Production Line – Inland Studios

production-line

Private View: Friday 30 March, 18.00 – 21.00

Open to the Public: Saturday 31 March, 12.00 – 18.00

Venue: Inland, 25a Camberwell Church Street, SE5 8TR

Production Line is a performance that attempts to show how the people, jobs and processes that make up Bristol Diving School can be arranged in time.

Each person is assigned a discreet action to perform on a given piece of material. This action is individual to the person carrying it out. Conversely, the material is shared between all actors taking part in the process. These isolated actions on the material, in proper sequence, will result in the production of a sculpture that does not have an individual owner. What is produced is only fully owned by the brand.

This is a very literal interpretation of the group manifesto used in the conception of the Diving School itself which, serves the purpose of pronouncing our intent to produce work in a way that allows the development of new ways of working together.

Graduate Commision: Barbara Tong

As part of Clyde & Co’s ongoing long term project to support graduating students from three London Art Colleges, they made available a stunning site with enormous creative potential at their new offices situated in St Botolph’s, Aldgate to show graduate work.

The project was open to final year graduating students from Central St Martins, Chelsea and Wimbledon Colleges of Art and Design for competitive selection by way of submitted proposals and visualisations, individuals or groups of artists can apply. The form of the work can be various, from drawing through to painting, to low relief, and can be made/constructed with any appropriate materials. The commissioned artwork remains in situ for at least a year.
Recent Chelsea BA Fine Art graduate Barbara Tong’s work is currently being show. Barbara talks about her work below.

Title:  100 Miles Away
For this piece of work, I want to bring a bit of the outside to the inside and to remind us the beautiful environment we are in. Root is the main material for this work. It is strong yet resilient; it creates intricate network; it is probably the most important part of a tree. It is a celebration of life.
Most of the roots and logs in this work came from a woodland near Everton (New Forest), 100 miles away from the Clyde & Co. offices.

Bosco Verticale Chorale – Benji Jeffrey

Bosco Verticale Chorale – Benji Jeffrey

Date: Thursday 26 January 2012, 18.00 – 21.00 (with a performance starting every 30 minutes)

Venue: Inland, 25a Camberwell Church Street, SE5 8TR

BA Fine Art graduate Benji Jeffrey’s first solo show ‘Bosco Verticale Chorale’ is a serialistic composition for a small choir. The piece finds unexpected origins in a diagram describing the proposed organisation of plant life within the Bosco Verticale or Vertical Forest model. This model, conceived by the architect Stefano Boeri Architetti, consists of two eco-compatible residential towers that are currently under construction in Milan.

The project proposes the vertical densification of nature within the urban space to combat ongoing environmental collapse. Function becomes fantasy as Jeffrey’s piece deals with a conscious misunderstanding of the diagram and plays it out to the full.

A series of dialogues, found on the Inland website, accompany the performance, providing a fictional clarification of the artists intention. The diagram transforms to become both theater and fiction.

CLASHANDCONVERGEII

CLASHANDCONVERGEII

OPENING – 23 NOVEMBER, 5.00 – 7.30pm
Camberwell Space

Free entrance
 A Group Show of Moving Image Work from Camberwell, Chelsea and Wimbledon (CCW)Colleges of Art and Design

 If you make sculptures, paintings or drawings people get the chance to see these as they walk around each others studios but if you work in moving image often your work only ever exists in the confines of your computer.

CLASHANDCONVERGEII will create a space where students from all three colleges, courses, levels and disciplines can share their practice and process. With the aim to generate a moving image community across CCW we invited anyone to submit any moving image work, from tests, first tries and experiments through to finished pieces, to be shown in the gallery context in a number of ways. The only rule was that it had to be three minutes or less.

CLASHANDCONVERGEII is part of the wider CCW Artist Moving Initiative which funds moving image projects across colleges, disciplines and years with the aim to make the most of the creative infrastructure of the art school whilst enabling students to work to industry standard briefs and have their work shown at public galleries.
