Residents / SWAP: UK / Ukraine Residency Programme

Carl Gent is an artist from Bexhill-on-sea, UK.

Much of their recent work has sought to refictionalise the life of Cynethryth, eighth-century Queen of Mercia through a range of amateur dramatics, tabletop gaming, self-publishing cesspits and the parading of decapitated kings in community carnivals.

Together with Kelechi Anucha they investigated the girly and divine links between folk and church song, and their ongoing collaborative practice with Linda Stupart has given birth to a range of live, published and exhibited restagings of the 1990s video game Ecco the Dolphin.

Their latest pamphlet, The Balls of Alban, was published by Monitor Press in 2022 and their upcoming commission for Deptford X opens in September 2023.

Florence Peake is a London-based artist who has been making solo and group performance works intertwined with an extensive visual art practice since 1995. Florence will be in residence at Hospitalfield for four weeks in July 2024.

Presenting work internationally and across the UK in galleries, theatres and the public realm, Peake is known for an approach which is at once sensual and witty, expressive and rigorous, political and intimate. Peake produces movement, interactive sculpture, paintings that use the whole body’s physicality, text, film and drawings which respond and intercept each other to articulate, extend and push ideas. Peake’s work explores notions of materiality and physicality: the body as site and vehicle of protest; the erotic and sensual as tools for queering materiality; the subjective and imagined body as a force equal to those that move in our objective flesh-bound world.

By encouraging chaotic relationships between the body and material, Peake creates radical and outlandish performances, which in turn generate temporary alliances and micro-communities within the audience. Peake’s painting is as an extension of the body itself: it is produced gesturally and performatively, and is both a manifestation of the external body in motion and the way personal experience and feeling is recorded within the tissue and bones. Their painting practice comes together with sculpture and performance in a reciprocal nature: engaging in a shared dialogue and creating multiple modes of processing performance, and the interrelations between dancers, audiences and sites.

Peake is currently touring FACTUAL ACTUAL ; SPG, Fruitmarket Edinburgh and Towner Gallery 2024. Peake was part of Hayward Gallery’s touring British Art Show 9 (2021).

Alexandra Beteeva (b. 1999, Moscow) is based in Glasgow and received her BA in Painting and Printmaking from Glasgow School of Art in 2022. Interested in post-Soviet spaces that are loving and familiar, a process of presenting history in the form of personal and collective memory, she asks what it means to be homesick for a home one never had. Motivated by themes of immersion through pattern, the Caucasus becomes an interesting heterogeneous space to explore. Stuck between history, place and time, she crystallises the collective experience of the past. Alexandra was selected for the RSA New Contemporaries award, Bloomberg New Contemporaries and is a recipient of the Euan Stewart Memorial Prize for Printmaking.

Kialy Tihngang is a multidisciplinary Glasgow-based visual artist. As a British-born Cameroonian, Tihngang’s research-based practice focuses on colonial European misrepresentation, extraction, and demonisation of West African cultural practices, but also on her own misremembering, misreading, and romanticisation of said practices, primarily by designing artefacts from reimagined histories and speculated futures.

Through their multi-disciplinary practice, they connect with the liminal spaces of Spirit and Nature by exploring death as a gateway to Other. Currently based in Glasgow, this has looked like turning an arsonist’s abandoned motorbike into wax crayons; gathering, preserving, and drawing roadkill; textile-making using their cut-off hair. They unite an expansive, intuitive creativity with exacting scientific enquiry and a sharp attention to words.

Scottish based artist Stephen Sutcliffe (1968, Harrogate) creates film collages from an extensive archive of British television, film sound, broadcast images and spoken word recordings which he has been collecting since childhood. Often reflecting on aspects of British culture and identity, the results are melancholic, poetic and satirical amalgams which subtly tease out and critique ideas of class-consciousness and cultural authority. Through an extensive editing process Sutcliffe’s works pitch sound against image to subvert predominant narratives, generating alternative readings through the juxtaposition and synchronization of visual and aural material.

Go Sing is a south london based artist duo formed by laur rozier and ada egg koskiluoma.

Through compositional soundscapes, texts and performances they explore the landscape of love, rivalry, companionship and the role of the unapologetic body which embraces its continual state of stretching and transforming. The performances each contain sets of movements which reflect on themes of comfort and leisure and how to challenge them with a critical, yet humorous eye. Their work and research is focused on the idea of the body being a site of voyeurism, resistance, desire and objectification, and investigates the subtle tensions of everyday social interactions.

Joe Davies’ process-led practice interprets images, forms and materials and uses them as the basis for new experimentation, creating sculptures, installations and films that survey themes like technology, biology and communication through metaphorical languages and open ended narratives. His recent work uses technical methods of drawing and model making as a way of thinking through notions of craft, computing and determinism, taking influence from conflations of science and religion in works of science fiction and contemporary philosophical debates on consciousness. Davies engages with art as a method of hermeneutics, a strategy of reading into the world and revealing unforeseen truths.

Uster’s collaborative practice is rooted in anthropological, ethnographic and scientific research, interwoven with speculative fiction. An imaginary shift in nature within her narratives forms the foundation for alternative social structures, cultures, economic systems, futures and histories.

Since Uster became an unpaid-carer, her sculptures have considerably reduced in scale and manifested in the form of wearable artworks, under the title ‘O T H E R S C A P E S’, as an alternative, mobile mode of presentation.

Judith Davies is a ceramicist and drawer, often working in response to place.  The sense of touch is primary to her practice, both in making and in how her work is experienced; methods of working  necessitate hours of repetitive touch, both in the forming of the clay and in the working of the surface.  She is interested in how an object acquires history, its ‘story’; her processes have become a way to imbue a piece with layered marks and veils of colour; worn back, washed away, repeated until the work seems to embody its own history.

Parallel activity in drawing finds ways to stop and walk away and let the materials react to each other and to the surface. This way the marks emerge as the materials dry, creating edges, boundaries, pools , water courses. She adds found material into the ink-ancient peat, red clay, ground stones, so they leave deposits and wash lines leaving behind indexical trace of place.

Supporting someone with progressive memory loss means my life forms around accommodation to slippages in memory. Experiencing memory swirling around, unhinging from structure, all prompts deep questions about what is fair, what is just. The residency enables me to confront this day-to-day reality; to grapple with the contemporary tangle of identity politics, which, whether implied or otherwise, has questions of justice as fairness at its heart.

Martin Steuck is an artist living and working in Glasgow, their practice is broad and seeks to incorporate DIY sound-making and collaborative improvisations, film, drawing, social media performances, comedy and poetry. Through personal experiences of precarity, financial insecurity and physical displacement, they have become interested in listening to different voices which speak of experiences of exclusion, othering and demonization brought on by austerity, specifically with regards to policies which take explicit and prejudicial aim at massively reducing funding for social care, education, housing and mental health. Their practice seeks to generate an archive of the everyday and connective practices that amplify and give space to neuro-divergent experiences of life in the post-2008 political context. Here Steuck finds the birthplace for a critical faculty, which can help unfold strategies of survival and resistance.

