  • A Critical Exploration of Anya Gallaccio and Keith Arnatt
    The Transformation of Objects and Materials: A Critical Exploration of Anya Gallaccio and Keith Arnatt. BA Art and Design 2019/20 Birmingham City University by Polly Brant. Word Count 4211 Introduction Transformation is defined as “the action of changing in form, shape, or appearance” (Oxford University Press, 2019). But how is something transformed? It could be a gradual process that happens over time, in which a dialogue is created between the organic state of an object and the developments it endures over its lifetime, causing its appearance to change. It could also be the perception of how something is viewed. The object in different situations can alter its value, or how it’s displayed could alter viewer engagement. The material substances could also cause transformation due to how they react and are formed. Whether they are manmade, or natural leads to different pathways of transformation. Through this exploration the way artists transform materials and objects using their practice will be investigated. This body of research will unpick how process, natural or constructed, can cause transformation, allowing the form and materiality of the object to shift into artistic imagery. There will be case studies of art practices from Anya Gallaccio and Keith Arnatt, who both in different ways transform objects and their context within their practice. Gallaccio and Arnatt both reference the concept of still life in their work through focusing on the commonplace objects. This use of the ordinary allows for transformations to be created, taking an object out of its usual context and allowing it to become something more.

This process of gradual accumulation has resulted in a meta-artwork or a curatorial monster that mockingly presents a complete entity; a Frankensteinian self-portrait, drawn from people who have become familiar with Sadotti and his work over a twenty-five year period. The various elements of Sadotti’s figure are fitted onto a precisely engineered aluminium skeleton to present a character constructed from assorted media, including sculpture, two-dimensional materials such as painting and photography, neon, a rose frozen in a block of ice and audio-visual body parts. These objects result in a cacophony, which represent the different facets of the artist’s personality, as well as the varied ways of producing and interpreting figurative artworks. Among the remains are Simon Martin’s consciousness, which comes in the form of a real lemon, Georgina Starr’s brain made from bubble-gum and a tarot card, and Paul Noble’s spinning, hallucinogenic and multi-faceted left foot and toes hewn from polystyrene and plaster. THIS THIS MONSTER THIS THINGS will be displayed in Ikon’s Tower Room.

  • Alison Wilding at Karsten Schubert
    Karsten Schubert London Press Release Alison Wilding: Mesmer Again 7 December 2020–12 February 2021 Room 2, Soho, London | By appointment This solo exhibition displays Alison Wilding’s work in two contrasting rooms: one a spare look at her large 2016 piece Mesmer, the next an abundant display of new wall and table pieces and drawings. Renowned for her innovative approach to material, the works exhibited range from Mesmer, its wooden parts held together by m a g n e t s , t o s m a l l e r sculptures made of alabaster, bronze, fibreglass, silver wire and brass. Many of the works in Mesmer, Again were made by Wilding in 2020 and are exhibited here for the first time. This includes new series of drawings, dark in mood, made of black rubber paint, scraped and poured over sheets of paper and collaged. Mesmer, Again runs in Room 2, Karsten Schubert London’s gallery in a former apartment in a mid-18th-century Soho townhouse. For Wilding, this is an appealing location to show her works as it offers a view of what it is like to live with sculpture. As she says about her piece Drone 3 placed in the gallery’s window, ‘the north light coming through the window reveals something new about the sculpture, encouraging the viewer to approach the work quite differently compared with being in a white cube space, which is a showroom, not a living room.’ Mesmer, Again is accompanied by a catalogue featuring an interview with Alison Wilding by Tom Morton.
