'Project 1'
Alex Baggaley- presents an alphabet of ink and rubber stamps applied in a blind rush on wood. Vast panoramas, chaos, coincidence, accidental narratives, incidents, smudges, smears, shadows – executed in the moment and unedited.
Ben Tomlinson presents a series of texts and drawings that originate from the final chapter of the Dutch Translation of ‘E.T’ (the book of the film) translated into doggerel English through the sounds of an unfamiliar language.
Charlie Tweed presents the premier of ‘Lets Start Again’. A video promoting the ideas and concepts of the character and alter ego ‘Sirus Manzill’.
Manuel Saiz presents ‘Parallel Universes Meet at Infinity’. Saiz observed, selected and recorded particular animal characteristics at Dudley Zoo, choosing their best moments. He then auditioned trained and choreographed actors to recreate characteristics through attitude as opposed to simple physical mimicry.
Clare Quilty will emerge and perform 'The smell of your sweet....' His demonic imagery is a metaphor meant to rip the viewer out of complacency in order to raze the past and begin anew.
Miranda Peak presents an arrangement of small-scale paintings on card, cameos of the stuff of everyday life.
Will Daniels - ‘Vase of flowers in a window niche’ is a recreation of the painting of the same name by Dutch Master Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder painted c 1620. Will modelled a representation of the painting in cardboard, photographed the model and then used the photograph as a means to paint from.
The Welts perform a unique mix of music and visuals live within the gallery space."