Romy Danielewicz is an artist and producer with a background in performance. Their primary area of interest is writing in and around contested forms of sociality. Romy’s work often relies on collaboration as a support structure, both in terms of authorship and execution of the work. Using the workshop form as testing ground, their practice moves to both unpick and divest from the convoluted power relations we have been socialised into under late capitalism. In 2021, they are working on a debut novel on the subject of lovesickness, bad influence and queer erasure.

Typographer Will Holder is the editor and publisher of F.R.DAVID, a journal concerned with reading and writing. He mediates and reproduces polyphonies of voices as design: bringing meaning and public access to things. His work has taken the form of oral and printed publications; and is informed by an ongoing study of song and music-making as a co-authored process, and production model for other disciplines. Holder sees conversation as means and model for production; and the role that memory plays between the printed page and the body as live, oral publication. As a self-driven study of graphic notation and collective reading processes, he has, with musician Alex Waterman initiated a series of publications, since 2012: Agapé (Miguel Abreu Gallery), Between Thought and Sound (The Kitchen, NY), The Tiger’s Mind (Sternberg), Yes, But Is It Edible?, The music of Robert Ashley for two or more voices (New Documents) and In Memoriam Mary Cecil… (Ociciwan and uh books).

Anya Sirina is a performance artist with a research and movement-led practice based in Glasgow. In her work, Anya plays with the audience-performer relationship to explore the dichotomy of vulnerability and empowerment. Anya saturates her movements with meaning through the use of repetition, creating an atmosphere of changeability or flux wherein actions seem violent, sensual and humorous all at once. Audience and performer travel through meanings and power dynamics together in an attempt to reach a catharsis.

Anya Sirina graduated from BA Hons Contemporary Performance Practice at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2019.

Aqsa Arif uses the interdisciplinary mediums of poetry, photography, installation, printmaking and film to construct complex structures in which she explores the surreal nature of the human psyche.

Emelia Kerr Beale graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2019 and now lives in Glasgow. At the moment they work across drawing, sculpture and textile to process the complexities of illness and centre feelings of discomfort and pleasure, anxiety and joy. Through the use of recurring motifs, they consider how imagination and the repetition of imagery can be coping mechanisms.

Heather McDonald graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2020, receiving a First-Class degree in Sculpture and Environmental Art. Prior to her degree, McDonald studied and worked in industries such as prop-making, fashion and jewellery. Elements of these craft-based practices have informed and shaped her work to date. She draws on biological research rooted in physiology and genetics to create works exploring those themes utilising techniques such as embroidery, metal casting, fabric manipulation and fused glass. The works produced are complex and intricate blending industrial and craft techniques to a high finish.

Upcoming exhibitions include RSA New Contemporaries in spring 2022 of which McDonald has been successful in receiving support from The Dewar Arts Award enabling her to create a new body of work for the exhibition.

Ivy can become obsessed; they create collections, assortments and playlists. Primarily using ceramics to validate and make real their obsessions that often start digitally. Whether this be an image of a swimming pool or the latest pop banger, there is a fascination with giving these obsessions a place in the physical world. A romantic desire for touch. A declaration of joy.

Ivy wants to make more versions and more collections real through the tactile clay process. The work is playful and involves bringing people together.

Ivy graduated from Sculpture & Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art in 2019.

Jek McAllister graduated from DJCAD in 2019 and has since helped to establish Wooosh Gallery (the world’s best car park based A4 format gallery.)

Her practice is always concerned with the everyday experience and is a process of collecting, examining and displaying artefacts such as; films, objects, gestures, language, etc, whilst embracing the
circumstances and utilising what is to hand.

Work on event based projects like the Orange Juice Club, DAIN HINGS and the PPPC (Powerpoint Presentation Club) have created a set of circumstances to bring people together in a space to do things, share
skills, experiences and knowledge.

Julia Carolin Kothe is an artist based between Glasgow, UK and Frankfurt am Main, D. She graduated with distinction from the Glasgow School of Art (2019, UK) and Kunsthochschule Mainz (2018, D) respectively. Her artistic practice moves between different media, materials and collaborative formats — at the crossroads of sculpture, text, sound, choreography and performance. The sculptural installations negotiate the (im-) possibilities of communication between (digital and physical) objects, spaces and bodies. Her practice evolves in non-linear acts or chapters based on narratives combining fiction and theory that respond to particular conditions of spaces and the bodies within it. The processual nature of her practice breaks away from the notion of a singular, finished work. Instead, her work offers the spectator a spatial, atmospheric, physical and psychological experience, casting an unforeseen light on particular environments and contexts.

Recent works were shown at CCA: Glasgow (radiophrenia, 2022, Glasgow), Kunsthalle Mainz (2021, Mainz), Rosa Stern (2022, Munich), Queens Street Studios (2021, Belfast), POKY – Institute of Contemporary Art (2020, Mainz), ATLETIKA Gallery (2020, Vilnus), mañana bold (2019, Offenbach am Main) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2018, Frankfurt am Main), amongst others.

Kiên Denier is a Vietnamese-born French research-based artist. Stemming from personal narratives, the issues of displacement, diasporic identity, assimilation and radical ambivalence are important concerns of his practice.

Having graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a BA(Hons), his practice is as much about the endeavour of making as it is its utterances, often expressed through trans-disciplinary collaboration and research-specific media.

Non-native invasive plants overgrowing exhibition spaces, out-of sync automatons and screeching tripods, hovering kites and drones, his practice often manifests in objects aiming to resist the categorisation of sculpture and function, displayed and utilised through installation and performative gestures.

Lauren La Rose is an award-winning American multidisciplinary artist, and educator who advocates for equitable access to the arts and has worked with veterans, young people, and families impacted by the criminal justice system. Motivated by the personal and political, her practice investigates counter narrative and participatory video practices, expanding our definition of what it means to be mixed-race, disabled, and queer.

Since contracting Covid-19 in March 2020 her practice has shifted from video to text based experiments exploring the power of personal storytelling and protest. Set within a social disability model, these works interweave historical references, personal experiences of racism and the role of social media.

The symbol of the speculum is deeply embedded in Marie Hamrock’s work. The word emanates from Latin meaning mirror and to look. A speculum is both a gynaecological instrument and a mirror. Within her practice it has served as a navigational instrument, a speculative lens through which to observe themes such as sexuality, the esoteric and post-humanism.

Hamrock creates surreal worlds and alternate universes with complex narratives that are neither linear nor continuous. They exist in the nebulous space between fact and fiction.

Marie Hamrock graduated from BA Contemporary Art Practice at Gray’s School of Art in 2020.

Sean Kemp is a research-based artist interested in procedures of re-enactment, reconstruction and retelling. Stemming from an interest in theatrical conventions of storytelling and the object of the script, his practice draws into dialogue rhythms of rural, agricultural life with issues of fate, intention and recurrence. Using image-based media and sculpture, his installational works render the landscape as scenery as well as reimagining tools as potential props, inert and awaiting activation.

Born in Angus, Scotland, Sean Kemp graduated in 2020 with a BA(Hons.) in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art and has previously exhibited works at The Garment Factory (Hopelessly Devoted, 2019) and Studio Pavilion (Motherlode, 2019).

