Another Destination

PARALLEL VIENNA 2015

23rd - 27th September

Alte Post

Dominikanerbastei

 

Tuesday 22nd September

Public Opening 18:00 - 22:00

Opening Party 22:00

 

Parallel Vienna is taking place for the third time in Vienna and remains true to its principle of using abandoned property in the city centre as a presentation platform for new and established art. Parallel Vienna 2015 is a fully curated show titled "Another Destination". The Parallel Vienna curator team chooses galleries, artists and curators and additionally invites project spaces which fit into the overall concept. In cooperation with the Austrian Federal Chancellery, a group of six independent curators will be chosen by the Parallel team to design their own space.

 

This year, galleries, artists, project spaces and curators will be exclusively invited and selected by Parallel Vienna. In 2015, Parallel Vienna is using the extensive premises of the Alte Post in the first district as a platform for contemporary art, thereby creating a unique framework for innovative exhibits. Parallel Vienna pools the urban forces of contemporary art production and offers an insight into different scenes, communities and areas of Vienna.

 

Parallel Vienna presents young and aspiring as well as established artistic works and collects art initiatives of every kind - art associations, galleries, project spaces, curated project spaces and artist spaces - all under one roof.

 

Parallel Vienna therefore combines streams of Viennese artistic creation with international trends and contributes to the active networking of young creative people by establishing a professional platform for them in the extensive space of the Alte Post.

 

Parallel Vienna 2015 is an art show, exhibition, gallery and studio. As a meta-organisation whose do-it-yourself (DIY) principle translates into the infrastructure of the artistic institution, the exhibition platform manages itself: a trading centre for new ideas and a dedicated testing ground for self-professionalisation. This year, Parallel Vienna presents an insight into and divergent works of new and established contemporary art for the third time with more than 400 national and international artists, 20 galleries, 40 project spaces and 42 artist spaces, as well as 15 independent curators.

UH Galleries

University of Hertfordshire Galleries
 

Monday - Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm

18 September - 17 October 2015
Artists Reception: Thursday 1 October from 6pm - 8:00pm
Artists Talk: 7pm

 

UH Galleries opens its Autumn 2015 exhibition season with unpainting \ / resurfacing, a remarkable exploration of the process of painting which focusses on doing, undoing, layering and revealing in the work of seven UK-based contemporary painters. unpainting \ / resurfacing showcases new work by Daniel Davies, Sarah Dunn, Peter Lamb, Paul Merrick, Jost Münster, Alexis Teplin and Finbar Ward.

Examining abstract paintings and the art of bricolage - the process of creating work from diverse materials and concepts - the exhibition presents paintings not as inert objects but as reactive combinations of layers. Rather than focussing on the 'finished' work the paintings are in a constant state of flux, with 'work in progress' and 'process' regarded as ends in themselves.

The participating artists defy easy definition, and, like their predecessors throughout painting's long and varied history, they bring a very personal vocabulary of recurring marks, motifs and patterns to their work. Responsive to the onslaught of digital imagery, the cultural trends and behaviours, which assail us every day, the painters in unpainting \ / resurfacing are thoroughly rooted in contemporary experience.

Daniel Davies' paintings tile, repeat and reproduce. Critiquing superficial daily encounters with poor-quality images on the internet, Davies gives this source imagery renewed physical presence, layering the low-resolution images and embellishing them with his own hand-rendered language of gestural marks.

Sarah Dunn's Flooded Margins reworks an existing sculpture, deconstructing a large architectural column into a series of floor based sculptures. Assembled from hundreds of pastel coloured panels, the abstract 'painted' surfaces are in fact used 'colour catcher' sheets processed through the mechanics of a washing machine.

Peter Lamb's paintings are based on a never-ending process of reworking images. Starting with photographs of his studio, he repeatedly reprints, rescales and repaints, creating an entangled web of self-references.

Paul Merrick's approach to painting draws together elements of the 'made' and the 'ready-made'. Incorporating materials like building supplies and furniture, Merrick will create a new floor based work assembled from reclaimed card tables. Scuffed, faded and varying in sizes, shapes and tones, these works offer pure expressions of materiality, surface and form.

Jost Münster un-paints existing work, reworking and working over the top of older paintings. By undoing their existing form, literally cutting them up into tiles or swatches, Münster creates new works, which retain traces of an 'original'. Developing this idea Münster now makes paintings exclusively for the purpose of reworking them.

With a strong relationship to sculpture and performance Alexis Teplin's practice is rooted in abstract painting. Inspired by art historical references ranging from Rococo to 20th-century avantgarde, her exuberant abstract works explore the history of painting and femininity.

Finbar Ward's stretchers and stray timbers are stacked, packed and compressed in forms and motifs that allude to the tradition of minimalist painting. Anxieties regarding the validity and status of painting have become a driving force in Ward's work, where he endeavours to keep us looking and subvert the 'deathlike' state of the 'finished' painting.

Workplace is delighted to present Ellipsis, Laura Lancaster's 4th solo exhibition at our Gateshead gallery.

 

Lancaster's recent paintings are based upon her collection of found anonymous home movies. The incorporation of moving image into her work marks a significant departure for Lancaster. Her new paintings explore the cinematic and the temporal contained with the found image whilst, simultaneously, the depiction of the physical film as object opens up the painting process itself allowing for a deeper investigation into the mechanics of images, and the way in which they are created and consumed.

 

In all the works, evidence of the film as an object is visible, in the sprocket holes and marks left on the film, referring to its mechanical, functional characteristics. These elements disrupt the coherence of the images highlighting their constructed nature. These devices also force the abstract and the figurative to exist on the same picture plane and allow for this dialogue to take place more overtly within my practice." (Laura Lancaster, 2015)

 

The exhibition title Ellipsis refers toa continuity-editing device used in filmmaking. An ellipsis in narrative leaves out a portion of the story, often to condense time, or to allow the viewer to fill in the missing narrative with their imagination. Lancaster's series of large diptychs extract the first and last frame from a film and place them one above the other, literally only showing the beginning and the end. The notion of movement and time is also present in Lancaster's recent painting installations comprised of multiple images taken from a sequence of frames from a film. Threshold 2015 is made up of 24 individual paintings, with a single super-8 film frame as its source. Hung sequentially, the paintings represent one second of footage based on the cinematic frame rate of 24 frames per second. Threshold focuses upon the dichotomy of stillness and movement, the animate and the inanimate inherent within the painted film still. 

 

The repetition of the figure in this work restates its own artificial, constructed nature over and over again...  This split second of recorded time is analyzed and revisited throughout the painting process and as a result my presence is woven into the temporality of the film, as an unseen observer. (Laura Lancaster, 2015)

 

Laura Lancaster was born in Hartlepool, UK in 1979. She lives and works in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.

Private View: Thursday 10 September 2015, 18.00-20.00
Exhibition: 11 September - 13 December 2015

Evans is interested in the nature and ideas of finite truth in an infinitely changeable universe and works with drawing, sculpture, installation, performance and sound in an attempt to make sense of the ungraspable realities we live within.

Fascinated by systems and patterns, Evans will show a number of process based drawings, many comprising complex structures of lines built up over a period of years. Alongside these are several new works, including a two part print edition, a unique projection technique for a super8 film, didactic oak panels, computer controlled spinning pentatonic bells, and Broken Telephone, a sound work featuring Mark Fell, Laura Cannell and Rhodri Davies.
