There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception
Aldous Huxley

i swore i sore is a group exhibition of new work by artists from the MA at Wimbledon College of Art. In different ways and across disciplines, the exhibition reveals a shared approach to practice characterised by experimentation, risk-taking and open enquiry.

i swore i sore comprises two separate but related exhibitions across two weeks. It takes place at an exciting stage part-way through the MA programme, and reflects a collective desire to constantly question, reevaluate and refine artistic practice.







Moments of Repetition
Jill Townsley

This exhibition by Jill Townsley, is a culmination of work carried out over the last four years, as part of her research into the role of repetition in the process of art production. Each of the artworks explore ideas of repetitive labour and its significance to the art object. The exhibition consists of sculpture, video, film drawing and installation.

All the works are an accumulation of hundreds of hours of repeated actions. Mind bogglingly tedious and insignificant actions repeated thousand of times. Actions such as: looping wire, scribbling, gluing polystyrene beads or tying 3 spoons together with a rubber band 3,091 times.

Some work exists only in the moment, temporally changing, a culmination of moments, repeating over time. Some works are a result of thousands of unstable repeated units, each precariously balanced on one another to make a whole sculpture. Other works are only offered as a record of process, exploring time in a virtual or parallel timeframe.

The body of work describes the logical application of repetitive process, illogically extended beyond the usual limits, producing work that sometimes in the end destroys itself, while still being generative of new and often surprisingly beautiful moments.








Incidentally
Yvonne Lammerich & Joan Key

Preview: Thursday 8th April 2010 6.30-9.00pm
Exhibition Dates 09.04.10-09.05.10

Open Friday -Sunday 1.00-6.00pm

Both Joan Key and Yvonne Lammerich present encounters that persist as live and resonant, accentuating viewing as incident. Key’s paintings “link abstract form and graphic notation to explore ways in which the picture can be viewed as an event”. Through installation and painting, Lammerich explores the gaps and discrepancies between the real and the apparent.

Joan Key lives and works in London. Recent group exhibitions include ‘Travelogue’, One in the Other, London (2008); ‘The Walls in Three Places’, White Nave Trust, Charlton Shopping Centre, Dover (2008).

Key also develops performances and compositions that explore parallels between the visual and sound. Recent projects include ‘Performance for Tania Chen’, performed by Tania Chen, Café Oto, London, (2009); ‘On Instructions from MD’, a composition for six performers, commissioned and performed by Apartment House for ‘Sound Waves Festival’, organised by BMIC, Brighton Pavilion Theatre (2008).

Yvonne Lammerich lives and works in Toronto. Current projects include ‘DIYS’, a proposal for a virtual museum (2009). Recent exhibitions include ‘Belief’, Diaz Contemporary, Toronto, (solo, 2008); ‘Abitation’, Trianon Gallery, Lethbridge, Alberta (collaboration with Ian Carr-Harris, 2008).

‘Incidentally’ is curated by Sotiris Kyriacou.