On returning to an artistic practice in 2010 her work shifted to include walking as art and out of these experiences a PhD emerged, Contouring: Women, Walking and Art (2020). The thesis combines a critical, analytical discussion of women artists of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s with a reflective evaluation of the emergence of walking in her work. This return to practice was driven by her experiences as a hill walker, and from literature which foregrounds historical walking practices, largely within the field of postmodern sculpture. Her practice has adapted navigation, route-finding skills and contouring as artistic strategies, tools and processes.

Scottish artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler (1978) has developed a practice that is, at the same time, singular and collaborative, poetic and political, structural and documentary, archival and deeply human. With an emphasis on communities of people, outward thinkers and the history of the left, his 16mm films tell the stories of alternative movements in Britain, from psychiatry to photography to music to education. Whilst some of his early films dealt with music and musicians as subjects, in later works sound itself becomes a key concern.

Christina McBride is an artist based in Glasgow. Her practice is located within lens-based enquiry with a committed focus on analogue practices/processes, particularly in relation to landscape. Recent concerns include alternative printing processes and exploring the use of natural materials and forms. Her pursuit is not only in a more embodied and sensory engagement with a context within a specific place and time, but also as a way of responding to wider environmental concerns and discourses.

She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally including solo exhibitions in New York and Mexico City. She also recently co-founded FIX Photography Collective.

Emily Beaney is an artist, filmmaker and PhD researcher at Edinburgh College of Art (supported by SGSAH).

Hannah Leighton-Boyce is a visual artist working in sculpture ranging from site specific and durational works, to drawing, sound and installation. Her work explores material, environmental and sensory relations and the politics of labour, through invisible processes such as the transmission of energy, the passing of time, accumulative and reductive forces.

Hannah Sabapathy trained as a print designer at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art. Over the last decade, her work has focussed on pattern and surface design, particularly for jewellery and furniture. More recently she has experimented with folded metal and enamel to create a jewellery collection.

In London, Hannah was Head of Print Design at M Lab, an international textile design and colour consultancy. Her designs have been commissioned by and sold to international brands including Anthropologie, J Crew and Donna Karan.

She is currently exploring her dual heritage by examining the pattern and colour in Indian miniature paintings and will launch her studio Plica, later this year.

Holly Muir is an artist, writer and set designer. Her wooden installations use historical and fictional narratives to explore utopian tropes, the restorative capacities of work, and the relationships people have with non-humans.

Holly graduated from the Ruskin School of Art in 2016, after which she spent a year writing fiction at Princeton University as a Daniel M. Sachs Scholar. She designs and builds stage sets with the experimental opera collective, Spectra Ensemble, and has previously worked for Scottish Opera, The Royal Shakespeare Company, The Royal Opera House and Pinewood Creative.

Jack Guariento is a filmmaker and artist from Glasgow. He is interested in attempting to problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about what can be understood to be ‘real’ in this world, and investigating the blurred boundaries between supposedly mutually exclusive categories such as human and animal, self and other, and past, present and future. Somewhere in between narrative filmmaking and experimental video art, his films utilise a combination of old and new formats to effect a general feeling of anachronism and a confusion of temporalities which serves to visually support these themes.

Leah Crews is a London based artist printmaker working with linocut and Japanese woodblock printmaking.

Drawing from an extensive research period in Japan over the last few years, including two artist residencies, Leah creates prints featuring objects and elements of Japanese culture and aesthetic. Combining components of traditional Japanese multi-block printmaking with Western relief print techniques and materials she seeks to create a bridge between the two, exploring the crossover between two distinct forms of printmaking.

Leah studied fine art at Bath Spa University and was subsequently a member of the Bath Artist Printmakers before leaving for Japan in 2016.

‘Alongside his finely tuned antennae into current art practice and a broad appreciation of sculpture and its traditions, Alex Allan also absorbs research material from experiencing the environment around him. That is to say his identity as an artist is constructed not only through his engagement with the Art World, but by his observance and understanding of the physical realities of urban life at this point in history.

Alex graduated with an MFA in Sculpture from Edinburgh College of Art in 2011. More recently he has been engaged in a number of public art projects and is co-founder and operator of Govan Project Space in Glasgow, where he lives and works.

Camilla Brueton’s practice interrogates the experience of place by exploring physical structures and reflecting on movement, social policy and differing perspectives. Emotions, like the weather, pass through and shape things.

Research is done out in the field, in the studio and on the train. Artwork includes large drawings connecting distant places, ‘visual essays’ combining text and images, printmaking and spoken performance. With a MA in Drawing (2014, Wimbledon College of Art) and BA Fine Art Sculpture (2000, Kingston University) spatial concerns on the page and in three dimensions are important to her.

Whilst at Hospitalfield, Camilla Brueton will be working on a visual essay exploring themes of loss, lostness and locality.

Fiona McGurk is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work explores questions of agency, data accumulation and archive.

Fiona is a studio holder and member of the board at Glasgow Sculpture Studios.

Ieva Grigelionyte is Lithuanian artist currently living and working in Glasgow, UK. She is intrigued in the meal as a complete social phenomenon which links nature, culture and the human body; external and interior systems colliding, mental perception altering everything; it appears highly complex and so simple at the same time.

To unfold these ideas further Ieva employs taste as her artistic medium. Her research includes studies on eating, appetite, disgust and other ideas which tap into the magical realness of food. This reading is followed by experimentation with ice cream, which Ieva infuses with weeds, clay, chalk and further ingredients to recreate textures/flavours inspired by soil, asphalt, dust and other elements from the urban environment. Ieva wants to connect people to their immediate surroundings by opening their eyes (and mouths) to flavours and produce that grows invisible and unloved all around us. These radical though subtle kitchen/studio explorations enable her to create experiences that challenge our thinking through the gentle action of tasting ice cream.

Ione is a creative practitioner working with earth, plants, communities and creatures. Dividing her time between the UK and Mexico, her work ranges from therapeutic horticulture and creative education, to printmaking, bookbinding and nest-weaving. In January 2020 Ione collaborated with Guapamacataro Centre for Art and Ecology in Michoacan, Mexico, to investigate the sourcing, processing and crafting of wild clay. More recently she has been experimenting with other ways of documenting earth and plant-based mediums, such as soil chromatography and ink making. She is interested in how such processes can shape and shift our interactions with our environment and each other.

Ione Maria Rojas’ residency is support by an a-n Artist Bursary.

Lindsay BoydLindsay Boyd is an artist and curator based in Edinburgh. She has an MFA in Contemporary Art Practice from Edinburgh College of Art.

Her practice includes drawing, sculpture and installation and is concerned with the notion of the façade and duality, playing with ideas that centre around fictions and falsehoods. Her work references theatrical set design, maquettes and prop making that invoke unidentified narratives. New research areas include choreography, notation of movement and queer feminist narratives in literature.

Boyd is currently Assistant Curator of Hidden Door, Edinburgh’s alternative arts festival, and a Board Member of All or Nothing Aerial Dance Theatre. She is a Freelance Project Coordinator and also works for The Fruitmarket Gallery.

