Shaina Anand, Laureana Toledo, Cinthia Marcelle
Gasworks Gallery, London
Currently participating in Gasworks' international residency programme artists mark the culmination of their 3 month residencies with an open studio and events. Anand is a filmmaker, artist, and media activist, whose work has explored ideas of localised media distribution in urban situations. Toledo's practice has developed to incorporate various media, chosen for their aptness to a specific concept or theme of the work. Marcelle's work in video and photography documents the effects her slight interventions have on the usual order of things.
Currently participating in Gasworks’ international residency programme artists Shaina Anand (India), Laureana Toledo (Mexico) and Cinthia Marcelle (Brazil) mark the culmination of their three month residencies with an open studio and events.
Shaina Anand is a filmmaker, artist, and media activist, whose work has explored ideas of localised media distribution in urban situations. During her residency at Gasworks Anand has been researching the activities of critical media practitioners and organisations who have been active since the practice's perceived heyday in the early 1990s. Alongside her open studio, Anand will invite Robert Sember (Ultra-red), Florian Schneider (Kein.org), Graham Harwood (MediaShed) and Ashok Sukumaran (CAMP) to join her in The Road to Aesthetics, a panel discussion presenting the development of this research.
With a background in photography, Laureana Toledo's practice has developed to incorporate various media, chosen for their aptness to a specific concept or theme of the work. Laureana is inspired by transient moments of the everyday, speculating on how such phenomena can gain new forms of visual presentation. Her work often involves systematic and repetitive interventions into different media (texts, books, photographs etc.) to re-code their existing narratives.
Cinthia Marcelle's work in video and photography documents the effects her slight interventions have on the usual order of things. Her actions, often conceived as useless or absurd repetitions, create situations that confront our notions of conventional behaviour by introducing often humorous coincidences and connections. Marcelle has used her residency period at Gasworks and the support of TrAIN to develop a body of new work for her solo exhibition This Same World Over at Camberwell College of Arts. The exhibition will open on Friday 27 March (6-8pm) and continues to Friday 24 April 2009.
