Rich White

My current work involves physically altering (or appearing to alter) existing architecture in public and exhibition spaces. These architectural interventions are developed specifically for their location through research and site visits; responding to the architecture, history and current happenings in the area. Through this I create a...

Linda Persson

The use of various methods, like travel, video, sound, choreography, performance and writing, sits in the expanded notion of my work – where new and obsolete technologies reflect one another as the analogue and digital swap places; modes of representation are questioned as they blend in each other or dissolve and reveal, or obscure,...

Clara S Rueprich

What breathes? (Reflections on the art of Clara S Rueprich by Jan Kuhlbrodt, 2004) In his late work written in the mid-seventies, Experimentum Mundi, Ernst Bloch describes nature simply as the outside, where there is an enigmatic breathing, with the question „what breathes?“ occupying an impersonal gap. The outside definitely...

Carla Wright

My work focuses on our built and social environment - planned societies and governed life, and the processes of urban planning driven by political and economic demands, whilst paying little regard to our needs and aspirations. Sculptural assemblages piece together fragments of everyday construction materials, handmade ceramic objects and...

Stephen Felmingham

Plane wreckage falls from the sky after fifty years; enigmatic objects are found littering the earth; the cockpit is a riddle of dials impervious to interpretation. The drawings and objects here use a vocabulary of motifs: plane; bunker; tower; clearing; sky and sphere with materials that carry a weight of meaning such as ash, gold, lead,...

Leanne Bell Gonczarow

Leanne Bell Gonczarow considers narrative construction and suggestion in relation to time-based phenomena.

Megan Broadmeadow

My work finds it origin in British customs and folklore, yet mixes in references from global anthropology and current popular phenomena to re-examine the position and relevance of these traditions in today's society. One of my aims is to fabricate new mythology by abstraction of street theatre, carnival and disco cultures. To do this I am...

Aidan McNeill

My practice is about the act of looking at/observing our relationship with nature. I explore how the photographic image is utilised to create and project our collective experiences. Research into each activity I focus on is key to my methodology, informing the framework of the image and the connection of passage between works. The theme of...

Ralph Dorey

At the core it is ephemeral, collapsible, reducible and rotting. Even the Ideal is soluble, drifting in the wash and wearing smooth with the lunar pull. All is as this, so what is different here is acceptance. Or rather, to not create artifice, to accept the matter. Matter is unstable and constant and accepting it is the...

Lizzie Hughes

Iconic buildings, entire cities and geographical phenomena are presented as complete entities in sound, text and video works. Recent works have included installations, sound works and text pieces.

Robert Luzar

How I situate and create an art-work continues to arise through an expanded notion of drawing. Rigor and speculation are those aspects that immediately play into the moment a body is poised into a space. This phase incorporates the slightest hint of a physicality, reflecting through a mark system, an engagement with surface as much as space...

Kate Elliott

Much of my work is preoccupied with a search for identity, and an investigation into the breakdown of conventionalised forms of representation. Using the mediums of video and photography I try to deconstruct ways of looking at femininity, masculinity, and selfhood, and in the process question traditional boundaries of gender identity as well as...

Ines Rebelo

My practice encompasses painting, drawing, installation and occasional collaborations with other cultural agents. Much of my projects combine a certain precision and rigour with a sense of endless effort as if someone is attempting to make sense of the world by empirical study. I am interested in the parallel stories that can arise in our...

Amy Feneck

Since graduating in 2002 Amy Feneck has worked with super 8 film and video to create spell-binding observational sketches.