Phoebe Eustance is an artist and researcher based in London. At Hospitalfield Phoebe will continue to work on ‘Queering The Waiting Room’, a project that aims to open up a critical dialogue around embodied experiences of disciplined spaces, with an emphasis on clinical environments, institutional processes and their repetitive rhythms. Drawing from queer theory, which questions norms and rejects thinking in binaries, Queering The Waiting Room reimagines the institution as malleable.

Queering The Waiting Room was shown in April 2021 in the form of a video essay at the 12th International Conference for Artistic Research hosted by the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Between 2019 and 2020 Phoebe participated in CAMPUS Independent Study Programme at Nottingham Contemporary. In 2020, they co-wrote ‘Reflections on Collective Knowledge Production’, published in The Contemporary Journal and ‘To all my sisters inside’, published in Futuress Journal. Phoebe holds an MA in Research Architecture from Goldsmiths, University of London and a BA in Fine Art from Leeds & Lisboa Universities.

Georgie Fay is a London-based participatory artist and printmaker, with an MA in Gallery Education (UCL, 2013). Her firm belief in arts education as a catalyst for social change and inclusion underpins and inspires her art practice.

Fay’s printmaking reflects her own engagement with the world; from the city pavement to the flight pattern of migrating birds; from everyday journeys to experiencing unfamiliar landscapes. In 2017, her first solo show, ‘Halfway Home’ responded to these themes.

She intends to use her forthcoming residency at Hospitalfield to create a series of experimental prints and etchings which explores what happens when nature, science and art collide.

Caroline Areskog Jones is an RCA alumni whose hybrid, exploratory practice has a foundation in print.

Drawing provides a mechanism of exploration and a fundamental component of research which evolves through the investigation of materials, repetition and working in series over time. With a Scandinavian heritage ‘nature’ infuses and permeates encounters, filaments reach through ideas within an uncertain space. Having spent time recently gathering research in the Hebrides, from the perspective of being on the water, in the weather, where humidity seeped through, and being aware of current ecological concerns regarding toxicity of the ocean, the aim in this residency is to utilise the time, facilities and local environmental histories to make a series of prints, perhaps an element in book form, as non-linear narrative. To use the processes of print, to absorb being in the locality will contrast with the use of purely digital artefacts as a means to develop a body of work.

David Fagan’s work generally comprises multimedia installation and performance, with a persistent focus on consumer electronics, such as televisions and phones. Fagan is interested in creating intimate experiences using familiar objects. When these attempts inevitably fail, they ultimately speak to a more fundamental questioning of one’s ability to connect to another. Post-exhibition, the role of the work as art object is generally relinquished, devices and objects regain their prior utility. Fagan is currently exploring themes of identity and culture in suburban landscapes.

Awards include Visual Arts Bursary from the Arts Council of Ireland 2019

Rachel Marsden is a curator, educator and arts writer researching transcultural studies, cultural and social translation, and curatorial practices in China and the Asia-Pacific. Also, interested in approaches to practice-based research, including publishing and writing as practice, and “pedagogies of practice” in learning and teaching.

For this residency, Marsden aims to reignite her practice as a text and book artist by giving voice to invisible illness, impairment and disability in the arts. She will examine this personal aspect of her practitioner identity for the first time – publicly and critically – whilst establishing a dialogic community of practice in the region, to culminate in a self-published book.

Men and narratives, in their inseparable relationships, define Ana Mazzei’s interest. It is from this perspective that her work develops and grows. For Mazzei, art, architecture and landscapes construct, in themselves, a fiction that connects them, resulting in installations, settings and objects.

Her artworks are like pieces and fragments of myths, lives and fictions that are represented in drawings, videos, sculptures and installations. At other times, her works function as observation devices framing this vast repertoire from a specific point of view. Focusing on a widely experimental practice, the artist appropriates different sensorial materials, such as felt and concrete, connecting to the environments in which she works.

Ana Mazzei (born in 1979, São Paulo, Brazil) completed a BFA in Visual Arts at the Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) in 2006 and a MA in Visual Poetics at UNICAMP in 2010.

Revealing the intersections between digital reproducibility and the assimilative late-liberal cognitive schema, Colm Guo-Lin Peare’s practice aims to understand identity through subjecthoods determined by technologically produced alterity that resist the homogenisation of disembodied machine-learning processes. Drawing upon the body politics of decoloniality and queerness, Peare’s curatorial, administrative and artistic work explores whether corporeal precarity can be a consolidating framework that allows for a shared politics of solidarity whilst sustaining difference. (Written with GPT-2).

Peare sits on the current committee of Transmission, recently contributed to the conference Reorganising Cultural Institutions at the Baltic, and is the Writer-in-Residence at Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival in 2019. Peare graduated from Fine Art: Painting & Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art in 2019.

Esther Draycott is a writer, based in Glasgow, whose work is focused on experimental historiography and reparative criticism. Having graduated from UCL with a Bachelor’s degree in History, in 2019 she completed an MLitt in Art Writing at Glasgow School of Art, where she developed an interest in the formal, visual and ideological limitations posed by academic writing on queer, feminist and postcolonial narratives.

She has recently completed a book, The Collector, exploring the intellectual manipulations and repressions held among bourgeois interiors. Other published texts include 1979: women’s style in four objects, exploring second-wave feminist fashion as a critical ontology.

Since graduating from DJCAD in June 2019, Finlay Hall has spent his time making music, running an art gallery in a car park, sailing to Norway, signing on and off, and making various performances in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

His recent work “Free Caricatures (of me, by you)” is indicative of his approach to performance, often using the medium as a vehicle for audience empowerment – highlighting the audience’s responsibility for an event’s success by relying on them directly.

He plans to focus his time over the next few months developing the written aspect of his practice – using this as a basis to make music, sculpture and performance.

Working mostly within the medium of snapshot photography, amateur museums, and liturgical call and response, O’kafka is constructing a ‘fractured family album that hangs somewhere between an emotional document and a fiction.’  Though extremely personal, her work also engages photography’s problematic history of the picturing of illness, disability, and the suffering. Graduated in 2018 from Glasgow School of Art’s BA Fine Art Photography department, Flannery O’kafka has completed artist’s residencies in both the US and the UK as well as her first solo exhibition ‘Thin Blood / Thick Water ‘ at Stills Centre for Photography.

By situating the body outside the constraints of binary structures, Hamshya Rajkumar explores what it means to be human in a world where ‘nature’ is separate, dominated and objectified. Networks of elements (such as water and air) are hijacked to illustrate borderless identities that extend to the non-human. Rajkumar choreographs situations to participate in the celebration of mutual empowerment.

Hamshya Rajkumar graduated from BA Fine Art, Sculpture and Environmental Art at Glasgow School of Art in 2018.

Recent screenings and exhibitions include ‘Too little too late’ with Eleni Wittbrodt at Outlier, Glasgow, ‘They cry out through stones to each other’ with Tess Wood and Kien Denier at Stow College, ‘Creative Reactions’ in collaboration with PhD Engineering student Isha Maini at St. Enoch Centre, and ‘Excerpts’, a group screening at the CCA. Siri Black is currently working on an upcoming show at Lunchtime Gallery, Glasgow. 

Beverley Chapman’s practice has developed from the (ongoing) restoration of a full size fairground horse. This process has enabled her to engage with and make new work that responds to multiple relevant topics including, life cycles, folk culture, memory and archives (especially in terms of the ethics around them). Whilst the new work undoubtedly has its own agency, it also informs the decisions that she makes about the horse restoration.

