From paintings to installations. Works of 19 artists
The Kettle's Yard Open exhibition is back this year with nineteen of the
most exciting emerging and established artists working in the East of
England. Selected by artist David Ward and artist film-maker Jayne Parker,
the work in the exhibition ranges from painting and photography to film,
sound and installation. The Open presents visitors with the opportunity to
see and enjoy recent work by each of the artists that is variously thought
provoking, contemplative, upbeat, and sometimes surprising.
TNWK (Kirstin Lavers and Cris Cheek) worked with Coleridge Community College
in Cambridge to record Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner.' Each of
the pupils, teachers and support staff at the school participated in the
work by speaking a different line, to create a sonic portrait of the school
community.
Paintings in the show include those by Amanda Ansell, whose fictitious
islands in abstract seascapes are inspired by bathing rituals and long
periods of time spent contemplating bath foam. The landscape theme is taken
up by Deborah Sedgwick's aerial views and Julia Ball's light filled
abstractions from the Norfolk coast. Anna Ilsley's emotional landscapes
explore the three worlds of man, beast and nature.
Jo Chapman will create a wall drawing for Kettle's Yard of intertwined
flowers, plants and other objects found in horticultural illustrations and
her daily walks. Journeys are the inspiration for Joan Murray's drawings,
which incorporate images from maps, as well as tracings of her own walks.
The moving image is a strong component of this year's show. An ant runs
obsessively round the rim of Terry Bond's short movie ŒEquator,' while Ginny
Reed fills the screen with an inflating balloon before all is revealed with
the inevitable bang. Neil Henderson's reversed film of a developing
Polaroid, plays on its process to produce a Turneresque seascape under a
setting sun, exploring how time is represented in film and photography.
David Gates's atmospheric film of a row of seaside houses in Jaywick, Essex,
is an animation of pinhole photographs taken with his handbuilt camera and
hand coated glass plates. Anton Lukoszevieze is a cellist renowned for his
experimental music. In his film work, a tree in his garden and overhead
electricity cables are treated as a musical score.
