounds of the home of Lee Millar and Roland Penrose founder of the ICA; andModular Body in theAteneo in Malaga in May 2016.

 They received an Elephant Trust Award and the exhibition is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Art Council England.

 DETAILS: Signs of Id

Free entry to the public until the 27th of November 2016

  • Nick Hennegan nick@mavericktheatre.co.uk

Description

What is the difference between a Creative Producer and a 'normal' Producer?  Where do Artistic Directors fit in?  What about Finance, the law, choice of plays or musicals? Then there's employing actors, working with creatives, commissioning new works, copyright, contracts, fundraising, other events, investing in theatre, parties and pitfalls!

The workshop looks at everything needed to put on a show or event or start a production or theatre company, from the local pub, to a national tour, to the West End of London. It's for those already working in the industry and anyone who has ever felt a desire to create theatre or events and promote them.  The workshop looks at the pros and cons of commercial production, setting up a theatre company and local/national touring.  It will also be useful to anyone who has considered investing in theatre, or is just curious about what a Creative Producer does!

Previous participants at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and RADA have included students, amateur actors, producers, directors, theatre administrators, film producers, arts council officers and writers.

"An excellent course - Nick combined solid helpings of advice and experience with sprinklings of anecdotal experience, which was a great combination."  Part Suspended Blog.

The course is run by Nick Hennegan and features other guests, live and on video.

Creativity

Description

Location : Spectrol unit, Garrard Way, Swindon, SN3 3HY

Dates : 5th Nov – 9th Nov 2016

Open : 10am – 3pm Daily

Cost : Free Public Admission

Historically we were always trying to capture the fleeting image, one that reflected reality as we saw it. By contrast, in a world of iPhones and Instagram we now often see images that present an altered sense of reality. Although photography is a creative art form in itself, the concept of this theme showcases the results achieved when camera settings, editing techniques and creative angles are used to the photographers advantage.

All art is subjective and we fully expect visitors to be challenged by the work on display. Some images may be considered beautiful, while others are thought-provoking; some may even challenge your perception on what constitutes a photographic image.

CREATIVITY is a touring photographic exhibition, created and supported by The Photographic Angle.

For more information see  http://ift.tt/2aLMLiX/exhibitions                

Please check website prior to attendance for latest information as dates may be subject to change.

Disabled visitors are advised to check with us before visiting an exhibition so that suitable access can be provided.

Open Call: Master Class

1–8 February 2017

Zabludowicz Collection, London, is putting out an open call for participants in its annual Master Class creative development workshop for artists.

Developed in collaboration with artist Doug Fishbone, Master Class offers a small group of emerging artists from around the country, the opportunity to participate in a free week-long workshop with leading international artists, art professionals, and curators from the Collection. The project works with emerging artists from across the UK, at a point in their career where the opportunity to intensively critique their practice with peers and established artists provides a crucial boost to their work. The programme creates a productive space for discussion and builds connections between artists from different regions.    

Guest tutors currently include: Chantal Joffe and Heather Phillipson with others to be confirmed.

During the intensive workshop participating artists discuss their practice with the guest tutors in tutorials and critiques, and extend their professional networks through attending professional practice seminars, gallery visits and socials. 

Participants are selected through a combination of nominations sought from artist-led spaces around the country, and a national open call. 

The Master Class is offered for free. Participating artists need to be present for every day of the workshop from Wednesday 1 February – Wednesday 8 February 2017 (inclusive). We contribute £50 towards travel costs to and from London but ask the participating artists to organise their own accommodation.

Master Class is now in its fifth year – more information on the last four editions can be found here: 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016

We are looking for artists who:

  • are at a point where the opportunity to critically discuss their work would be beneficial to their practice
  • have been practicing for at least three years post BA
  • are not undertaking  formal or informal education (e.g: MA study or other informal education programme)

Application guidelines:

Please submit a single pdf document with a cv (1 page max), a short artist’s statement (250 words), up to 10 images and 3 web links to other documentation (online video work etc).

Women on Women | Nadia Nervo Kasia Wozniak Laura Ellenberger

Description

The Fitzrovia Gallery presents Women on Women, an exhibition exploring female portraiture through the work of three London based photographers. Comprising works created using various photographic processes, the exhibition highlights the vastness of the medium and its importance in changing the role of portraiture since its appearance some 150 years ago. 

