Thank You for Your Enthusiasm and Involvement in the Core Arts Salon

Rebecca Rendell   - MA Fine Art Chelsea College 2012/13

Dear all,

we would like to thank you for your enthusiasm and involvement in the Core Arts salon event that we held on Friday evening. We really enjoyed hearing you present your work, getting to meet you properly and the discussions that followed.

It was somewhat of a challenge to run the timetable of activities in the way we wanted to, as not everything went to plan (which often happens when you are collaborating with external multi functioning space and partners) but we think everyone managed very well, even with the beginning background noise of sound checks and so on! We hope that you enjoyed the informal and relaxed style of the salon event which is a way that we like to engage with you and your work, including external contacts.

We are in the planning stages for more salon events in a range of different spaces across London which will be geared towards work that is digital/ film for example, performance and painting. We are also working on an event that will involve students from other MA courses (curating and art theory) at the college, perhaps involving responding to a text or other catalyst....

We will be working towards creating a new website soon as well, but in the meantime please check our blog site chelseasalonseries.blogspot.co.uk where we will post the showreel and photos from the Core Arts salon event.

If you are on Facebook then please join our group called Chelsea Salon Series which you can search for.

Many Thanks

The Chelsea Salon Series hosted by Core Arts

Current MA fine Art students at Chelsea College compered by Brian Chalkley in association with Joshua Y'Barbo, Jenny Gordon, Fiona Whitty & Kate Ross present a Salon exhibition of theirs and Core Artists work. Experimenting with concepts seemingly unrelated to their practice with an evening of casual feedback from fellow students, alumni and Core Arts studio artists. 6-8.30pm

Sophie O'Neill studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, then went on to complete a BA at Central St. Martin's College in Graphic Design. Her move to study Design was prompted by the feeling that it could provide a practical way to earn a living as a creative practitioner. Inevitably O'Neill returned to her first love – the world of Fine Art. Over the past two yearsCore Arts has been the catalyst that has enabled her to explore herartistic potential and develop as an artist.In Concept PaintingO'Neill experiments with the borders between figurative portrait painting, abstraction and the ideas that link the two.

Core Printmakers show work produced in the Core Arts printmaking studio.
Access To Music Showcase, performers from the UK's most prodigious music course, which has launched the careers of chart toppers Ed Sheeran & The Saturdays, showcase live at Core Arts plus many special guest musicians and DJ's
DOOR: 6pm-11pm TIME: Music from 8.30 -11pm

COST: FREE ENTRY

VENUE: Core Arts Gallery

ADDRESS: 109 Homerton High Street Hackney E9 6DL (bottom of Chatsworth Rd E9 next to St Barnabas Church, easy buses/Homerton Overground 5 mins away)

Licensed bar, proper community vibe
CORE ARTS:Forging its own path in largely uncharted territory between arts centre, community space and commercial art gallery, Core Arts is first and foremost a creative hub with strong links to the local community. Core Arts is run exclusively by practicing artists and musicians, for artists and musicians who have, or have had, severe and enduring mental health issues.
Artwork or performance at Core Arts is not judged or displayed on these terms. Pigeon-holes that categorise into ‘outsider’ or ‘therapy’ are strongly avoided. Individuality and creativity are respected and nurtured; artists are encouraged to develop their own strategies. Often, professional artists, musicians and writers share the same wall, stage and page as Core Arts members, without hierarchy. The results are exciting, refreshing and challenge both artistic and mental health preconceptions and clichés.
This show, with a host of exhibitors including many highly respected professionals from all areas of the arts, reinforcing and supporting Core Arts philosophy, is an introduction to the pioneering approach that Core Arts has pursued since its conception some 20 years ago.

Painting In Conversation: An International Exhibition of Paintings Made by Artists on Chelsea's MA in Fine Art

Painting In Conversation:An International Exhibition of Paintings Made by Artists on Chelsea's MA in Fine Art

Chelsea’s MAFA is comprised of an international body of artists who have all brought with them their unique cultural, political, and art making values influenced by their respective homes. 

This exhibition addresses the opportunities, unanticipated changes in trajectory, and even difficulties that have come about as a result of the shared intimate environment in the studio spaces with colleagues from all over the globe. Indeed, the conversations we have in our studios each day-- about painting history, our work, our lives and insights on the world--are proving to be influential for us and this exhibition showcases paintings that have been realised in this context. The works in this exhibition are a visual manifestation of our ongoing critical dialog with one another, spoken by manifold painters in manifold tongues.

Artists:
Jean Kim, Liz Elton, Nicholas Dedics, Adam de Boer, Johanna Keogh, Maarten Van Den Bos, Dalia Baassiri, Alison Lucas, Mohammad Namazi, Michal Kozlowski, Yue Xiaofei, Nakyoung Kim, Sakura Mori, Sanghyun Kim, Sejung Lee, Shiew Eng Hii, Xiao-yang Li, Soo Eun Baik, Thekla Ek, Jae Youn Won, Xingyue Zhang, Yuma Tomiyasu, Alejandro Salcedo Barrero, Chen-Shih Lu, Rebecca Byrne, Kan Xie

PRIVATE VIEW: Wednesday July 18th 2012 from 5:00pm till 9:00pm

Thursday 19th & Friday 20th (from 12pm till 7pm)
Saturday 21st (from 11am till 1pm)

Location: The Bussey Building
133 Rye Lane, London, SE154ST (20secs from Peckham Rye Station)
