Daying
Transition Gallery, London
Martina Jenne, Isabel Ivars, Sharone Lifschitz. Daying is a verb; it describes life through the many mundane activities that take place everyday. The day in question, 27th February 2003, a random anyday, becomes the common ground that connects the work of the three artists involved in Daying. Dayjng is a single collaborative work formed from three separate versions of a single day. Each artist speaks of her wn experience of a day in her life, which is shared with the others because they too experience that day.

DAYING is a verb; it describes life through the many mundane activities that
take place everyday.
The day in question, 27th February 2003, a random anyday, becomes the common
ground that connects the work of the three artists involved in DAYING.
DAYING is a single collaborative work formed from three separate versions of
a single day.
Each artist speaks of her own experience of a day in her life, which is
shared with the others because they too experience that day.
In the gallery, the work is displayed as a time line, revealing the minutia
of the three everyday routines. The work of each individual artist expands
across the time line as connections, differences and similarities occur.
In Martina Jenne's work the camera is held in two positions, capturing what
she sees, and at the same time turning in on herself to capture herself
looking. The camera thus becomes the eye of the world transferring images as
they are seen by others. These images become photographic installations,
theatrically constructed and staged in the gallery, creating relationships
and tensions between their various elements.
Isabel Ivars's work has transformed over the last two years from meticulous
paintings of introspective grids to video and photography. She has
transferred her gaze away from herself now examining how this inner world
exists and manifests itself in the wider world around her. Her work traces a
path between the poetic of the everyday and the fantasy of the rational.
Sharone Lifschitz often travels without a destination. Her work speaks of
her experiences creating and following situations that enable her to meet,
exist and interact with infrastructures, places, people, and cultures.
Working in between photography and text, she empties her photographs of
individual meaning and writes about events and non-events as they actually
happened. She then uses the two, to tell a story, allowing the spectator to
undergo a journey and grasp the nature of the experience as his own
