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...

Concepts Current content involves the selection and processing of fragmentary images from multiple sources, and most particularly addresses our engagement with the virtual world of the internet. Throughout previous work there has been a dominant theme of the layering of imaginary visions onto elements of perceived reality. However, the...

Jessie Brennan’s practice lies between drawing and participation, informed by the social history of places, and by a direct engagement with the individuals who occupy them. Central to her work is the exchange of local knowledge and personal experiences, memories, folklore and myths, between herself and the people within a particular place,...

My work is a constant enquiry, an incomplete sentence, a phrase articulated through materiality, object and space. It is quiet work, a vocabulary of cast offs, objects, liquids and processes, at times unstable, prone to decay, but familiar to us all. With influences ranging from Eva Hesse's organic minimalism to Watteau’s scenes of...

The 'Dark Matter' sculptures and drawings refer to the vast majority of matter and energy in the universe that exists but cannot be seen. The work also reflects my interest in the experience of place and the ability of art to enable access to abstract, remote and invisible spaces including the space of the human unconscious. In the 'Dark Matter'...

I hoard ideas. Certain things fascinate me for reasons which may be elusive, like a face that seems familiar but which I can't quite place. My practice is about exploring these ideas, and probing for the ingredients which caused them to become rooted in my imagination. My practice is defined by experimentation, and I am more interested in...

My work is concerned primarily with occupied spaces and the narratives that unfold in them. My drawings of school playing fields, junked underpasses and the like often contain text with the tone of dialogue. Through these glimpses of speech the dilapidated environments come to life in a skint version of enchantment: a tree stump or a broken fence...

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,...

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...

...I am interested in the concept of the artist as researcher, someone who utilises fieldwork techniques familiar to visual anthropology, sociology and geographical studies. This approach developed from research exploring geographical and social issues specific to border regions. Borders have been prevalent throughout Paul's practice, in terms of...

My work is an ongoing investigation into ways in which one can represent visually an aspect of a psychological condition, such as anxiety, melancholia, mourning, or the vanishing of the self as a form of loss or absence. Recent work explores fairy tales as a symbolic dimension for the depiction of distressing states of mind and, in this context,...

My work explores the co-dependent relationship between consumption and power, identity and autonomy, and the documentation and harvesting of processes within the socio-psycho geography of our collective experience.From banking debt to branding, multinational control to the chemicals contained within the air we breathe. We consume to cement the...

Rabab Ghazoul is a visual artist whose practice draws upon a range of media to explore our negotiations and constructions of the political.

Emma Johnson explores the fragmented, multifaceted nature of memory, time and history. Johnson reconstructs maps into artworks, cutting paths and layers to transform the originals into reconstituted and complex new objects. As functional items, they are rendered virtually unreadable, but symbolically they suggest journeys (both geographical and...

Sculptural assemblages piece together fragments of everyday construction materials, handmade ceramic objects and...

Alex Pearl makes mini epic films, video installations, sculpture and books. Throughout his work there is a sense of an acceptance of failure or disappointment as important parts of the human condition. Using readily available materials and software the films are made from: suddenly apprehended ideas, discovered objects and impromptu processes....

Combining the mass produced and the unique is, for me, humorous and ironical and full of suggestion and contradiction. I am interested in the process of reproduction (printmaking, laser cutting, high tech and lo-tech) and also by the theme of reproduction (with reference to the ethical debate surrounding biotechnology, genetics, sex and...

I am artist that makes, curates, facilitates and teaches, projects and ideas. Within my practise I perform and direct actions, performances and events. These events generally question the pre-existing structures that constitute artist and audience but also question any establishment of behaviours. I aim to integrate audience, making the audience...

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,...

As bodies, we are always physically occupying space, and we are further extended (spatially and conceptually) through our use of objects. This increasingly complex engagement with our environments highlights the ambiguity of any boundaries a human body might have. The interaction between bodies, tools and technologies forms the focus of my work,...

I am interested in the tragi-comic, and the way it is possible to present the audience with a proposition that can be viewed as light-hearted, or something more sinister, in order to prompt questions of spectatorship. Frequently, work manifests itself as performances that focus on repeated actions and utilise a theatrical register, in an attempt...
