Twenty of Southampton’s residents agreed to be photographed for a series of full-length, life-sized portraits, which are installed on banners around the newly refurbished Guildhall Square. These minimal images portray each participant suspended within the ceaseless activity of the busy street, secluded within their own space.

[LESS INFO] 53 VIEWS | ADDED 09:57:57 07/03/09
Tim Brennan: English Anxieties explores the archive of Mass Observation (MO). Brennan’s encounter with the MO archive combines an artist’s book, vinyl drawings, original archival material and the re-working of a fascinating account by British explorer and archaeologist T.C. Lethbridge of a concealed enemy presence in Cambridgeshire. Taking descriptions and drawings made by Lethbridge as a starting point, Brennan represents this data in the form of large, colourful maps inspired by the Isotype graphical system developed in the 1930s.

Desiring Necessities

[LESS INFO] 77 VIEWS | ADDED 09:33:32 05/11/09
Curator Ilaria Gianni in conversation with gakllery director Stephen Foster. The exhibition presents twelve emerging international artists who explore past iconic moments in culture. The revolutionary spirit often attributed to historic events in art, film and music can attain near-heroic status, yet only exists through second-hand experience. The artists within Desiring Necessities test the strength and relevance of this desire to ‘live the original’, exploring re-enactment, appropriation and irony, and blurring fact with fiction.

The Jackleg Testament Part I: Jack & Eve is a one-of-a-kind motion picture derived from the crisply styled woodcuts of Kentucky-born Jay Bolotin. Bolotin’s world is meticulously and vividly realised, an evocative hybrid of German expressionism, Brueghel and medieval religious imagery. Jay Bolotin in conversation with JHG Director Stephen Foster.

Geometry Wars presents a new body of work, comprising twenty one paintings and two sculptures. Painted mostly in 'greyscale' and muted tones, Bolivar's palette presents a flipside to the witticism often associated with his paintings, reminding us, in the words of Peter Ustinov, that comedy is simply a funny way of being serious. Juan Bolivar in conversation with JHG Director Stephen Foster.
