past exhibitions
5 november to 5 december 2009 ursula kelly:
intersecting, connecting, manifesting


This is the first solo show from Ursula Kelly, who graduated from Camberwell College of Art & Design in 2008. The exhibition is the culmination of the Circle Line award.

Ursula’s work addresses issues of social and personal identity, relationships, memories and consumerism. Through building relationships with various people, the work aims to reflect the richness of daily life. The exhibition comprises a video, book and installation of prints. The video is a development of the work started during the artist’s MA course, whilst the book and prints are a result of new research carried out in a village in the West of Ireland – Killaloe, County Clare. As part of the Circle Line Award, Ursula developed and delivered a series of workshops with young people and adults, and some of the resulting artwork is also on show.

Circle Line is a partnership between Artquest, University of the Arts London (UAL) Widening Participation & Progression and four established London visual arts organisations: ACAVA studios, Cockpit Arts, London Print Studio and London Printworks Trust. The award was initiated in 2008 as a unique opportunity for recent art graduates of UAL. As well as offering a studio and support grant for one year, the purpose of the award was to allow young artists to develop their practice and professional development in a ‘real-world’ context by receiving training, mentoring and an exhibition opportunity.

Darwin's Dreams - The Roots of Coincidence

Coincidence and fantasy intersect in this exhibition of work from Beauvais Lyons, Ruth Marten and Peiter Klúcik.

the print that turned the world?
a unique exhibition inspired by the role that printmaking played in changing attitudes towards slavery and influencing the abolition of slavery.

in 1793 abolitionist campaigners published the now famous image of the Brookes Slave Ship. This graphic representation of the crowded conditions of the slave trade profoundly affected public opinion, which swung behind the movement to end slavery.

the print that turned the world?
exhibition celebrates the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in Britain, and the part that william wilberforce played in it, as well as protesting against the continuation of slavery today.

prints I've made... desi stylee
a vibrant collection of prints by artist chila burman

the exhibition brings together a sumptuous visual sensation of works which explore the experiences and aesthetics of Asian femininity. Since the mid 80s Chila has made paintings, installations, photography, video and film as well as many print works, many of which were created at londonprintstudio.

the exhibition includes Chila's traditional and digital printmaking, as well as some of her collages and video works and brand new commissioned pieces, incorporating everything from ice-cream cones to comic books, bhindis to bras. Exploring issues of gender and race through the aesthetics of collecting accessories, lingerie, flowers, hair-pieces, jewellery and make up allow Chila to play with the formal properties of her chosen materials, working with repetition and patterns as well as with their allusions to the hyper-feminine, the sexual and the everyday.

filament:

andrew carnie, sandra crisp, james faure walker and andrea jesperson

filament is an exhibition of newly commisioned digital prints made at londonprintstudio by four internationally recognised artists. All the artists have created works by integrating computer processes with printmaking techniques.

The title filament alludes to a thread through which electricity is converted into light. 'I think about digital images as created via light and suspended into pixels...the idea that the electronic image is mutable, temporary and can just 'disappear'' artist, sandra crisp

filament is being held at londonprintstudio in collaboration with ACAVA and Paddington Development Trust, and is linked to a series of exhibitions and events in and around West London during September. The season explores and presents work by artists primarily using digital , electronic and new media techniques and is part of a wider debate on the contribution artists make to the creative industries, regeneration and economic growth.

diagnosis of a knot, a lump, an itch and scratch
a collaborative installation of monumentally sized prints by jennifer angus and john hitchcock

londonprintstudio’s new exhibition, diagnosis: a knot, a lump, an itch and a scratch takes a controversial look at world health issues and explores our attitudes to the spread of infections and the connections between social class and disease throughout the world. These themes are particularly resonant within the current threats of a bird flu pandemic.

In new large-scale artworks made especially for londonprintstudio gallery, collaborative artists Jennifer Angus and John Hitchcock present new works which explore themes of identity, cross cultural interaction, social class and the spread of germs and disease. The prints are beautiful and enticing, made up of intricate screenprinted layers of pattern and colour. But on closer inspection the designs are made up of viruses and diseased cells, immobilizing the deadly nature of Avian flu, BSE, cancer and HIV/AIDS and referring to our often complacent attitude towards the spread of disease until it comes closer to home.
