First Salon / Social Mixer


Hello All, 

I hope i am giving everyone enough time and notice. The Salon on Dec 3rd will be structured as followed. 

1.) Parallex: a proposal from Holly Stevenson, MA Fine Art - Chelsea.  

The first part of the show is a group exhibition. The work on show will be curated using a narrative explaining that it would have been shown in the fictionally bankrupt Dirty Square Gallery (DSG1), which had belonged to owner and art aficionado Stella Koons Manet.i An installation of the Galleryʼs actual (virtual) existence and the show will be presented along the walls of the Woodmillʼs Project Space. The floor space will be left clear for the second part of the show, the event of Pass the Parcel. Students on the night of Salon will be invited to take part in the Pass the Parcel,

2.) Show Reel:

I would like to include student video work that can be added to a show reel. Anyone who would like to submit video work, please upload to Vimeo and send me a link. PLease, provide passwords where applicable. If u'd prefer to send a CD / DVD or use other means, i.e. sharing files via Skype or Dropbox, then please contact me and let me know. Anyone who would like to do a performance would be invited to do so. 

3.) A4 - 2-D work: 

For 2-D work, i'd like to try and include A4 color print outs of peoples' work as a way to introduce one another to the practice of others. I do not know how this will translate or if anyone is interested but i'd like A4 print out of peoples' work to be brought on Dec 1st to the Woodmill. This is a last minute addition. Space is a concern so i will see the general reaction to judge whether this is a viable option. 

Deadline: Nov 29th


The event will start at 5pm on Dec 3rd, followed by 2 Private Views at the Woodmill featuring Mark Fell (Solo Show) + Pale Blue Dot. 

For inquires or submissions, please e-mail me at j.y-barbo1@chelsea.arts.ac.uk or check the Salon blog at www.chelseasalonseries.blogspot.com

all the best, 

Joshua

About


    Following a series of Salon events that took place over the MA Fine Course 2009-10, a series of Salon events open to CCW students will be held over the duration of the current academic year. 
    The Salons both serve the need for frolicsome interaction between artists and utilize the educational aspects of these gatherings. This forum provides the opportunity for feedback on one’s practice as well as experimentation with ideas and concepts that might not have a direct connection to your studio work. The environment is of playful seriousness and allows ideas to be acted out and evaluated. Previous Salons have been  great opportunities to show case works or experiment with concepts and approaches seemingly unrelated to one’s creative practice.
    These events address the area between art education and professional practice. It is an area where students and professionals can meet, critique, share ideas & initiate discussion. These events allow space for the synthesis of one’s own specific research with more general sources of information and ideas. Each Salon event has been attended by academics, students, professional artists, directors and curators who have provided invaluable criticism and feedback.         
    Students from Chelsea, Camberwell, Wimbledon and Central Saint Martin’s Colleges have all participated in previous events, which have been inspiringly hosted outside of the academic settings of the various colleges and in established artist spaces, galleries and studios such as Auto-Italia, Flat-Time House and the Woodmill.
