		<description>Tower Hamlets Spring Open 2012

Selected by Rise Art and ALISN

Rise Art and Alisn would like to invite you to submit your work for consideration for the Tower Hamlets Spring Open 2012. Applications are welcome from anywhere in the world and in any medium.

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/2184355/P6010751 cropped- W600.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="401" width_o="600" height_o="401" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/2184355/P6010751 cropped- W600_o.jpg" align="left" /&#62; 
For the second year running, the Mile End Art Pavilion will be the site of the Tower Hamlets Spring Open exhibition.  The Pavilion is a modern, 5,000sqft gallery, with a double height ceiling, set in a park, in the heart of Tower Hamlets.

The informal theme of the 2012 Open is 'Scale and Place'. The selectors encourage applicants to submit work which responds to the considerable size of the Pavilion and its place within the Tower Hamlets community. Preference will be given to large-scale ambitious projects, sculptures or installations. However, smaller works, which show an awareness of the scale or other characteristics of the venue or the borough, are also welcome. Outdoor work can be accommodated in the extensive park grounds outside, or in the lake abutting the full glass front of the building. All mediums, including performance, video, sound and photography are acceptable.

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/153650/e-flyer.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1448" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/153650/e-flyer_o.jpg" align="left" /&#62; 

Needle and Scalpel will be the first exhibition resulting from a series of planned collaborations between 'Artists for 2012' and London property developers willing to open their buildings between completion and sale as alternative temporary exhibition spaces. 

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/153650/alisn.jpg" border="0" width="16" height="16" width_o="16" height_o="16" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/153650/alisn_o.jpg" align="left" /&#62; 

The object of these collaborations is: 

1. to provide artists with opportunities outside the gallery system
2. to take emerging art outside saturated artistic hubs in South and East London and into the wider London community

The space for Needle and Scalpel is provided by 'The Magnificent Basement Company Ltd' in a development near Wandsworth Common. A second show led by Sharon Gal, featuring live performance art, audience participation art and music will take place the following Saturday 4 July from 2-7pm. Details to follow.

"art AF2012 Leytonstone: a hippie squat that’s now a cultural collective. Enter Artists For 2012! Their mission: to fill the 2012 cultural funding gap with art. Such as… Iavor Lubomirov’s pieces are cool and cerebral- intricate paper forms cut into blank books and a film of dancers where vertically sliced frames are resynchronized to create time ghosts. He says it’s Special Relativity (er… wasn’t it Newton not Einstein that liked slicing time?) By contrast, Sara Moubarek’s canvases are passion, not reason – thick drizzles of textured colour. Jordan Dalladay-Simpson’s work is odd, ‘mediating between aspects of technology and metaphysics, he says. An electronic box, aerials and a bulb pick up energy within a chalk pentagram. But what if it actually summoned The Beast? Another soul sacrificed for art…"

Hackney Transients Art Project (HTAP) is a Hackney-based initiative that investigates everyday experience in this London borough as a catalyst for making new art works and creative processes. 

The project brings together twelve artists, two curators and other Hackney enthusiasts to investigate ongoing changes in Hackney, accelerated through flows of people and ideas. HTAP explores various forms of transience, including individuals in flux, shifting communities and expanding notions of art. 

HTAP seeks to move beyond familiar conventions of community-based art and manufactured moments of social catharsis intent on repairing the social bond. Spread across an oral history archive, an experimental mapping event and an exhibition of new artworks produced in response to the project’s ongoing development, HTAP explores the idea of the production and distribution of art as a means of community formation. Reflective/reflexive discussion furthers HTAP’s development and sustainability as a multi-stage initiative. Since January 2009, the artists and organisers have met regularly to unpick preconceived ideas, find points of affinity and to identify areas for further investigation. Through both face-to-face and online dialogue, the group works together to tease out the complexities that make HTAP such a compelling and ultimately expandable project. These include the politics surrounding ‘transience’ as HTAP’s overarching theme, public engagement, the challenge and benefit of working with other organisations including local and national administrative bodies, and the opportunity of developing exhibitions in response to, and in parallel with, other events, namely Pattern Making for Beginners, HTAP’s contribution to the Hackney Wicked Festival 2009. Generative and topical, these discussions also grapple with new expressions of collaborative and/or participatory art.

