Short Cuts 27 March - 01 May 2010 Tim Freeman, Henry Gwiazda, Rick Niebe and Lisa Stansbie Preview Fri 26 March 2010 6.30-9pm g39 presents a new group exhibition inspired by the film Short Cuts (1993). Directed by Robert Altman and drawn from nine short stories and a poem by Raymond Carver, the film traces the actions of twenty-two principal characters, both in parallel and at occasional loose points of connection. This show brings together work from Tim Freeman, Henry Gwiazda, Rick Niebe and Lisa Stansbie, a group of artists who manipulate or manufacture those loose points of connection to create impossible but plausible fictions. Lisa Stansbie continues an exploration of sculpture, film and photography through the use of Airfix model kits, informed by ambiguous narratives and stories. Through the use of out-dated analogue film stock and digital manipulation, Wales-based Tim Freeman�s Anti Nature uses un-doctored photographic images alongside manipulated ones, raising questions of the factual and fictitious elements of photography. Rick Niebe focuses his attention on ordinary anonymous images as well as on fragments from cinematographic history whilst Henry Gwiazda uses CGI moving image informed by his sound composition practice, aiming to disorient the viewer whilst playing a game between memory and formation of new meanings. Each work defies the concept of linear time and experience in the same way that Short Cuts presents you with an almost chaotic narrative of connections. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................. Cafe Artistique - Heather Phillipson: Sat 20 March 5pm Following on from her show in g39, Artist Heather Phillipson will discuss her practice with Lisa Le Feuvre in the informal setting of Cardiff Arts Institute. Afterwards the audience have the opportunity to put their questions to the pair. Heather Phillipson works primarily with moving images. Her work has been profiled on BBC2 television, BBC radio, in Artforum, Frieze and The Guardian. Phillipson is a classically trained musician with a parallel practice in poetry. She uses conjunctions and disjunctions of image, sound and performance. Her approach, attributable to her cross-media skills and interests, is manifest in works that allow an attunement to the unseen and unheard. The works often invent premises to generate sounds whose relative ordinariness is estranged through the odd circumstances of their making. Lisa Le Feuvre currently lectures on the MFA in Curating at Goldsmiths (University of London). Her curatorial practice operates across the registers of exhibition-making, writing, public speaking and teaching in the University context. Intrinsic to her work and research as a curator is the notion of �practice�, a process that interrogates the possibilities of critically engaged curatorial activities. Organised in partnership with g39, the event is free and there is no need to book in advance. Caf� Artistique Cardiff is an Axis initiative funded by The Arts Council of Wales. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ WARP Talk - Jennie Syson: Sat 20 March 3pm Curator Jennie Syson will be talking about the Nottingham based project Hinterland at g39's WARP space. Since 2006, Hinterland has worked together with artists, to closely examine geographical areas that surround the River Trent in Nottingham, which make up a ten-mile car free cycle route around the city known as the Big Track. Temporary site-specific commissions are selected to scrutinise specific places as though encapsulated in a species quadrant. The talk is free to attend however spaces are limited.
