There and Then
The launch of the visual art programme will be at AirSpace on the 18th April 7pm
19th April – 4th May
This is the second part of this year visual art programme to feature at the AirSpace Gallery, this exhibition of contemporary work ranges from sound installations, remote control cameras, installations, and video works. The work will engage the audience through the production of source footage which the artist Alex Pearl will then manipulate into a short film to be run for the duration of the festival. Alongside this work Liz Wroe and Stuart Porter, will be exploring the memories of festivals-gone, through clothing and mementoes.
The irreverant work of Matt Robinson draws it’s influences from the cartoon and comics of japanese manga, advertising imagery, iconography and sybolism. His work may be familiar to visitors to the “Dizzy Heights” exhibition at AirSpace Gallery in 07, and for those who are not yet familiar here’s your chance to become aquainted with one of the hottest talents from the midlands. For the axis festival Matt will be producing large scale images made up of mass media snippets doodles, and photographic imagery, to be displayed at AirSpace and creating an unexpected and utterly engrosing visual feast.
As Like Robinson’s Work, Matthew Hahn’s work uses objects as part of a process of discovery and articulation. Embarking without a concrete direction, he works on influtive response to images and materials. The outcome of these responses are models that have been brought from a sense of abondment and articiality, theme that are unified through conflict and control.
Artist David Knowles will also be displaying work at AirSpace, his work explores the notions of light, time and duration. We discover how light complies photographic information and indeed how this information, when overloaded can reach saturation, a point where too much becomes nothing.
Friday 18 April, AirSpace Gallery, 7:00pm
Tickets: free!