Chapman’s practice is situated in the expanded field of sculpture and recently she has been experimenting with the inclusion of the written word to enhance her sculptural storytelling.

Danica Maier is an American born artist currently living and working in Lincolnshire, UK.

Erin Woodbrey is a visual artist whose body of cross-disciplinary work —videos, photographs, prints, and sculpture— are defined by their shared fascination with process and the lineage of learning through objects. Woodbrey’s work is presented, piece by piece, as an origin-based examination of fabricated and naturally occurring units of space and time. Her gaze, wide in scope, is trained on the interrelated qualities of process, materials, nature, and architecture and asks essential questions about how the functions of objects and nature inform, mirror, and tend to the human condition.

Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include The Fragment Series, Gaa Gallery, Provincetown, MA, USA; Quill Isn’t Staying Now, with Dani Leventhal ReStack, Gaa Projects, Cologne, Germany; Leg, Limber, Lumber, Limb, Higgins Art Gallery at Cape Cod Community College, Barnstable, MA, USA; Time Mothers, Gaa Gallery Provincetown, MA, USA; Material Studies, Arena Gallery, Liverpool, UK; and Air of Another Planet, Gaa Gallery, Wellfleet, MA.

María Hrönn Gunnarsdóttir is an Icelandic artist living in Reykjavík. She has a M.A. in Fine Arts from the Iceland University of the Arts, a diploma in ceramics from the Reykjavík School of Visual Arts, a M.A. in Pharmacy and a diploma in journalism from the University of Iceland.

María’s recent art practice studies how tribulations and traumatic events in life become the source of creativity. She is interested in how memories and imagination take the mind into unexpected journeys through the past, present and future, and how this often is intrinsically woven into the landscape and everyday objects. Her works are mostly installations but the focus of her resent investigations is how to move toward two dimensional works, which incorporate “slow time” as the third dimension.

Fascinated by the fluidity and mythology of American histories, Marika Borgeson uses film and video to explore the suspension of time and the creation of legends through historic sites, museums, landscapes, and archives. Currently based in Los Angeles, California, her interest in the intersections of the historical and contemporary has recently manifested in the investigation of traditional opera repertoire and its ability to engage with current affairs.

Her work has screened internationally in galleries and festivals, including the New York Film Festival, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Void Gallery in Derry, Northern Ireland, and the Media City Film Festival in Windsor, Canada. She holds a degree in Classical Vocal Performance from New York University and an MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts from Duke University.

Niamh O’Loughlin is Dance Artist currently based between Ireland and Scotland. She graduated from The Scottish School of Contemporary dance with a First Class Ba Hons degree. Since graduating she has taught for organisations such as Scottish Dance Theatre, Shaper/Caper, The Byre Youth and Community Arts and Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust. She regularly performs with Movement based ensemble Third Thread.

She is interested in inclusive practices, improvisation and choreography. Her most recent work “An Fathach Mór” (“The Big Giant”) has been support by Scottish Youth Theatre’s Making Space program and Dundee Rep theatre. It is a children’s work exploring the legends of The Giants Causeway and the cultural links between Ireland and Scotland. Her practice combines movement voice and sound.

Chloe Laurence is a multimedia artist, her practice combining printmaking, performance and moving image.

Laurence grew up in London and graduated from the University of Brighton in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking. She has created site- specific works across England, Scotland, Canada, Denmark and Sweden.
Laurence’s practice is a form of visual storytelling, conveying moments of interactions in nature. Using walking as a base of the work, the performance is the experience, the film and the print is the document that the experience happened. The pieces invite viewers into Chloe’s world to engage with human activity and the use of the body into ways of thinking about our situated place in the world, to evoke a feeling of freedom within the playfulness of creating.

Printmaking means to Laurence ways of thinking and problem solving, as an approach to becoming more alive in a way that asks us to engage with life in a visceral and interactive way.

Born in Nagano in 1990. Lives and works in Kanagawa. Sato obtained her Master of Fine Arts in Film and New Media from Tokyo University of the Arts in 2018.

Making use of a lecture format, Sato’s practice focuses on narratives. By linking issues that arise in the process of investigating historical facts in a multifaceted way, Sato constructs a story that interweaves fiction and documentary. Sato’s works are the product of her interest in Japan’s pursuit of a distorted form of modernization and the plurality conveyed by events that have fallen through the cracks of History with a capital H as well as her attraction to legends and ruins that survive in various places.

Situated between writing, performance, video and exhibition making, Bryony Gillard’s practice draws on the notion of ‘constant revision’ — states of being in which structures or ideas can be subverted, dissolved or questioned. Often focusing on investigating marginalized herstories and practices, through a process of both uncovering and layering influences, histories and conversations, her work attempts to create a space for genealogies of feminist practice that are allusive, messy and entangled in contemporary concerns.

Bryony has an MFA from the Dutch Art Institute, School for Art Praxis. Her work has been included in a range of national/international contexts including Tate St.Ives (Cornwall), Fitzwilliam Museum (Cambridge), Upominki (Rotterdam), Depimlico Project (London), Field|Guide (Boston), Documnt (New York/Berlin), Casa de Pova (São Paulo).

I make experimental moving-image. This is the collision of many things: drawing, film, photography, sequence, sound, rhythm, time, editing, movement, projection, spatial installation – in infinite combinations – everything in a state of flux. I use these tools as a barometer to document locations undergoing change and explore the intersection between social and geographic place. I develop site-responsive film-making approaches devising new ways of looking and capturing. Inventive and ad-hoc uses of the camera are informed by the physicality of place – helping to extract the experiential, subjective and conditional aspects of location.

Previous projects have been shown/commissioned by Camden Arts Centre, South London Gallery, Venice Architecture Bienalle (collaboration with Assemble), Focal Point Gallery, V&A, MK Gallery, No-Mu, Japan, IndieLisboa, Portugal, Encounters Film Festival, Edinburgh Film Festival and Holland Animation and Film Festival.

I like lampposts, and things communicating, and sociological complications. I like scheming doorstops, societal tensions, disinformation, non-fictions, autonomous shower hoses, the anti-anthropocentric and things where they don’t belong. I like inactivity, inaccessibility, fences, domestic theatre and micro-misalignment. I like things that perform without anybody watching, and what happens if we are made to notice. I like neighbourhood watch signs, I like words, and I like first person narratives. Look closely. Look really closely. And keep looking.

