NEW SENSATIONS 2010

        Channel 4 and The Saatchi Gallery announce this year’s
New Sensations prize for UK art students graduating in 2010


NEW SENSATIONS 2010

Channel 4 and The Saatchi Gallery are delighted to announce this
year’s New Sensations competition, which is open to all UK art
students graduating from BA and MA courses at UK colleges and
universities in 2010.

Through Saatchi Online, UK graduates are invited to enter the
competition with work from their 2010 degree shows. The deadline for
entries is Friday 2 July.

New Sensations was launched in 2007 by Channel 4 and The Saatchi
Gallery to find the most imaginative and talented artists graduating
in the UK and to support students leaving art college. In 2007 and
2008 shortlisted students have sold their work and been offered
exhibitions as a result of the competition.

An exhibition of the 20 shortlisted graduates chosen by the judges
will take place in London during Frieze Week in October 2010. The
judges will also choose four finalists, each of whom will be given a
bursary to make a new work and will have a 3 Minute Wonder Channel 4
film made about them which will also be aired in October. The winner
of the competition will be announced in October 2010.

The judges for the 2010 New Sensations Prize are the artists Mat
Collishaw and Rachel Whiteread; founder of Hotel Gallery in London,
Darren Flook; Director of The Centre for Contemporary Art Nottingham,
Alex Farquharson; and founder of the Zoo art fair, Soraya Rodriguez.

Thomson + Craighead - HICA - 20 June-25 July 2010

                                              


 
 
Thomson + Craighead                20 June - 25 July 2010

Exhibition opens Sunday 20 June 2010

The Highland Institute for Contemporary Art

Thomson + Craighead's exhibition at HICA will include new time-related pieces: a major new film work, The Time Machine in Alphabetical Order; is a complete rendition of the 1960's film version of HG Wells novella Time Machine, re-edited by the artists in its entirety into alphabetical order. This re-working imposes a formalistic time travel on the original movie and presents it back as a more esoteric and rhythmic narrative assemblage.
 
Another work, The End is an intervention into HICA's picture window, where the words 'The End' are fixed onto the inside of the glass in a style and scale one would associate with the end credits of a movie.  By the simplest means possible, the artists gently fictionalise the surrounding landscape by suggesting a sense of cinematic time overlaying the real-time view out of the window.
 
http://wwwthomson-craighead.net

The exhibition runs from 20 June ˆ 25 July 2010, and is open on Sundays 2 - 5pm, or by appointment.

 The ‘Mulberry Tree Press’ is a fictitious publishing house created specifically for this exhibition.

The exhibition reflects on the relationship between space, object and text, how they exist one in the other, side-by-side, and separate. The focus on liminality, the boundary or threshold between different locations and states of production lie at the heart of the exhibition. It is concerned with the translation or transcription that takes place in order to facilitate this passage from one place to another, from the studio and the gallery to the printed page.

"They Do Things Differently There" - Edinburgh College of Art's MA Contemporary Art Theory curatorial project at Talbot Rice Gallery - Panel Discussion, 12th June 2010

Please join our group of eleven postgraduate curators along with guest speakers Anne-Marie Kramer (University of Warwick), Daniel Watt (Loughborough University) and Nicholas Oddy (Glasgow School of Art)for this informal yet informative event, in connection with "They Do Things Differently There" - Edinburgh College of Art's Contemporary Art Theory MA students' curatorial project at Talbot Rice Gallery.

An intervention with historical archives, taxonomy and museology is a gesture of alternative knowledge or counter-memory offering the possibility of an alternative future.  The panel discussion will offer an opportunity to further expand and

interrogate the conceptual threads of 'They Do Things Differently There'.

"When we study, discuss, analyse a reality, we analyse it as it appears in our mind, in our memory. We know reality only in the past tense. We do not know what it is in the present, in the moment when it is happening, when it is. The present moment is unlike the memory of it. Remembering is not the negative of forgetting. Remembering is a form of forgetting ." (Milan Kundera 1995)

  
Saturday 12th June, 2-4pm, Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh.

FREE event  but due to limited seating booking is essential - please reserve your place by emailing roccagutteridge@yahoo.co.uk

Ruth Ewan at Chisenhale: 2-4 July 2010

Dreadnoughts
2-4 July 2010

Devised by eca Alumni Ruth Ewan, Dreadnoughts is a series of guided walking tours around East London. Each walk takes its starting point from an historical struggle in the local area. Dreadnoughts borrows its title from activist Sylvia Pankhurst's radical newspaper Workers' Dreadnought for which she was imprisoned for sedition. The walks will be led by invited specialists and accompanied by a series of ephemeral art works, including badges and short live works, marking the spread of information along the way.  

Dreadnought No° 1
Friday 2nd July 7–9pm
Don’t let their ideas into your mind and house
Historian and educationalist David Rosenberg will lead a walk around
Whitechapel and Stepney exploring anti-fascism from the 1936 Battle of
Cable Street to the present day.

Dreadnought No° 2
Saturday 3rd July 4–6pm
Who owns the city?
Anna Minton author of Ground Control: Fear and Happiness in the Twenty-First Century City will lead a walk around Docklands and the Isle of Dogs looking at the legacy of the 1980s regeneration period and the implications of the forthcoming Olympic development.

Dreadnought No° 3
Sunday 4th July 4–6pm
We want equality!
Feminist historian and author Sheila Rowbotham will lead a walk around Mile End and Bow focusing on the rebel women of East London who asserted their political rights and fought for better living and working conditions from the 1880s–1920s.

Places are limited and booking is essential. Contact mail@chisenhale.org.uk to reserve a place and receive information about meeting points for each walk.

Dreadnoughts is part of A Sense of Place, Chisenhale Gallery’s flagship
exchange programme for three secondary schools in Tower Hamlets – Bishop Challonner Catholic Collegiate School, St Paul’s Way Trust School and Langdon Park School – and artists with specific interests in collectivism, collaboration and direct engagement with social and cultural contexts. Chisenhale Gallery has received an investment from Deutsche Bank and Arts & Business to develop their education programme. The Arts & Business Investment Programme is funded by Arts Council England.

MOBILE CINEMA TOUR




ROMANA SCHMALISCH
FRI 18 JUNE
7PM

“Mobile Cinema” is an apparatus that unites experimental lecturing and moving to different places. To be more concrete: it is a reconstruction of a film prop from Alexander Medvedkin’s film “The New Moscow” (1938): a projection and viewing table where an engineer on his journey to Moscow presents his designs and urban visions for the new city – a bizarre model that is somewhere between urban model, cinema, and plate camera.
Similar to the engineer in the film, the artist travels to various places with the “Mobile Cinema” and presents some of her films and filmic research on urban space and urban visions, among them a filmic collage of many of her own films as well as film materials not previously used. The film clips address in different ways the changes of urban space and the social changes that come with them.
