Irresistible Forces

GNM: Hancock, Newcastle

Running alongside the AV Festival and exploring the theme of energy as it's creative inspiration, this mixed media exhibition presents artists from a variety of disciplines including photography, performance, video installations, prints, etchings, oils on canvas and sculpture, spanning over 500 years of practice, from the 16th century to the present day. Artists include Gayle Meikle, an award winning video artist from Dundee; internationally exhibited Italian video and performance artist Michael Fliri; Ryan Hays, a Berlin-based mixed media artist, and recent graduate Ellen Wilkinson.


comunicato stampa

MA Art Museum and Gallery Studies students from Newcastle University are pleased to announce the opening of Irresistible Forces, an exhibition which displays contemporary artists alongside artworks loaned from the Hatton Gallery collection. Running alongside the AV Festival and exploring the theme of energy as it’s creative inspiration, Irresistible Forces examines the many forms energy takes from multiple, and new perspectives, presenting artists whose practice is driven by investigation into universal themes which concern us all. This mixed media exhibition presents artists from a variety of disciplines including photography, performance, video installations, prints, etchings, oils on canvas and sculpture, spanning over 500 years of practice, from the 16th century to the present day.

Forces and energies are explored in all their many forms; dynamism, movement and the potential of the human form are displayed through classical themes, juxtaposed with the powerful force of machine and industry. Inspiration is found in the untamed forces and destructive potential of the natural landscape; issues of conflict, both physical and psychological are brought to the fore as artists express the energy of artistic creation through dynamic forms and brushstrokes on canvas, and three dimensional forms built from modern materials such as glass and Perspex. Finally, the point of exhaustion is reached where energy has been expelled and all that remains is inertia and decay.

About the artists

From the Hatton Collection, works will include etchings by 18th Century artists Giovanni Piranesi and Francisco Goya; 20th century painter James McBey; pioneering British abstractionist Victor Pasmore; English collage pop artist Richard Hamilton, and the politicised work of Catalan abstract expressionist Antoni Tapies – just a small number of the internationally acclaimed artists which will be featured in this exhibition. New works by contemporary artists from across the UK and Europe were chosen through open submissions and we are proud to be the first to display some of these works within the UK. Artists include Gayle Meikle, an award winning video artist from Dundee; internationally exhibited Italian video and performance artist Michael Fliri; Ryan Hays, a Berlin-based mixed media artist, and recent graduate Ellen Wilkinson.

The curators believe the unique juxtaposition of new works with established practitioners will create refreshing and dynamic comparisons, collaborations and contrasts, at once revealing similarities in form and practice as well as the spectrum of responses which are presented through the exploration of a single theme.

This is a unique opportunity to view important artworks and artists which are not on permanent display, and to view new works by contemporary artists working in the field today alongside them.

A series of educational events and workshops will complement this exhibition.

Vent'anni di UnDo.Net, un'opera d'arte ideata da artisti che hanno coinvolto centinaia di altri autori e operatori nella costruzione di un ecosistema, di un dispositivo che ha influito a più livelli sul fare arte.
UnDo.Net è un dispositivo di creazione di valore immateriale; pensato come "ecosistema" della cultura contemporanea, come modello partecipativo che sviluppi la condivisione di ricerche, risorse e conoscenze, la collaborazione e lo scambio.
In questi 20 anni UnDo.Net ha perseguito il suo scopo: inventare un nuovo spazio, che prima non esisteva, di sperimentazione e di ricerca, di confronto e di dialogo.


Oggi

I risultati di questo lavoro collettivo sono riuniti nelle migliaia di pagine online che raccolgono la storia di tutti noi che ci occupiamo d'arte. UnDo.Net è oggi un archivio vivo e vibrante dal profilo internazionale che contiene e collega tra loro approfondimenti e documenti su autori, eventi, situazioni, ricerche e pensiero. Un patrimonio di risorse per studiare, comprendere e per sviluppare nuovi progetti.
Anche in futuro UnDo.Net rimarra' consultabile e a disposizione di tutti gratuitamente.


Domani

Le differenti personalita' che costituiscono il team di UnDo.Net svilupperanno le proprie diverse professionalita'.
