Adam
Garratt: EXHIBITION 1,1 Tue 16th Aug. - Sun 11th Sept., Exeter Phoenix cafe bar, Exeter, Devon Sewn together, the cut paper collages in Exhibition 1,1 describe aspects of architecture. In red, black, white, gold & shades of grey these bold images are set in reclaimed gold frames which encourage a sense of nostalgia. At close quarters the interactions between the materials used & lines in the work are revealed. In this second solo exhibition by Adam Garratt, a brand new series of work has been composed and is part of a growing collection that comment on the skylines of cities across the country. On mass, they are a directory of what may be considered mundane square buildings owned by councils, telecoms companies, factories or educational establishments. Built in Glass, Metal & Concrete. Re-created in paper. Private View: Wednesday 17th August 6.30pm Visit: www.tincollage.blogspot.com |

Big
Arts Student Opportunity On Saturday 21st May Lord Mayor's Day hits Plymouth City Centre. It's a massive celebration of Plymouth, with community stages, a huge young people's carnival parade and...well, that's where you come in. This year we (Barefoot – Plymouth Arts Education Agency) want to add some cutting edge, mind boggling, home grown street entertainment to the mix. We'd like arts students (art, drama, dance, music, media etc.) to take the lead and come up with art 'happenings', performance of all sorts, or anything else in between that you can cook up to amaze the public. * We'll provide a number of 'pitches' across the city centre and a mid morning to 1.00pm timetable so you can do your thing once, twice or three times in outdoor locations. We'll also help with advice, contacts and 'dealing with officialdom'. * You'll provide personnel, a great original idea and about 10-20 minutes of well-rehearsed attention-grabbing 'stuff' loosely based on the theme of 'Discovery'. It needs to be repeatable, interactive and suitable for a family audience. To get involved contact Cath Hough at Barefoot at or on 01752 636700 ext 4526 |

Project
Space 11 are hosting four week long residencies in our space
in Plymouth City Market. These will be running from 28th of February
– 26th March. We would like to invite third year BA Fine Art
students, MA Fine Art students and recent graduates of the BA and
MA Fine Art courses to submit proposals for a week long residency,
from Monday 28th February to Saturday 5th March. The deadline for
submitting proposals is Wednesday 16th of February. The residency brief: Four artists from a range of emerging to established levels of practice, each with a connection or an existing relationship/dialogue with the city will be resident in PS11. This connection with the city can be familial or creative - from an artist who has roots in Plymouth to an individual who has a track record of delivering projects in the region. Each artist will spend one week in the space - 10am – 4pm Monday – Saturday – with the simple brief that the work they make should respond to the location – such as the community/physical space/artist-led culture/history of market. Their practice will be under the scrutiny of the general public and dialogue and collaboration with audiences will be encouraged. At the end of the 4 weeks, there will be a panel discussion about the artists' experiences, the significance of a 'residency' in the public eye and what it means to have a relationship with a place. We can offer a £100 budget (production and fee), in kind support from the three of us (including marketing), and use of equipment from our partners (Plymouth College of Art, Plymouth Arts Centre). Students/graduates please contact us at e-leven@live.co.uk Many thanks, Beth, Bryony and Scott - Project Space 11 [cid:3379760296_121831399] |