Eric Dickson (b1975 Los Angeles) is an installation artist, writer, and researcher who teaches politics and psychology at New York University. Originally trained as a theoretical physicist, his academic work explores the strategic and psychological foundations of identity and power in contemporary societies. His artistic practice probes related questions and explores the frontier between storytelling and installation art through interactive audio installations that embrace literary, technical, and site-specific challenges. His recent work has broadcast fragmentary tales of an epic overland journey from antique wardrobes dispersed around a square mile of Nevada desert; scattered monologues from an uncertain collapse, ambiguously describing the end of a relationship or the fall of a republic, around an abandoned military base; and developed a unique soundscape blending first-person narrations of dreams with scripted stories constructed from recycled dream elements. www.ericdickson.net

Merrill Shatzman is a printmaker residing in Durham, North Carolina. Through her woodblock prints and drawings she makes meticulous prints that abstractly describe urban landscapes through shapes, grids and patterns. Grids play a predominant role in her work, emphasizing how architecture, urban planning, weaving, cartography and typography influence her imagery. Using multiple stencils to construct her complex woodcut prints, she delineates shapes and isolates carved, calligraphic marks that are converted into symbols and units. She continues to explore different uses of stencils through photography, accentuating the structures through patterning and shadows. Her work as printmaker includes relief, silkscreen, digital imaging, laser fabrications and laser etchings, installation, and artist’s books. A Professor Emerita of the Practice of Visual Art at Duke University, she received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (1978) and a MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1981).

Place and environment offer the impetus for much of Emily Furneaux’s work; a cinema, an “un-discovered” island, a disused nuclear testing ground.

Holly Argent is an artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Through a research-led practice she brings together various materials, often looking for strategies to utilise the fragmentary nature of archives to tell and re-tell narratives of artistic legacies. She leads the project ‘Women Artists of the North East Library’, building a usable resource that contributes to the history of women artists working in the North East of England; existing as an archive, a body of research and public programme. She was included in The Everyday Political at CGP, London (2018), and was recipient of the Luby’s Legs Artist Bursary (2017-18) and the Forshaw Rome Residency from Newcastle University at The British School at Rome (2017).

Much of Lizzie Watts’ work explores a fantastical and embodied engagement with the natural world. Attracted by cartoons and their ability to explore bodiliness, abjection and disgust, Watts utilises kitschy and, at times, grotesque sensibilities to create what she calls ‘ecologies of intimate objects’. Watts’ work borrows imagery and ideas from archaeological and scientific discoveries to explore the messy intermingling of human and non-human timescales. Ideas about these relationships are manifested in Watts’ work not through linear narratives, but instead in sculptural debris, fascinating objects, and in films and animations which focus upon isolated and enchanting behaviours.

Sophie Cundale (b.1987) works with film and performance. Her work involves collaborative processes of both scripted and improvised acting and depends on the chemistry of constructed situations. Cundale appears as a performer in her own work to varying capacities, from a voice directing action to an exposed and central protagonist. Bodies under the influence of love, loss and heartbreak are the subject of the work. Deploying personal experience, the work considers the systems that control and govern our desire and grief.

Andrew Black’s background is in painting, but for the past couple of years he has been working mostly with video and writing for performance. His practice aims to contribute to a shared, communally-constructed queer imaginary/futurity that parasitises the ‘straight’ everyday, incorporating diverse positionalities and contexts, and is currently focused on expanded ideas of queer identities, friendships and communities in non-metropolitan environments. Organising has an important role in his practice. Black was on the committee at Transmission in Glasgow, 2016-18, during a period of radical change within the institution.

Marie Jacotey is a London-based artist who graduated with an MA in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art, London in 2013 after completing a DNSAD in 2011 from École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris. Jacotey’s work draws inspiration from the gathering of people together, the expression of emotions in their many and varied interactions and the contexts and details in which these engagements take place – architecture, landscape, or place; picking out wallpaper, furniture, clothes, and zooming in further to detail pattern, patina, texture… Her works – though insistently manual in their making (paintings on plaster and dust sheets, pencil drawings, sewing and fabric) – make use of perspectives that reference the world of cinema and slow-mo, the photographer’s point and shoot, identifying an artist who has come of age in the smartphone world with its prevalent verbs – zoom, scroll, tap, drag, swipe etc. Recent solo exhibitions include those at Hannah Barry Gallery, London (October 2017 as well as 2015 and 2014), McQueen Project Space, London (2016), Francis Carrette Galerie, Brussels (2016), Robert Blumenthal Gallery, Hamptons, NY (2015), Heike Moras Art, London (2015), and Galerie du CROUS, Paris (2013). In 2014, her work was included in Bloomberg New Contemporaries (ICA, London, Liverpool Biennial, Liverpool and Newlyn Art Gallery, Cornwall). Recent group exhibitions include: Architectural ethnography, Japan Pavilion of Venice Biennale (2018); Watery, fluid, Cloud cuckoo land (2018); You see me like a UFO, Marcelle Joseph Project, Ascot (2017); Walled garden in an insane Eden, Sara Zanin Gallery, Rome (2017); Rhythm and depiction, Center for Recent Drawing, London (2016); PLAYROOM, Union Club Studios, London (2016); What’s the meaning of a goldfish, Tatjana Pieters Gallery, Ghent, Belgium (2015); She came to stay, Rook and Raven Gallery, London (2015); East London Painting Prize, Rum Factory, London (2015); Salon de Montrouge, Paris (2015); Drawing now, Carreau du Temple (2015). In 2018, Jacotey was commissioned by Art on the Underground to design the new night tube map cover for tfl, out in May 2018, and, in 2015, by Granby Workshop to make a set of limited edition digital prints for its shop. Granby Workshop is Assemble’s Turner Prize-winning community-rebuilding project in Liverpool. Her work can be found in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Jacotey is represented by Hannah Barry Gallery, London.

Alice Wadkin’s practice is primarily led by research into a specific site or community. She considers the face-to-face encounter to be the most distinguishable form of inter-human communication, and her research frequently involves holding discussion workshops or action groups. The work Wadkin makes in response to these conversations often takes the form of a written piece or social installation, such as a theatrical set or staged performance. At present her research is focusing on Pedagogical Support Structures, in particular rethinking transitions for students moving from Higher Education into the world of work and sustaining their own artistic practice. She graduated from BA Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College or Art & Design, Dundee in 2017.

Catriona Beckett works in sound, video, animation, sculpture and painting, fusing these mediums to create installations, which suggest visions of new landscapes and unseen architectural forms. The outcome is not a fixed presentation, but rather is a space which can be co-authored by the viewer. Therefore, the pieces exist by re-generating imaginatively within the space. This participatory element of her work is carried over to other aspects of her practice. As well as independent works, Beckett collaborates with other artists on sound projects, performance projects and curating exhibitions. She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee with a BA Art & Philosophy in 2018.

Flora deBechi’s work is concerned with the potential of raw materials from microcosm to macrocosm in differing states of flux. She predominantly works using light and carbon, spanning across sculpture, video, sound, and installation. She is interested in the process of understanding and observing elemental change; from our relationship with the intangible to experiences in our everyday lives. Light and carbon are regarded for their purifying qualities, but paradoxically provide a black deposit, which we perceive as impure. It is this ‘black deposit’ which has been the inspiration for recent pieces drawing on concepts of transference and energy production and use. She graduated from Master of Letters in Fine Art Practice-Sculpture Glasgow School of Art in 2018.

Natsumi Aoyagi studied at Tokyo University of the Arts and lives in Tokyo. Observing the growth processes of everything from certain insects to familiar people, to plants and to landscapes is at the heart of her work. She aims to incorporate expressive elements, creating the illusion that things appear just as she, the artist, sees them.

At the heart of McCullough’s practice lies the problematic of ‘originality’ and the status of the copy in our image-saturated culture of excess.

