Mirror, Staged, Emission
Mirror, Staged, Emission is a new collaborative project by Emma
Hedditch, Jimmy Robert and Emily Roysdon. The project consists of
three key elements; a period of correspondence, a series of events and
a publication. Prior to the series of events at Studio Voltaire, the
artists have developed the project with an exchange of open letters
that reflect on each artist's queer and feminist subjectivity, their
relationship to each other, and how to present this set of relations
to another public. All three artists will meet and use the Project
Studio at Studio Voltaire as a site of production and transmit a video
signal of their collaboration as a performance into the gallery space,
which they will then open to the public.
Emma Hedditch (Born 1972, UK) is an artist and writer based in South
London, who often works collaboratively with other artists and groups
of individuals with an interest in process over products. Heavily
influenced by politicalised conceptual practice and feminism, her work
often forms collectively produced films, fanzines as well as 'social
situations' such as workshops, screenings and events.
Jimmy Robert (Born 1975, France) studied at Goldsmiths' College
(London), was a resident artist at the Rijksacademie (Amsterdam) and
recently showed his work at the Tate Britain (London), Centre Pompidou
(Paris) and Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam). His works create a dialogue
between various elements, bringing together film, drawing, text,
collage, installation and performance to explore the performative
potential of materials, amongst which the body becomes an applicable
object.
Emily Roysdon (Born 1977, USA) is an artist and founding editor of the collectively published art journal LTTR (Lesbians To The Rescue). Originally trained in International Politics, she has developed an interdisciplinary practice that uses video, drawings, photographs, performance and text.
