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)

The next Chelsea Salon Series Salon will be run by Fiona and Jenny. They have worked in a variety of interesting and exciting ways to realise their ideas in different art forms. Fiona and Jenny would like to capture the adventurous and experimental spirit of their Askew events and first salons held at Chelsea College in the  year that they took their course.

This means that this salon will be open and encouraging. There is no specific theme, but the aim is for students to be experimental, risk taking and daring! It doesn’t have to be pieces that you are working on at the moment. It doesn’t have to be something that is finished and final. For example, try working in a different format or media or with subject matter other than what you usually use. What about using dance, music, poetry or cooking something new  you haven’t tried before! We really want to encourage performance and interaction. Think about those ‘60s and ‘70s ‘happenings’ which embraced the experimental and free thinking zeitgeist...

The salon will be held at Harts Lane Studio in New Cross Gate on August 3rd. Installation will begin at 11am and de-installation must be complete by 6pm on the same day. It is the responsibility of the artist(s) to deliver and install you work, so please be prepared. 

The salons are open to the public and we encourage you to invite anyone you'd like to attend. 

About Whitty Gordon Projects Fiona Whitty and Jenny Gordon are artists and filmmakers who met on the MA Fine Art course at Chelsea College of Art & Design in 2009. Since graduating together they initiated ‘Askew’, which was a multi-disciplinary platform for artists to exhibit work in galleries and found spaces across London. Since then, they have set up Whitty Gordon Projects and have collaborated together on In-Between Spaces Jamaica, funded by Open Vizor 2010, 2011 and again in 2012, where they intend to continue to develop their artistic projects with the community of downtown Kingston. 

Fiona is Irish and Jenny is British/Jamaican. Cultural Identity is a theme that is explored in the work of Whitty Gordon Projects which shine a light on the unseen lives and stories in downtown Kingston, Jamaica through the medium of short films. Their work is experimental and documentary style, dealing with many aspects of the human condition and identity, nature, loss and migration.

For Display Purposes Only*

HEAT, SMOKE, KITCHEN UTENSILS, SOUND, SOUND INSULATION, DETERGENT, 

3-D and 2-D work'. Some of the works in this exhibition concentrate

on the use of senses other than sight. This not only refers

to works producing or dampening aural sensations (a.k.a sound-art),

but to the 'clean' smell of detergents and the hotness of a heater.

How much are we willing or prepared to invest in a

work that is not only 'in front of our eyes'?

There are other themes emerging from the clutter of this seemingly eclectic mix of art work : “experiments” that might remind one of

high-school science classes, diy sound insulation that

could look like an empty canvas, collapsed cardboard structures that

could get more attention than the ones next to a bin, organised

detergents in the style of dot painting or a religious ritual,

painting and drawing a picture, buying a heater from Argos, 

mimicking a guitar body or stacking clay.The materials used reflect 

what is readily available.

FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY

Is a group show featuring the work of eight international artists based in South East London. For further information please visit the individual artist’s websites listed below. 

Private View Monday June 18^th,  6 – 10pm.

Exhibition continues June 19^th – 22^nd. 12 – 5pm.

June Update

 Hello Everyone, 

We're currently working on a few projects and will be updating the blog very soon. A few things to look forward to are 2 events at the Bussey Building opening June 18th and July 18th.

We're also working with former Chelsea students in coordinating a salon in Clapton as well as looking at a space in Battersea for sculpture, installation, video and sound works. 

We'll update the blog as soon as we've confirmed dates. 

best, 

Laura & Josh

Update: Round Chapel Salon- Participating Artists and Install Details

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry about the late reply but i have an updated list of participants and install team memebers. Please note that *Everyone from Camberwell, Wimbledon and all Alumni are welcome to install their own work due to smaller numbers. If anyone has any questions, please email Kate, Laura or myself at chelseasalonseries@gmail.com

best,

Josh

Chelsea Salon Series at Round Chapel

Installation Details:

Time: Installation will start at 10am on Thurs, April 26^th.

The event is from 17:00 – 21:00.

After this, all works need to be collect and removed from the space. Anyone needing to arrange to have their works picked up the following day will need to do so with one of us on the salon team. Pick-up on Friday, April 27^th will be between 10am-3:30pm. Anything not removed will be disposed of.

Notes on installation: participants are required to provide their own installation materials. We will not have the items that have been approved to use in the space, which I’ve mentioned below.

1.    We're not able to drill into the walls but blue / white tack or adhesive backed hooks are acceptable.

2.   Hang wire can be used to hang work in the stair wells and off the balcony and in between columns.

3.    There are step ladders and tables available to use for installation and showing work. No plynths are available so bring your own.

4.    Anyone looking to hire a van, should look at Addison Lee. They run very cheap rates but do not allow you to ride with the work so there needs to be people at the site to unload.

I will be at the site from 10am onward and can help organise the unloading of work.

I've asked the participants who visited the site last Friday to help on during the installation as they are familiar with the space. I've listed these participants below.