Although this was an audio focused masters he also explored and experimented with game development, and video content creation, not shying away from the visual arts.

Crashing waves, crying gulls and whistling winds combine with the dry crackling leaves under foot and fires in the hearth.

David Raymond Conroy’s compositional works investigate the performance and construction of subjectivity within shared social space. Utilising commercial display strategies, curatorial methods and theatrical staging techniques, Conroy assembles products, texts and images that position the rhetoric of fidelity in relation to desire. His live arrangements for multiple readers phase authorial presence in a counterpoint of voices that conjoin singular audibility and fractured noise. Central to the practice is this circular overlapping of production and consumption, how authenticity meets artifice in the formation of the self. David Raymond Conroy (b.1978 Reading) lives and works in Brussels and London.

Adam Benmakhlouf is an artist and writer. He works across painting and installation, in places overlapping with a prolific experimental and critical writing practice. He also considers the interests and enquiries of his practice as tightly tucked in with his own mixed-raced and queer identities. In addition, he positions himself amongst a series of important friendships and bonds within Glasgow that colours his environment vibrantly. This community gives him the enthusiasm, criticism and context that he considers to be essential to a continuing artistic practice.

Daisy Chetwin graduated form the Sculpture and Environmental Art department at The Glasgow School of Art in 2017. In her practice she constructs set-like situations creating a feeling of imminent action whilst holding the viewer in a moment of suspense, using their presence to activate the work. She is interested in the way viewers move in relation to the work and each other and the tension between the observer and the observed. She does this using a range of media including sculptural structures, sound and video works.

Rhona Jack is a multi-disciplinary artist, primarily working in print and sculpture, who graduated in 2017 with a BAHons in Fine Art from DJCAD. Her artistic practice generally evolves through repeated processes. In each piece of work she creates, a great deal of time and energy is exerted into the physical making of the work. Her art is slow and systematic, much of the meaning behind the work becoming clear through the process of making itself. In this way, her practice reflects on the process of labour and working with raw materials, exploring its role in the human psyche and its impact on our built environment. Post-University she has remained in Dundee where her artistic practice continues to grow and be influenced by the city.

Richard Taylor (b. Sheffield UK, 1985) grew up in Derbyshire and moved to Scotland in 2009 after studying with ravers at Leeds University. His work is driven by a writing practice in which autobiographical, historical and geographical sources are points of departure. Recorded voice, slide photography, video, sound, object-making and performance are then used to create larger narratives. Corporeal and aural intimacies and proximities are considered, as are dialogues around the connections identity can or cannot have with landscape, community, people or things. As a co-editor of the artist-run pamphlet series Gnommero, Richard is also interested in how writing takes form within printed material. He completed an MFA at Glasgow School of Art in 2017, lives in Glasgow, and hopes there will soon be a dog in the family called Ambrosia.

Sofia Sefraoui graduated from the Master of Fine Arts at the Glasgow School of Art in 2016. Being from a multicultural family, she questions the concepts of exchange, confrontation, travel, borders. She assembles materials that come from different realms in order to create tension within her works. She often works with fabrics as she sees the structure of textile as the construction of a network, with a strong basis (bare-threads) and important connections and associations (knots). For her, this material is a metaphor to approach the notions of the social fabric, construction, representation and culture.

Svetlana Panova is a recent fine art graduate from Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen with a broad inter-disciplinary practice within the fields of sculpture, moving image, photography and print. The current critical focus of her work lies in the question of belonging and its versatile manifestations within the physical environment of the everyday. At this point in her creative practice she is looking to reflect on her path so far and identify new connections and ideas through the process of building new networks of support and creative exchange.

Madiha Aijaz works with photographs, film, and fiction. Her practice is concerned with how people experience pleasure, privacy and entertainment in changing, often fractured urban spaces. She has been photographing railroads, traveling fairs, devotional towns and public libraries to read into found situations and conversations which embrace failure and yet continue to offer resistance. She is also interested in what the camera often accords – the simultaneous occurrence of veracity and theatricality in its reproduction of events and scenes.

Aijaz has shown in Pakistan and internationally and is currently developing a documentary feature on traveling fairs and performers in Pakistan with co-director Maheen Zia. The film has received support from Locarno’s Open Doors Programme and the IDFA Bertha Fund. Her book on the Hindu temples in Pakistan was published in 2014 (Call to Conscience, Abbasi, Aijaz, Niyogi Books, New Delhi).

Aijaz is an Assistant Professor at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi and holds an MFA in Photography from Parsons as the recipient of the Fulbright Scholarship.

Stephanie Hier was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1992 and is currently based between Toronto and New York. Recent exhibitions include: Part and Parcel, Downs and Ross, New York, 2017; Be true to your teeth and they won’t be false to you, NEOCHROME, Turin, 2017; Bone Dry, ThreeFourThreeFour, New York, 2016, Here’s the catch, Johannes Vogt Gallery, New York, 2015; Pot Shop, Ed Varie, New York, 2014

Hier’s work recognises that nothing sits in isolation, ideas and objects are emboldened by their neighbour and relationships constructed by context and surrounding, an idea emphasised by the internet, where all exists and is readily available in a single, level entity. It is within this flatness of possibility that Hier’s practice emerges: paintings that fold in imagery and symbols from a multitude of sources. Her use of contemporary cultural symbolism, such as temporary tattoos or cartoon hands, evokes the idea of the everyday and mass produced. The use of this content alongside skilled, traditional brushwork, opens up the relationships between images, art and painting.

Hier’s work speaks directly to the labour of artists and specifically the canon of painting, by depicting and displaying pertinent materials and tools used in the making of art, while also pointing a finger (both literally and figuratively) to all 21st Century image consumers. Her choice in materials, imagery, tools and references epitomises the visual world as it currently exists and the painter’s relationship to it.

Shakti Gomez is a performance and a visual artist, originally from Spain, who has  worked at the fringe of different disciplines, especially live art, visual arts and dance. She explores human anxiety, mortality and the relation between the self and the other; the inter-experience. These ideas inform her work which often has an autobiographical element or follows the biographies of others that she encounters in life. Her work is also linked to everyday life and banal objects that, through her performances, are extended beyond their usual meanings,  transforming them into singular objects that can represent a person’s inner state or experience.

Holly Keasey is an artist working in and from Dundee. She is currently working on collaborative design proposals for the V+A Dundee restaurant and Plot 9 of Dundee’s Waterfront Redevelopment; conducting artistic research into the political agency of architecture at KKH in Stockholm; and producing new work for an exhibition at Verdent Works through the support of the Dundee Visual Artist Award. Previously, Holly has delivered socially engaged projects for various arts organisations including lead-artist for the Clyde River Foundation educational project, Trout in Transition, writer-in-residence for Doggerland and completed a two year position leading the curatorial committee of Generator Projects.

Holly Keasey‘s site-responsive projects employ a framework that makes use of water as a tool to criss-cross abstract theory and ecological concerns. In an extension to this approach, she is interested in how collaborative methods of critical practice can influence a cultural change towards alternative social formations. Her residency at Tottenham Hale International Studios focused on considerations of Hale as both a village undergoing regeneration, paralleled with Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm, and a word with a meaning indicating to be pulled forward or progressed.

