Originally trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute and the Oxford School of Drama, she also toured small European festivals with a Polish theatre company, often performing to people who had not seen theatre before. These experiences...

S Mark Gubb

The most basic ecology of the contemporary art scene would place the uber Contemporary Art Museum at the top of the food chain, with dealers, collectors, art fairs and biennales scrapping it out for second. Next up would be the galleries, art prizes, art magazines, journalists, funding bodies and the spaces the support jostling for...

Katy Woods

My practice primarily works with the moving image but also encompasses still image and text projects. I have been working with the found image and particular places/sites within my filmmaking practice for around five years. I'm attracted to a degree of obsolescence in both cases. With the found image, the detachment from its creator and...

Doug Jones

Artist statement 'Since my subjects have always been my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have consistently objectified all this in the visual, spiritual and cultural triggers which have for years forced the internal lyrical motives that impelled me to create. This is the most sincere...

Catherine Bertola

My work involves creating installations, objects and drawings that respond to particular sites, collections and historic contexts. Underpinning the work is a desire to look beyond the surface of objects and buildings, to uncover forgotten and invisible histories of places and people, as a way of reframing and considering the past. Often drawing on...

Petros Chrisostomou

Artist statement My work is concerned with object/context relationships and explores a gamut of ideas and methods in order to arrive at an interesting proposition. In recent years I have developed a practice that enables me to extrapolate ready-made objects from environments that I have been influenced by and regurgitate them to a desired...

Emily Cole

Emily Cole deals with the urban and rural 'familiar': views half seen from the interior of a train carriage or through the rear window of a car. Documenting the random nature of the road trip, she ventures to capture a certain unromantic reality, a perspective on the commonplace architecture and landscapes she passes through. Cole works from...