*Everyone from Camberwell, Wimbledon and all Alumni are welcome to install their own work due to smaller numbers.

Updated Participation list and notes on installation team are listed below.

UPDATE - Salon at Round Chapel on APRIL 26th

interior of the Round Chapel

Hello Everyone, 

Just a quick update on the salon at Round Chapel. Please, have a look and pay close attention to details regarding the Install Team if you are working in 2-D. This is very important for participants to understand. The shows are not curated. The idea behind a salon is to show case a wide variety of fine art practises and not just a particular theme or topic. This allows for multiple areas of discourse to be reached and to be followed up on through a publication we are planning to release post event. 

1. deadline for payment and submissions are Monday, April 23rd. 

The online payment system is now live and ready for you to pay your £10 fee for the Round Chapel Salon on 26^th April.

Once you have paid the £10 then that will confirm your slot to show your work at the salon. Please pay as soon as possible as this will help us to arrange everything else and organise our funds for more events. One person can pay for other people as well and you will need to write their names in too, so that we can keep a record of everyone who has paid.

I’ll be keeping track of who has paid and chasing up those who haven’t, so that we’ve got a completed list of who is confirmed to show their work.

You will need to set up an account which doesn’t take long, if you don’t already have one.

The link to pay is below so click on it, register and then you can pay

http://estore.arts.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&prodid=65&deptid=178&catid=32

2. A  second site visit to Round Chapel is scheduled for this Friday 20^th April at 4pm. 
location: 1d Glenarm Road Hackney E5 0LY. We've had to reschedule due to scheduling conflicts. Apologies. 


We need the Install Team to be present as well as any participants who would like to have a look at the space and voice their opinions. (*anyone wishing to visit the site over the weekend of April 13-15th, please send an email and we’ll try to arrange). 

3. Install Team:  We need 5 Volunteers to email chelseasalonseries@gmail.com from each course to be on the install team. These students will be crucial in the way work is installed and displayed. Also the install team will coordinate van and equipment hire with others on their courses. We will be available to help coordinate the install team

• Van & Equipment Hire: We can not provide any money for van hire or equipment. We can suggest places to contact in the case that the Colleges don't have the equipment needed but can not get involved with either hire due to costs and insurance.
• Placement of Works: The placement of works will be decided by the install team with as much consideration for participants requests as possible. Certain works will need to be installed by the artist. In these situations, this needs to be approved by Laura or myself. Laura Carew, Kate Ross, Robert Cliff (editing the post salon publication) and myself will work with the install team to make sure everyone's work is given the most consideration in installation and presentation. We do not have a concrete plan and would urge 2-D artists to visit the space Thurs, 19th to voice their opinions and concerns. This is a very specific space with little wall space.  I would like to emphasise the role of the install team and ourselves in placing the works. Some of the ideas discussed are listed below;

1. using the existing architecture as a positive element and working with the original architecture
2. using furniture available to us in the space such as round tables and chair
3. using the round tables to discuss topics / discourse of interest
4. paintings can be leant against front row benched on the upper gallery level, using the decorative balcony grid as a ‘window’ onto the work  as well as hanging from the arches on the first floor 
5. use the large floor space as wall space by showing the works on the floor so they'd be viewed from the 2nd floor balcony with partitions to prevent people from walking on the paintings...
6. aisles between bench seating could be used to show work 

Current Install Team: 

Chelsea: Elena Artigas - MAFA, Saba Zavarei - MAFA, Jamie Barbor - PgDip, Helen Turner-MRes

Camberwell: currently no volunteers

Wimbledon: currently no volunteers

4. notes about the space: for video / installation / etc...

i. there are a number of plug points on both sides of the space

there is a pulpit area that could be used for a bar/ performances

it would be easy to project material onto the walls in several ways around the space and in the corridors. 

5. Publication: The publication is something new. Based on the writings of Charles Baudelaire and the Parisian Salons, it will be a post salon followup with the chance to publish written works, feedback comments and images from the event. Robert Cliff will be editing the publication and working with Kate Ross. We are looking for ways to fill the content of this publication and welcome contributions ideas and feedback. If you are interested in contributing, please email us at the salon series email address. 

6. BAR: The Chelsea MA Catalogue Team has been contacted to organise the bar as a fundrasier. Please, talk to your course representative on this team to offer help and support.

We have a volunteer from Wimbledon who has expressed interested in setting up a bar as well. Please, contact Amelia Critchlow ameliacritchlow@hotmail.com if you are on a course at Wimbledon to volunteer.  

I hope that answers your questions. I wanted to make another point that we are solely volunteering our time for Chelsea Salon Series and by no means receiving financial gain. We are all alumni who are donating our time to help provide opportunities for current students and fellow alumni. We try very hard to ask for little to no financial contribution out of respect for fees already paid for studies. Having said this, financial obligations do occur and we weigh these against the potential gain for everyone involved. 

best, 


Joshua
