WORKPLACE is delighted to announce a new collaboration with M I L K artists collective.

M I L K will takeover Workplace Gateshead for a 2 Month period as organisation in residence during which they will programme 3 group exhibitions and a series of accompanying talks and events featuring both M I L K members and invited artists from the North East region and further afield.

 

The first two exhibitions are about doubt from within and from without. Both exhibitions address themes that are relevant to early-career and emerging artists and will provide an important comment on what it is to be a young artist in the North in 2016.

 

This Is It, Isn’t It? explores ideas of self-awareness, self-reflexivity and self-doubt as a core of artists’ practice.

The final exhibition will open on 3rd January.

M I L K  x  WORKPLACE closing party will take place on Saturday 14th January 2017.

Further details to be announced.

 

M I L K are an artist-led collective based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Formed in 2015, M I L K aim to provide a platform for emerging artists to exhibit. As practicing artists themselves, M I L K members perceived a lack of opportunities and recognised exhibition spaces in Newcastle for early career and emerging artists. M I L K seeks to address this discord with a varied programme of exhibitions and events focused on supporting early career artists both regionally and nationally.

There will always be cowboys

October 31st - December 1st 2016

York College Gallery, Sim Balk Lane, Bishopthorpe, York YO23 2BB

Opening times: Mon - Friday 9-5pm

 

There will always be Cowboys is a dreamlike film-poem that takes the viewer on a fictional journey through the American landscape from Oklahoma to California following the 'Mother Road', a name coined by John Steinbeck in The Grapes of Wrath, a novel that documents the lives of the dustbowl migrants who fled drought and dust storms during the great depression.

 

Deliberately lo-fi in its process and aesthetic, the film is made by collaging together clips from amateur travel videos found on YouTube. The dialogue in each clip is translated by Google automatic captions, and the resulting subtitles are full of slight mis-translations that provide a disquieting and poetic quality to the narrative.

 

The clips are stitched together to create short film-poems that refer to the idea of the 'stream of consciousness'- a literary device in which the writer attempts to remove rational thought, instead presenting the inner consciousness of the characters.

 

The use of found and incidental imagery of American life creates a narrative sequence that is heavy with romantic reference and familiar cinematic imagery interrupted by strangely banal and absurd moments from the minutiae of the personal lives of the original authors.

 

There will always be cowboys is the latest short film by Cath Campbell taken from her on-going series Canary yellow with royal blue following classic literary, cinematic and historical road trips across the American landscape.

TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art is an annual contemporary art auction held in the Richard Meier-designed Rachofsky House in Dallas, benefiting two organizations—the Dallas Museum of Art and amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. TWO x TWO is such a successful event because it provides an opportunity to support two very worthy organizations.  amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research, has made great strides in essential AIDS research initiatives over the last 25 years, and TWO x TWO has become amfAR’s largest fundraiser in the United States.  The Dallas Museum of Art has added over 220 major works of contemporary art to their permanent collection with TWO x TWO proceeds donated to their Contemporary Art Acquisition Fund and exhibitions. TWO x TWO is also the DMA’s largest annual fundraiser.
