ASSEMBLY
9 May - 24 June
Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth
The Hut Project
Charlie Woolley
Jerwood Visual Arts (JVA) presents Assembly, an exhibition of three newly commissioned works and the forthcoming exhibition in the Jerwood Encounters series.
Assembly brings together the work of Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth, The Hut Project and Charlie Woolley - artists whose practice develops through dialogue and discussion within a collaborative process, and is influenced by the current digital landscape.
“Artists have always responded and adapted to technological advancements and cultural shifts. Within recent years a surge in the use of digital communication technology has impacted on artistic practice in the way work is produced, discussed and displayed. As a result there has been an increase in performance-based work, events, film, installation, broadcast and online exploration. Assembly aims to explore the influence of the constantly-shifting platform of the Internet and how work made in an increasingly digitalised world is reconciled within the context of a physical gallery space. ”
Sarah Williams, Curator
Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth's videos, events and installations use technologies that augment ways of seeing to create works that reveal how these technologies relate to the performativity of people, places and objects. Their work aims to heighten the sensual awareness of the staging of a place or event, changing the experience of viewing from spectacle to participatory. For Assembly, the artists will show an exploded, installation of their blog, an online record of separate journeys shown as a continuous chain of overlapping and mirrored events. The blog format opens up their working dialogue to examination and consists of two shared sets of intertwining video clips, which relate to the individual and personal journeys of the artists and their communication.
The Hut Project is an artist collective interested in how objects might perform as containers of their own process. Their discursive practice constructs long sequences of translations between action, image, and object, resulting in artworks that act like stages for, or between, events. The artists represent their work online using documents and information whose origin or relation is uncertain, a humorous critique of both autonomy and appropriation. For Assembly, The Hut Project will create a new dance work for video, derived from a segment of documentation of a previous performance. This will result in a large-scale production by a choreographer and dance company at a Jerwood Space rehearsal room. The production will be a one-off event, shown in the exhibition in the mediated form of a single-channel video installation.
Charlie Woolley brings together images, objects and collaborators within his practice, producing works that respond to a variety of subject matter from the flickering screens of television sets and found material from the Internet to exploration into the veracity of protest aesthetics. His epic Radio Show, an ongoing collaborative broadcast platform, has been presented in several galleries and has involved many participants. For Assembly , Woolley will create an installation containing drapes and furniture which will form the context of a space for activity. Over the course of the exhibition he will collaborate with individuals and organisations and will invite participants to take part in a series of events housed within his installation. The work becomes activated by interaction, conversation and the gathering of bodies in the space.