Dickson, Duncombe and Kampman are Glasgow based artists whose work explores voice as object, the instability of meaning, and using sound to unsettle the balance between perception and reality. Labyrinthine, their debut work together which premieres at La Monnaie, National Opera of Belgium in October 2015, aims to deconstruct the apparatus of opera, particularly how women sound – in words and music – through the juxtaposition of classical structures, fractured narratives and plastic vocals. Their collaborative approach to text and sound allows them to challenge traditional modes of production within opera, particularly the hierarchy of librettist – composer – performer.

Working with sculpture, film and drawing, Alex Sarkisian is interested in the functionality of objects, human gestures and the confinements of specific spaces that direct animate and inanimate movement. His practice is motivated by looking at the position of a maker (and film maker) as an intermediary between the observer and the observed, and a play between the demonstrative, the experiential, and the gestural in relation to every day occurrences that are both banal and extraordinary.

Alison Scott’s practice incorporates drawing, sculpture and text pieces, and mainly manifests photographically. The work suggests the uncertainty of matter, language and image. By re-appropriating found and domestic objects, Scott aims to address our connection to raw materials such as coal, oil, and lead. She wants to research more thoroughly how this connection, or indeed disconnection, has been changing with de-industrialisation in Scotland and the UK, and to examine the relationship between the industrial and the domestic. The juxtaposition of the exotic and the local is central in the work’s imagery. For example, masking a base material with a precious one; questioning the authority and truth of the material or image that is being presented.

Ewan Murray’s practice is rooted in the language of painting. His paintings explore a variety of subjects, styles and references, yet each work remains tied to the axis of the investigation; the idea that a painting is not a fixed surface but rather a versatile space for thought. Murray’s paintings invoke domestic objects, silhouettes, landscapes and faces. Different textures and techniques – speckled flecks of paint, impressionistic daubs, scraped marks, thin fluid lines, congealed accumulations and controlled geometric forms – are incorporated and juxtaposed. Murray is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art’s Painting and Printmaking degree programme, and a recipient of the 2013 Cheong Kam Hee Art Prize.

Fran Gordon’s work revolves around the themes of image reproduction, re-presentation and fabrication of knowledge. Relating this notion to found imagery both from books and online, Gordon explores how images are used for documentation and can be considered to be reliable sources of information; sometimes without any questioning of their realness. Gordon is interested in the digital consumption and reproduction of images and how the scope in which manipulating found imagery can change contexts and meaning; multiplying and degrading their aura.

Jeweller and silversmith Kirsty McQueen’s work is inspired by the Scottish landscape and its history and folklore. She gathers sources from archaeological and historical texts and collects and gathers natural found objects such as bones, teeth, wood and stones, which inspire her designs. Her work aims to be sensitive to both an ancient and contemporary aesthetic whilst also playfully ambiguous; inspiring confidence in the wearer that comes from an ancient instinct and evokes a sense of fantasy, magic and otherworldliness.

Toronto-based artist Libby Hague’s work examines humane and complex social relationships in a precarious and interconnected world. Her concerns, curiosity and love of invention have led her to a hybrid practice of printmaking, installation and animation. She has a BFA (Honours) from SWWU, now Concordia University. Her work looks at how, without an external code, we determine and maintain humane social relationships. Hague explores poetic and material equivalents for moral and existential challenges. Her hybrid practice often involves the use of rudimentary puppets. Part creature and part object, the puppets stand and sit in a lower-case ideal of continued effort. By moving them, they are given a half-life that engenders in us a strange empathy and impatience. Hague is a member of the Gifts + Occupations Collective.

Anna Orton has a multi-disciplinary practice consisting of painting, sculpture, printmaking, theatre, model making and digital imagery. The autobiographical, explored through wider political and social context, is often at the forefront of her work.

Orton’s individual practice often blurs boundaries with the collaborative practice Ortonandon, a collaboration with her two sisters Katie and Sophie Orton. With the figure as a central motif, the sisters consider body-form in relation to social politics and how identity can be represented through actions and props.

In Valerie Norris’ work layers of meaning are created through the interplay between painting, objects, form, colour, image and text and in the way that this accumulates to form a visual language. Norris’ practice is informed by an assemblage of references, found images and objects collected from magazines, charity shops, film, fashion, music, nature, literature and poetry. Non-linear narratives and chance associations are proposed through a process of arrangement and play.

Lerato Shadi is a South African artist who lives in Berlin, Germany. She completed a BFA in Fine Art from the University of Johannesburg and is currently studying for an MFA from Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee. The prevailing themes in Shadi’s work are a performative investigation into transformation, or transition, through performance from absence to presence, from subject to object, and vice versa. She uses elements such as concentration, breath, duration and span to establish an exploration of the performer in space and time. Knitting, installation, video and sound are some of the media Shadi has utilised. An additional and intrinsic element to her work is the titling, mainly in her mother tongue Setswana, which plays on the politics of inclusion and exclusion. In 2010 she had a solo exhibition Mosako Wa Seipone at GoetheonMain in Johannesburg. From 2010 to 2012 she was a member of the Bag Factory artist studios in Fordsburg, Johannesburg. In 2012 her work was featured at the Dak’art Biennale in Senegal and in the III Moscow International Biennale. She is a fellow of Sommerakademie 2013 (Zentrum Paul Klee).

Pakistan. Selected with GENERATORprojects, Dundee.

Mehreen Murtaza is an artist who works in a variety of media based in Lahore, Pakistan. She graduated with a Batchelor of Fine Art from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore in 2008. By manipulating the viewer to create confusion, Murtaza presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, painting and architecture. Pompous writings and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with trivial objects. Her artworks bear strong political references and the possibility or the dream of the annulment of a (historically or socially) fixed identity is a constant focal point. In 2013 Murtaza has exhibited in We have Arrived Nowhere, 2^nd Transnational Pavilion, 55^thBiennale di Venezia and has forthcoming projects with The Studio Museum, New York, USA; Experimenter, Kolkata, India; and a solo show Transmission From A Missing Satellite as part of Frame, Frieze London.

Megan Taylor’s  practice encompasses a wide range of disciplines, with projects ranging from experimental drawing to sculptural installation and immersive environments. Most recently, Taylor’s work has explored  the possibility of Architectural Absurdities, where ideas appear impossible and illogical.

His recent exhibition The Pursuit of Happiness, at Vane Gallery Newcastle-upon-Tyne, explores through thumbnail drawings that reference the dimensions of Google images, the relationship between historical narrative and personal experience. The exhibition featured drawings in graphite on paper of Soviet and American nuclear tests, and portraits of luminaries from the RAND Corporation such as Alain Enthoven who had been tasked by the Kennedy Administration to restructure US nuclear strike forces. His work has influenced outcome driven management and influences government spending budgets today. This line of enquiry follows work exploring the End of History that was begun during a residency at Incubate in Chicago during 2008. Other recent exhibitions include: Launch F18 (New York), Kotti Shop (Berlin), Emerge Art Fair (Washington DC) Ade and Abet (Cambridge) National Glass Centre (Sunderland) and Gallery North (Newcastle-upon-Tyne).
