Species of Spaces bring together five artists whose work is concerned with a visual and conceptual negotiation of space.

Arnaud Desjardin's installations often suggest a shift in perception of location. His large realistic standing stone in the garden is visible from inside the gallery but, when accessed, exposes the machination of an artificially constructed presence: the standing stone is a prop used in the making of a picture.

Arnaud Desjardin was born in France. He lives and works in London. He has recently exhibited at Mellow Birds (solo) and Platform Gallery, London; East International, Norwich and Sabine Wachters Fine Arts, Brussels. He studied in France and Canada and has just completed an MA in Visual Culture at the Middlesex University.

James Ireland explores the conventions and contexts that define an idealised space, the desires behind an image of a place far away. James uses found images and mass-produced objects to create an illusion that is convincing dependent on specific conditions, an illusion that is delicate and precarious.

James Ireland studied at the Ruskin School of Fine Art, Oxford. Recent exhibitions include : How and Why (solo), Manchester; Double Take, Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth; All of my Heart, Arte E Personae, Florence; A Square of Ground, Jerwood Gallery, London; Perspective 2000, Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast; New Contemporaries 2000.

In her interventions, Jacqueline Pennell playfully distorts and exposes previously concealed areas. Perfect Day creates a space beyond the confines of the room. Using objects, wall drawing and photography Jacqueline constructs a notion of a space that reflects part of a hidden landscape of memories, desires and false hopes.

For this exhibition Jacqueline Pennell is supported by Goldsmiths College

Jacqueline Pennell is currently showing with Robert Preece Projects at the Museum van Nagsael, Rotterdam and CCNOA, Brussels. She has recently exhibited at Smart Project Space in Amsterdam and The Economist Plaza in London. She will be exhibiting at The Royal West of England Academy, Bristol in July 2003. She is a lecturer in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Paulette Phillips presents Ecstasy, a video that is part of a series of intimate small-scale video installations entitled The Secret Life of Criminals. Ecstasy consists of two channels of video - one is a projection of a disorientated woman as she walks through a scrubby industrial landscape on the edge of the city. The woman walks through the snowy fields, becomes hot, takes off her clothes and lies in the snow, luxuriating in the sensations. The other monitor depicts evidence of the woman's actions: her abandoned clothes and her naked body lying still as a blizzard takes over.

Paulette Phillips is based in Toronto. Her films and videos have been shown around the world including: The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Liverpool; The National Gallery, Ottawa; The Sao Paulo Film Festival; The Australian Video Festival; The Spiral Gallery, Tokyo and the Humbolt Film and Video Festival, California. She is an Associate Professor of Integrated Media at the Ontario College of Art and Design.

Since 1994 Claudia Pilsl has undertaken a serial investigation of contemporary art museums. By stripping away their contents, she brings to view the unknown structures which lie behind the surface of presentation. For this exhibition, she is showing work based on Tate Modern.

Claudia Pilsl is an Austrian born artist who presently lives in Bristol. She has mainly shown in Germany and Austria and in 2001 was a research fellow at the Photographic Department at the Southampton Institute. She has just won a major bursary for Fine Art Photography awarded by the Republic of Austria. For this exhibition, Claudia Pilsl was supported by the Southampton Institute.
