Lisa Selby - Artist Crit at ICA

CRIT: Megan Broadmeadow and Joey Holder at the ICA studio You are invited to join the next in a series of discussions arranged by Lisa Selby, one of last year’s Goldsmiths MFA Fine Art graduates and a visiting tutor at Nottingham Trent University. The group was put together to sustain ongoing conversations around the work of fellow artists. These crits are for artists to show new works, in new places and meet new people. Graduates and students from colleges such as RCA, Slade and Chelsea are attending theses sessions and integrating with Goldsmiths graduates and current students. The two people showing work (usually in a one night 'pop up' format), generally have similar concerns and have a large amount of input in the structure and venues.  Tuesday 10th April - 7.30pm - Bring drinks, snacks, eyes and brains. Megan Broadmeadow's  work finds its origin in customs and folklore, yet mixes in references to current popular phenomena to re-examine the position and relevance of these traditions in today's society. The resulting fabricated new mythologies are a hybridization of street theatre, carnival and disco cultures. In Broadmeadows live work, she is mostly engaging in the transformative moment of the performative act with a particular interest in character, ridiculousness and ritual. She uses seductive colour and materials to raise tensions between surface and structure in objects. A strong interest is evident in costume and the adornment of the body when performing. Megans intentions are to magnify archetypal characters and themes through a fantastical approach yet at the same time question the universal traits that we recognise. Her final works take varied forms mainly incorporating combinations of sculpture, performance, costume and video. http://www.megartmix.co.uk/ Joey Holder's work to date has included painting, sculpture, video and digital manipulations. Often using cheap plastic, kitsch or found objects and fabrics she imitates so called organic substances within a series of abstractions, creating a world of manifold layers, none more unified or natural than the next. Mutated images are congealed into stable configurations, whilst remnants are suspended in illumination, creating a supersaturated vision of pure display and hyper-aestheticization. http://www.joeyholder.com/ http://www.joeyholder.blogspot.co.uk/ Megan Broadmeadow 'The way to do it' Wood, canvas, paint 2011 Joey Holder 'Bi-Crystal' & 'Photovoltaics' Feb 2012 Digital Prints Come along!

ARTIST TALK + CRIT?

Carmen would like to make a film screening talk as a respond to our show.

I don't totally understand how this would look like - I suppose she thinks we are going to have 

a screening.....do we? And if not, would we like to have one she prepares for our show?

She said, she would like to pick some of the works for the show and put it into a film context or 

video art context. what do you think?

Lisa Selby wasn't sure, if she can convince the Goldsmiths crit group to talk about our show. 

she is interested in a collaboration, but just to bring the group in without any participation, she 

things this might not happen .... because the people are too lazy and they don't know anyone of us.

So she is open to any other ideas .... how could we make an interesting "thing" together - that it is 

not just based on us but more open - any ideas?

< Sunday 29th (Closing day) 1.30pm -3pm>

DIY AFTER SCHOOL?

what is about to have something like a 15 min presentations on the 22nd about "DIY After School"?

we could invite artists to talk about self-organisations, commitments to the art sceen and especially the 

idea of Do-It-Yourself. Like our show!

We could create a 1 and a half hour presentation program and a discussion can happen naturally afterwards, but not on a stage) ....

I have different people in my mind, so just people I know well ... and I am very open to other ideas from your side please.

If we can have at least 4 participants, that would be nice.

Lisa Selby - could talk about her Goldsmiths crit group, she created after her degree. This is running monthly in different places, 

including mostly a small show with 2-3 artists. Past and recent goldsmith students participating in the crits as a way to keep going with your fellows.

Der Warst (Simon Schäfer) - organises "geek" circuit banding events, radio shows and performances. He invites different international 

artist to let them play and perform together. The events are quite fluid and overlapping, the artist collaborate sometimes directly as a 

response on the act of another artist. 

Magda Fabianczyk -  She collaborates with artist communities in India or Pakistan and creates new works and shows 

as a exchange of ideas from different perceptions. www.fabianczyk.com

as "the Karaoke Project" and to talk about further plans and up-coming events like the sixteenth dimensions book/object publication.

Tract Projects / Tilly Fowler - TRACT projects is a continually expanding collective of artists and practitioners linked through the participation in,