Focusing on seriality, the exhibition’s curatorial line takes its cue from the notion of repetition as pattern making. Subtleties in composition or format, reiterated throughout the series, capture and reflect the artistic approach of the woman behind the lens. Taking advantage of the immediacy unique to photography, these three artists create imposing, clever and foremost poetic portrayals of women as they know and envision them.

The works on display reflect different approaches to the female portrait. For the series I am, initiated in 2013 and ongoing, Nadia Nervo invites women to sit for her without wearing any make up. Concentrating on her models’ close portrait and stripping the image of narrative, she reveals both her subject’s vulnerability and challenges the viewer’s expectations on a portrait. Laura Ellenberger’s series This is not a Reclining Nude is the most recent from a collaboration between the artist and her long-time friend Alex. With a shared passion for swimming in the sea, and both being visual artist, Laura and Alex use the female body to depict gravity and balance. Referencing the passive pose of the reclining nude, the selected images show Alex employing every muscle in her body to not let go of an overturned sofa and fall to the floor. Kasia Wozniak’s portraits of Reba Maybury, created as part of fashion shoot, echo the original craft of the medium and undermine mainstream commercial photography with their unabashed overlapping of tradition and contemporaneity.

26th October to 19th November 2016  Private View Thu 27th 18.00 - 20.00

Wednesday to Friday, 12.00 – 18.00, Saturday 10.00-17.00 and by appointment.

Imperfect Reverse: Private View, 27 October, 5 - 8pm, Camberwell Space Projects

Description

Camberwell Space Projects presents Imperfect Reverse, a group exhibition curated by Laurence Noga, in collaboration with Saturation Point, an editorial and curatorial project for reductive, geometric and systems artists working in the UK.  The term ‘imperfect reverse’ intimates a move towards a structural logic, generative grammar, allowing an outside system or set of rules to drive the making of a series of works. 

Bringing together the work of artists from the 1960s and 70s Systems Group, to younger artists working today, this exhibition surveys a wide range of approaches to the notion of an imperfect reverse. 

Artists include: Dominic Beattie, Andrew Bick, Katrina Blannin, Jane Bustin, Richard Caldicott, Simon Callery, Colin Cina, Nathan Cohen, Chris Daniels Natalie Dower, Tim Ellis, Julia Farrer, Sue Kennington, Sharon Hall, Andrew Harrison, Hanz Hancock, Michael Kidner, Sylvia Lerin, Patrick Morrissey, Marta Marce, Ian Monroe, Laurence Noga, David Oates, Andrew Parkinson, Jonathan Parsons, Charley Peters, Carol Robertson, Wendy Smith, Daniel Sturgis, Trevor Sutton, Kate Terry, Estelle Thompson, Finbar Ward 

Imperfect Reverse will tour to the Ruskin Gallery, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, 24 November 2016 – 21 January 2017

Safe Ground is a charity working with people on a range of projects both in prison and the community. Family Man (FM) and Fathers Inside (FI) are Safe Ground’s flagship family relationship programmes for men in prison. The aims of the programmes are to help prevent institutionalisation and re-offending by looking at how their criminal behaviour impacts on relationships, strengthen family ties, develop staff-prisoner relationships to create contacts that matter and to develop and enhance skills essential to all aspects of resettlement.   FM/FI participants are provided with the opportunity to credit their capabilities, which have often been unrecognised in a family, school or work situation. Since 2003, the courses have been delivered in over 40 establishments across England and Wales to over 5,000 participants.

Arts Based Methodology

We use drama in all of our group work programmes, allowing us to explore the management of conflict, supporting people to take risks, try new things and perform – often exposing opportunity for new thoughts and ideas to develop.   Our methodology is not explicitly therapy, but does hold a space for cathartic expression, enabling people to reach new goals.  The use of character and story in our programmes allows participants to experience other perspectives; experiment with new ways of being or doing and feel the impact of their actions from another point of view. The arts help us understand ourselves and each other and we would like you to be part of this process.  So if you are enthusiastic, creative and believe in the power of the arts we would love to hear from you!

The course will be Tuesday 16th – Thursday 18th January 2017

Cost to participants: Accommodation for 3 nights, food and refreshments £155.00
