  • Gems Found Under the New York Subway!
    Press Release 15 March 2019 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Gems Found Under the New York Subway! Ilana Halperin: Minerals of New York 29 March - 9 May 2019 Following on from the successful launch of their new gallery, Leeds Arts University presents a solo exhibition with an international focus by New York born artist Ilana Halperin. Ilana Halperin grew up in New York, before moving to Scotland to study for a Master of Fine Arts at Glasgow School of Art, and now works between Glasgow and the Isle of Bute. Her practice is internationally oriented and explores the relationship between geology, everyday life and our understanding of deep time. Halperin combines fieldwork and study in museums, archives and laboratories with an active studio-based practice. Through her career as an artist she has celebrated her 30th birthday with a volcano born the same year; formed sculptures in caves and hot springs; and held the Allende meteorite, the oldest known object in the solar system, in her hands. The artist’s latest body of work 'Minerals of New York’, takes the form of a mineral biography of the city. Halperin describes the project: “The project began with an encounter with the Subway Garnet, a huge historic blood red mineral found on 35th Street and Broadway. It led me deep into the stores of the American Museum of Natural History, to a personal mineral museum in the basement of a small bungalow in Queens, and back again, to a piece of Garnetiferous Gneiss found 150 feet below the street where I grew up in New York City.” Ilana Halperin: Minerals of New York opens at The Blenheim Walk Gallery, Leeds Arts University, with a preview and in conversation with Lisa Le Feuvre on Thursday 28 March.

    © Ian Jacobs © Wattie Cheung © Ian Jacobs Michael Boyd We care for museum collections of national and international importance, presenting and interpreting them for a broad audience. Our wealth of objects represents everything from Scottish and international archaeology to applied arts and design, from world cultures and social history to science, technology and the natural world. We work with museums and communities across Scotland and beyond, introducing our collections to a much wider audience than can physically visit our museums, through partnerships, research, touring exhibitions, community engagement, digital programmes and loans.

  • Pi Artworks London: the World Made New Sovay Berriman, Ilana Halperin, Iz Öztat, Lindsay Seers, Michelle Williams Gamaker C
    Pi Artworks London: The World Made New Sovay Berriman, Ilana Halperin, Iz Öztat, Lindsay Seers, Michelle Williams Gamaker Curated by Oliver Sumner 14 April – 13 May 2017 Private View: 13 April 2017, 18:00 – 21:00 Pi Artworks London is pleased to announce The World Made New curated by Oliver Sumner. The World Made New is the fourth of five exhibitions that make up Pi Artworks London’s Curatorial Season that runs from October 2016 – July 2017. For the season Övül Ö. Durmusoglu, Alexandra Schwartz, Sacha Craddock, Oliver Sumner, and Morgan Quaintance have been invited to devise and develop their own curatorial project working with artists predominantly or entirely from outside the gallery’s roster. The World Made New draws resonances in the work of five international artists (based in London, Glasgow, Cornwall, and Istanbul), through personal myths of history and landscape. Often departing from superficial reality, the diverse narrative practices of Sovay Berriman, Ilana Halperin, İz Öztat, Lindsay Seers, and Michelle Williams Gamaker find another kind of truth in relation to land and time. Self-referential approaches blend autobiographical details with personal mythologies of birth, transfiguration, and constructed identity. Islands, markers, and symbols are recurring motifs, recalling land artist Robert Smithson’s visionary take on the post-industrial environment of 1960s New Jersey. Ritual and performativity emerge as points of connection. The viewer is taken on a journey through the natural environment and human society; fraught with disorienting coincidences, displacement, rupture, and imaginative leaps. The title of the exhibition alludes in part to a reconception of the world as seen with each artist’s particular vision.
