As
part of After dark at The Louise T Blouin Institute I collaborated
with Mark Melvin and Greg Poole to present Twilight Suite.
The conceptual framework of Twilight Suite was to bring
together practitioners from different creative fields for
a unique one-night event, blurring the boundaries between
the worlds of music and visual art.
The aim of the exhibition was to produce an event that crosses
creative fields in a form that does not carry the characteristics
of conventional exhibition, performance or screening. This
conceptual strategy is echoed in the projects title.
Twilight is essentially a moment which marks an exact point
of transition between one state and another and can be seen
as analogous to the event itself in the way it marks a point
of convergence where the viewer will encounter the works
of the various artists in a constant state of flux and transition.
In music, a suite is an ordered set of instrumental or orchestral
pieces that may be extracts from a work or entirely original
movements. This idea is echoed in the curating of the event
where works operate both autonomously yet simultaneously
as a component part of the overall experience. Over the
duration of the event the function of the space will morph
between exhibition and stage as narratives start and finish,
environments alter and audiences circulate. The aim is to
create a format combining different creative agendas with
DJ Culture, Internet art, light works, photography, contemporary
classical music, installation and video existing alongside
and complementing each other allowing the audience to move
in and out of different creative realms.

Stomper
is an on going curatorial collabortaion between myself and
Greg Poole.
Stomper
explores the collaborative possibilities for music, film,
art and video.
With a history of carrying out events at venues both nationally
and internationally. It was originally launched in New York
and has since expanded to the London art community.
It currently manifests itself as a monthly event, consisting
of an artist video screening, followed by DJ sets.
Stomper
provides a forum for artists, musicians and film makers
to converge and showcase their works.
It is this point of convergence, that creates both a point
of creativity and tension that we explore within the realms
of our events.

In>visible Traces-
a
curatorial collaboration between myself, Judy Goldhill and
Francesca Galeazzi.
Artists:
Jeni Snell, Alexandros Papathanasiou, Bethany Murray, Judy
Goldhill, Mary Yacoob, Paula Naughton, Francesca Galeazzi
Set within the fascinating walls of the Old Boys Club in
Dalston, we invited the artists to explore the notion of
‘locational memory’, of the relationship with
physical spaces that translate into emotional journeys.
The theme of the exhibition is both invisible and visible
traces. The artists make a connecting link between the work
of the known and unknown. The recording of an experience
within a lived space during a specific time frame is visualized.
The documentation of memory is what these artists are working
with. Their images activate seeing before meaning is extracted
whereby the image within lies between the imagination and
the real. At what point do we see and recognize a trace?
“In>visible Traces” is about the logic of
presenting or making visible according to the subjective
mental image in terms of phenomenology of the soul.
All artists were asked to respond to the following quote:
“Each of us exists in a visceral world. We are wrapped
within a simultaneity of physical experience; our perceptions
of sound, light, temperature, touch; our response to the
sense of danger or the expression of a desire become memory;
entering into a shifting fabric of what we have known. The
specifity of a particular site/location is a woven container
of associations. ..a fluid mix of the physical, emotional,
personal, social and political. This fabric is non-linear;
extending inward and out. The present is written on inhabitant;
all of us containers ourselves.”

Homebodies
is an ongoing project curated by Annabelle von Gireswald,
including international exhibitions and symposiums.
LONDON,
United Kingdom (19. October 2007)
Homebodies is about complex situations of not feeling-at-home
with and within real and imagined space. International
artists, curators, and architects are contributing to
this process-oriented project to reconfigure the notion
of 'home'. Starting with a conference, the results of
productive exchanges will determine how the project further
develops into 3 basement exhibitions in San Francisco,
Frankfurt am Main, and London. On the first day of the
conference, thinkers such as Frederick J. Kiesler and
Gaston Bachelard will be revisited in the light of discourses
surrounding 'the home'. On the following day, meanings
will be made through dialogue with curators and visual
and performing artists aboutwhat it means to be 'at-home'.