ALISN presents a one hour live discussion on Resonance FM on topics taken from the forthcoming Emerging Art Organisers Conference, which will take place in Goldsmiths on Thursday 24 November.  Intended as a publicly available preview of the Conference, the Resonance panel will offer the views of several very different organisations on what it means to be an art organiser in today's emerging art reality.  Performance artists Nathalie Bikoro and Benjamin Sebastian will tell stories from their nomadic and fluctuating project ArtEvict, which has been operating since 2009.  Benjamin Sebastian also works with fellow performance artist Bean, who founded ]performance s p a c e [ at the beginning of 2011, in a 3000sqft studio in Hackney Wick - the only space dedicated entirely to live, performance and time-based art.  All three artists operate a loose, non-hierarchical, highly collaborative practice, with merging borders between their two organisations and others such as OUI Performance in York and BBeyond in Belfast.  Artists and curators Matthew Stock and Keh Ng founded The Modern Language Experiment in 2009. and have also been operating nomadicaly, relying on collaborations with organisations including Hackney Council, IMT and Angus-Hughes Gallery.  Ben Street and Karl England are the founders of the Sluice Art Fair, which opened its doors in Mayfair this October 2011 to showcase emerging art projects from around the world.  Debra Wilson and Chiara Williams co-founded their commercial project, WW Gallery, in 2008.  From the very beginning they have found creative ways to break into the bastions of the established art world, showing twice at the Venice Beinnale and other major fairs, with often irreverent setups, such as their shop at the London Art Fair in 2010. We also have with us Scott Phillips, the founder of online community based platform Rise Art.  Rise Art is a social community that helps anyone discover, connect with and collect artwork from a selection of talented artists worldwide

Goldsmiths in collaboration with ALISN invites you to the first annual
Conference for Emerging Art Organisers 2011

4 - 7pm, Thursday 24 November
Screening Room LG01
New Academic Building
Goldsmiths
University of London


The event is open to anyone involved in an organisational capacity in the emerging arts.  This includes the running of galleries, artist-led spaces, project spaces, pop-up projects, collectives, art publications, art broadcasting, or any other activity engaged in promoting or enabling emerging art.

The world of Emerging Art is large and growing, both quantitatively and geographically.  It is brought to life thanks to individuals working hard to organise, promote, publish and broadcast.  The focused nature of organising often leaves limited scope to follow the efforts of others and has resulted in a diminished overall sense of community amongst organisers.

The Conference for Emerging Art Organisers is a response to a perceived need for communication and networking for organisers; moreover, in a way that is both concise in time and wide in scope, so that maximum exchange can occur, with the least detraction from organisers’ core activities.  The aim of the conference is to provide a networking platform to a diverse set of organisers; to advance cross-awareness; and to germinate collaboration.
 
The Conference will comprise of two separate panel discussions, led by a moderator and with full audience participation.  All attendees are encouraged to prepare a contribution based on the discussion topics listed below.  There will be informal networking opportunities between and after.

The first discussion will commence with 10 minute presentations by panel members, followed by a moderated discussion and Q&#38;A between the panel and the audience.  The topic of discussion will be ‘Creative Solutions to Real-Life Challenges Faced by Contemporary Emerging Art Organisers’.  The audience is invited to prepare questions and insights to contribute to this topic.

The second panel discussion will address the topic ‘Immediate and Indirect Benefits of Cross-Organisational Collaborations’.  It will proceed along the same format.  The audience is once again encouraged to prepare questions and comments for the panel and to be actively involved in the discussion.

There will be opportunities for informal networking between members of the audience and the panels.

