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.

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.
