HELEN HARDAKER Love Poems 23rd - 27th June 2008 Seeing through a departure from the work realised during last summer's residency at Meantime, Helen left the dog behind (though he's been visiting) and focused on flight. Although the power struggles and latent tensions of family life are still in evidence (see the curled fingers), the subjects are solitary figures. And seagulls. |

THE MEANTIME M.O. 12th - 17th November 2007 A week-long multiple occupancy of artists approaching drawing as a ‘map of mental process’, with a wall drawing by Onya McCausland (Gloucester Cathedral artist-in-residence) - Corner - Erased Drawing, in which graphite is systematically erased from one surface and restored to another in a cycle of exchange, and, informed by the building's previous incarnation as a printer's workshop, one part of the drawing peels away from the other like a printed text; a cleaning/drawing installation from CLEAN - Tea on the towel , with hand made tea towels canvases to the public in order for them to create their own piece of art, or do their own bit of cleaning; and drenched, intense pastel panels by Oliver Marsden. With live performances by Dominic Thomas - Drawing Out, or They can teach you how to drag a tea bag round on the end of a piece of string, but what do they know about the Quality of Line? (pictured); Colin Glen - Drawing on Memory, an exercise in remembering previous thoughts about the space before having seen it, and how, in anticipation, one already occupies the space before getting there; and Rupert Howe, reinterpreting Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing for the present situation. |