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/1905391/000 Header Image.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="460" width_o="670" height_o="460" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/12247/1905391/000 Header Image_o.jpg" align="left" /&#62; 
ALISN presents SCOTOMA
Curated by Bella Easton

“The greatest advantage the eye has over photography is its scotopic seeing in addition to its photopic seeing.  The former means, briefly, the retinal adjustment to the lower light conditions.”  Josef Albers

In the 1670s, using a prism and a lens, Newton demonstrated that white light can be both refracted into and re-composed from the rainbow spectrum of coloured light.  Since then, it has been an accepted scientific definition that white is a totality of colour, while black is an absence of colour.

However, the painter has a more ancient set of tools to create for the human eye an illusion of light-vacuum, or ‘darkness’.  Proceeding contrary to the subtractive logic of the physicist, the artist knows that adding more colours to a mixture produces a darker visual.  The white ground of the primed canvas, thus becomes an absence of colours, while darkness becomes a composite of colours.  The contemporary artist has broadened this toolset further, of necessity looking beyond the canvas and paint.  Sculpture can embody darkness through surface; an installation can convey it psychologically through narrative and suggestion and a monochrome background can envelope a drawing in white darkness.

“What counts here – first and last – is not so-called knowledge of so-called facts, but vision – seeing… Just as the knowledge of acoustics does not make one musical – neither on the productive or appreciative side – so no colour system by itself can develop one’s sensitivity for colour.”  Josef Albers

‘Scotoma’ is an abstract of the work curated by Bella Easton for ALISN at Sluice Art Fair 2011. Easton assembles notions of absence of colour through a dialogue in surfaces – those of the space itself and of the works within it.  Underpinned by the slick surface of the parquet floor of 26 South Molton Lane, the show is grown from the ground up through installation and sculpture, perorating with obsessively textural vertical works which delimit the space.

In a knowing nod to its location, the whole ensemble veers towards a staged domesticity. Blackler’s sandpaper laminate is arrested in the process of re-flooring the space; Petry’s glass and sofa installation sits comfortably against a wall; Kearey’s morphed and continent-shaped painting maroons like a rug in front; while a side-table with Westmoreland’s personal journal of dreams and ideas left open for perusal, seems to confirm the overall impression.  Easton’s own wallpaper-like composition of monochromes on monochromes, creeps and repeats, extending the notion to the walls, where it continues through Hudson’s small unassuming paintings of mirrors. Hodgson’s epic journey into the microscopic lies ready on its easel like an armchair explorer’s dreamy atlas of faraway places.  Amidst this constructed setting, a child’s hand seems to have scattered Hickey’s precariously propped cul-de-sac of fragile paper houses; perhaps the same has thrown down the pillow-like stack of Gibbons’ textured stainless steel sculpture.  The whole is cordoned off by Angus-Hughes’ construction of frames, acting as both a screen from and a window into the neighbouring gallery.

It’s as if emerging art, having stolen into this Mayfair setting, is intent on settling in; the objects in apparent collusion to become a living room for art.

Sluice Art Fair, 15th – 16th October 2011

The inaugural Sluice Art Fair will take place this year at The Music Room, South Molton Lane, London. Organised by artist Karl England and curator and critic Ben Street, Sluice will showcase new work from primarily artist-run and not-for-profit gallery spaces from the UK and abroad.

Positioned above the subterranean Tyburn River, which runs through Regent’s Park, site of the Frieze Art Fair, Sluice presents itself as alternative to the conventional art fair model. Sluice is both exhibition space and platform for discussion and creation. Sluice will feature an open layout for expansive installations, performance works and screenings. Programming during Sluice will include a panel discussion, art-making workshops for children and young people and a forum for artist-published books. Running over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of October with late opening and free entry, Sluice is designed to enable access to all.

Sluice aims to be an informal and accessible platform for the public to engage with contemporary art, and for contemporary practitioners and gallerists to interact. Taking advantage of its central location, within a few minutes’ walk of West End galleries, Sluice will provide young galleries with exposure to a global art audience.
