The Penny Pinchers Carpet

The Penny Pinchers Carpet
9 December 2016 - 10 February 2017

Mischievous Artist Follie Gioir, asks us to look at the portable art in our pockets via the humble penny. With a knowing wink to global art market preoccupations of monetary value, via notions of originality, rarity and provenance. The artist continues to explore his obsessions with the grandfather of contemporary art Marcel Duchamp- with this ultimate ready made, the penny. Taking copper as his chosen medium, the installation will colour, bloom, blush and rust exposed to the environment at Elements Gallery London, the city's first permanent space dedicated to outdoor art. Penny Pinchers Carpet curated by Rebecca Feiner is a joint fundraiser for International Rescue UK & Bowel Cancer Research through auction of pennies in February 2017.

After the Sea

After The Sea
An exhibition on the seafront in Margate.
29 September - 30 October 2016

Look out of the window of Bernie’s Chocolate Bar and you’ll see the shining Margate sands, the sea and across the harbour the Turner Contemporary. Inside, for the whole month of October, the walls will be filled with work by two artists: Julie Caves (that's me) and H Locke. The exhibition will include over 30 paintings, drawings and prints.

Having set up a studio in Margate in 2014, Julie Caves and H Locke spend a lot of time by the sea – beachcombing, painting and drawing – with regular pit stops in Bernie’s to defrost from the off-season wintery seaside weather. They have explored Margate and Cliftonville during the recent years of transition for the area and this has heavily influenced the work they are showing.

Studio1.1:
'Of all the buzzwords we've had to get used to over the past few years, ('buzzwords' included) 'austerity' is one of the most popular. Popular with agenda-pushing politicians, that is. Not necessarily so welcome to the rest of us.
In the spirit of hope (against hope) we'd like to offer our Summer show, chosen from among studio1.1's membership. We asked for excess, exuberance and excitement. We got all of those in good measure and some sharp doses of irony too. We hope it helps.'

Leytonstone Arts Trail 2016

This will be the ninth Leytonstone Arts Trail!

Preview evenings on 30th June and 1st July will kick-off the Trail which runs 2-10 July 2016.

68 exhibitions, two full pages of events plus projects like the Gateposts Project.

You can flip through the guide soon on the website and in the meantime on the website you can read more about the artists and exhibitions.  When they are printed you'll be able to pick up a guide at the Stone Space Gallery, the Leytonstone Library, both near Leytonstone station, and many of the participating venues.

I will be participating in a few exhibitions and events:

I will have six to eight large paintings in the events room at the Heathcote Arms pub (you will pass it on the corner if you are walking from Leytonstone station to Norlington Road Studios.) My two paintings in the Waltham Forest Arts Club show at St John’s are a result of looking at gravitational waves a few years ago. I am working on some sculptures for that show as well; I am primarily a painter but often turn to sculpture when creating site specific work. I am making small acrylic paintings on paper from my Whole Picture series for the Art Grows on Trees in the churchyard. For the ‘Gateposts Project’ I will have a paper sculpture in a tree, some small art to take away and a pouch of flyers from my Have A Nice Day project (2004-ongoing) in the front garden of art lovers in Leytonstone.

Serena Joy - World Book Night 2016

A collaborative book, 'Serena Joy', was created by a group of 43 book artists for World Book Night 2016. The ideas were based on The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.

Discovery: Reimagining Darwin’s World

Discovery: Reimagining Darwin’s World

180 years ago Charles Darwin returned from a five year voyage around the world and published ‘The Voyage of the Beagle’. For this exhibition 12 artists have made work with ideas related to science, discovery, imaginative thought and the Victorian world.

In 1831 22-year old geology graduate Charles Darwin was invited to be the resident naturalist on an expedition aboard HMS Beagle. The main purpose of the voyage was to carry out detailed hydrographic surveys (of the geology of the seabed to obtain information for maritime navigation and marine construction) around the coasts of the southern part of South America. In 1836, after five years at sea instead of the originally planned two years, the ship returned by way of Tahiti and Australia after having circumnavigated the Earth. Darwin spent most of his time on land studying nature and interacting with the locals and kept a detailed journal of the expedition that became a popular travel book of the time: ‘The Voyage of the Beagle’. The book is a mixture of a travel memoir and a detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology and you can see some of Darwin’s early thinking on the subject of natural selection that he would later become best-known for.

On the 180th anniversary of the return of the Beagle to the UK, twelve contemporary artists have created an exhibition celebrating the voyage, the man, his journal and his ideas. The exhibition is taking place at the beautiful Espacio Gallery in East London, with two floors of light-filled space, 3rd – 15th May 2016.

Artists:
Graham Asker, Julie Caves, Alice Cazenave, Esperanza Gomez-Carrera, Nick Hazzard, Peter Lang, Ruth Jones, Natalie McIntyre, Jenny Price, Liz Whiteman Smith, Matt Smith, Sara Wickenden

Oak Leaf Cluster - Julie Caves 

For many years I have been visiting a 185-acre patch of woodland and grassland with a number of ponds near my home in East London that most people call Hollow Ponds. For this project I have changed from my casual approach and instead observed like a naturalist in an attempt to understand this interesting area better. Throughout the seasons I have been seen in every part of the area with camera, easel, sketchbook, video camera, collecting boxes, or lichen charts and always with my notebook. I researched old maps and photos and talked to people about the area. I have carried out an intensive observation in a methodical manner of discovery similar to that which Darwin employed on his journey. I have created paintings and drawings that reflect the discoveries I have made during my immersion in the forest.
