Darren Banks: "Seeing in the Dark - A Group Show" CIRCA site, Newcastle, UK

Seeing in the Dark - A Group Show Preview: Wednesday 19 October, 6 - 9 pm Exhibition continues: 19 October - 12 November 2011 CIRCA Curtis Mayfield House, Newcastle upon Tyne Featuring work by John Adams, Kevin Atherton, Darren Banks, Jon Bewley, Ian Breakwell & Mike Leggett, Noel Clueit, David Critchley, Benedict Drew, Mat Fleming, Ken Gill, Richard Grayson, Emma Hart, Tina Keane, John Kippin, Hilary Koob-Sassen, Stephen Partridge, Heather Phillipson, Peter Todd, Maria Theodoraki, Belinda Williams Seeing in the Dark is an exhibition and series of events inspired by artist run groups from the 1970s and '80s, such as Newcastle's Ayton Basement and Basement Group, and London's 2B Butler's Wharf. These groups were formed by artists with diverse practices (music, performance, film and video) inhabiting vacant industrial spaces to produce opportunistic and eclectic events. Over four weeks Seeing in the Dark will occupy one floor of Curtis Mayfield House, a one time industrial space a stone's throw from the original Basement Group venue, to celebrate the influence and legacy of those artist-run spaces, extending this into the present with a contemporary focus. The exhibition will revisit key works from the '70s and '80s by artists associated with those groups among others, alongside contemporary media and performance artists' work, bringing together moving image and live performance by some of the most innovative artists working in the UK, from the past thirty years to the present day. These are hybrid cross-disciplinary, sometimes collaborative works that reverberate with a spirit of playfully serious enquiry and exploration; they are often wry, humorous and irreverent, revelling in language and wordplay, realised through film, video, spoken word, musical performance and installation. image: Darren Banks Clusterfuck 2 (Don't Look In The Basement Remix), 2011 (Still) Video Duration 05:10 Minutes (Looped) (DB0066) Courtesy of the artist and Workplace Gallery

Artists interrogate, dismantle, displace, replace and rebuild the tools and contexts of musical performance. From the use of instruments in extended ways, and playful explorations of audio/visual interferences, to work that abandons precision to embrace 'shoddiness', the exhibition brings together the slick and the shabby, the engineered and the experimental.

Wolfgang Weileder: "Stilt House" hub to hub, Singapore ArchiFest 2011, Singapore

Wolfgang Weileder  STILT HOUSE Hub to Hub consists of 7 Multidisciplinary teams from Singapore and around the world, made up of architects, artists, designers, technologists and businessmen, are selected to participate in the Hub-to-Hub public art program. They will develop 7 temporary installations and provide alternative ideas of public spaces and programmes to enliven the City's urban and forgotten spaces in Bras Basah.Bugis - the Arts, Culture, Learning and Entertainment Hub of Singapore. These projects will animate the various chosen sites during the Singapore ArchiFest 2011, and demonstrate the ability of temporary interventions to act as agents to interrogate public space and present new possibilities for physical and programmatic use. Date of Exhibition: 14 Oct to 4 Nov 2011 Venue of Exhibition: Bras Basah.Bugis TEAM EUROPE / DHOBY GHAUT GREEN TEAM Prof Wolfgang Weileder (Art, UK), Prof Simon Guy (Architecture, UK), Oliver Heidrich (Recycling Technology, UK) DESIGN STATEMENT STILT HOUSE is a site-specific artwork consisting of two interconnected structures that are made from recycled plastic waste. Sited at Dhoby Ghaut Green, the architectural installation offers, through it's perforated black walls, an elevated and translucent perspective on the surrounding land and cityscape. By reinterpreting this traditional housing typology, that was originally made from sustainable local materials and was ecologically adapted to the specific climate and landscape, the STILT HOUSE encourages us to rethink our relationship with the environment we inhabit. It also confronts us with the debris of our consumer society in the unexpected form of an innovative building material that translates waste into new productive and aesthetic uses. JURY CITATIONS Jury Citations: The Malay stilt house typology is very interesting in terms of environmental sustainability. It is thus relevant to the local context, questioning our cultural and environmental awareness as there are not many stilt houses left in urbanised Singapore.

The Art of Fear Takeshi Murata Darren Banks Jamie Shovlin My Barbarian Aida Ruilova Marnie Weber Previews: Wednesday 9th & Wednesday 15th October 2011 The infectiousness of horror cinema has spawned a generation of artists who explode conventional expectations of how horror is expressed and consumed. Hosted by Nighthawk Cinema in Brooklyn, The Art of Fear exposes this provocative relationship between horror film and visual art in a program of video and film works by international contemporary artists who glean from the structural, narrative and aesthetic style of horror cinema.
