Yang Xu: 100 Carrot Diamond - ArtWorks Project Space

Achievements

Tam Joseph - Blackhorse Lane Open Studios

Kenneth Winterschladen - ArtWorks Open Residency

Graham Crowley resigned form the board and chair in January after 12 years of dedicated service to BAGT and the studio artists. We cannot thank him enough for the tremendous help and time he committed to the development of BAGT.

BAGT welcomed two new trustees in the first quarter of the year. In January, Leila Hasham, Deputy Director, Forma Arts & Media. In March, Rupert Maude, Retired Chartered Surveyor. Leila and Rupert are strong additions to BAGT and the board looks forward to working with them.

Projects and activities for the year were adversely affected by the covid pandemic post March. Eight were completed that included Virtual open studios, exhibitions and professional development.

Artists contributed 115 days of voluntary time to these activities, at a value of £13,677 - a decrease of 46.6 days. Actual audience attendance increased by 105% on expected, taking account of the open studios and ArtWorks Open virtual audiences. There were a total of 109 new products created over 19 projects. Gross funds from projects decreased by 41% on the total for last year.

PROJECTS 2020

Achievements

Julie Caves - Professional Development ArtWorks Project Space

The painting was installed to be viewed through the window from the street, and hung in folds, like curtains.

Achievements

Helen Maurer - Professional Development ArtWorks Project Space

Achievements

Steph Huang ArtWorks Open Artist in Residence ArtWorks Project Space

Steph Huang was one of two artists to win the 2019 ArtWorks Open 6-week residency. The residency culminated in an exhibition of a new body of works made in response to her 6-week residency.

Achievements

Kenneth Winterschladen - ArtWorks Open Artist in Residence ArtWorks Project Space

Kenneth Winterschladen was the 2019 prize winner of a 6-week residency. He used the residency to continue developing work based on his preoccupation with sensory and emotional memory of lived and imaginary experiences.

At the end of the residency Kenneth produced a pop up exhibition of the work he produced.

Achievements

Luigi Rizzo - Professional Development ArtWorks Project Space

Blackhorse Lane sound and film artist Luigi Rizzo used the space for developing a project proposal for a dance film.

Achievements

Open Studios Blackhorse Lane Studios E17

It was not possible to hold Open Studios this year due to the pandemic. The studio group devised a virtual version of the annual event that was co-ordinated by artists Julie Caves and Diane Chappalley. Each of the 28 studio artists held week-long open studios on instagram. Many chose to hold live events such as talks, discussions and performance. The event was considered a great success. But, there is nothing better than meeting the artists in person in their working environment!

Achievements

100 Carat Diamond - Yang Xu ArtWorks Project Space

Yang Xu was one of the 2019 ArtWorks Open Prize winners. Her show 100 Carat Diamond took place in March 2020.

Overrun with mysteries and multiple readings and begging numerous questions, 100 Carat Diamond brought together recent works mirroring reflections on Xu’s identity constructed through her performative paintings and photographic prints.

Xu uses her gestures and female body to explore the realms of sexuality and desire, with her playful brushstrokes on linen she creates a fictional wonderland, and through textured photographic realism Xu allows us to peer into her world of fantasies.

Xu explores the construction of identity through a contemporary female gaze. Drawing on art history, fashion, fairytale and drag performance she pushes beyond the canvas and behind the mask to question what is real and what is fake and what is woman in her fantasy world. Inspired by the French Rococo art movement’s elaborate and extravagant style, Xu believes that rococo at the end carried void, lavish and corrupt privilege of power and female stereotypes, however she uses her own contemporary creations to celebrate the exuberance, surprise and drama that rococo originally sought to express.

Achievements

ArtWorks Open selected by Alex Schady and Michelle Williams Gamaker ArtWorks Project Space

Open ArtWorks in times of Lockdown

From a deadly pandemic to a global movement for racial justice, the year since I last helped select work for ArtWorks Open has been world changing. Closer to home, in London we have seen countless exhibitions cancelled or postponed and a worrying number of longstanding spaces have shut.

In spite of all this the number of submissions this year rose to 566. I want to thank all the artists for submitting such ambitious and inspiring work under these challenging circumstances. It was a privilege to spend time reacquainting myself with some familiar works and getting to know many more that were new to me. There could have been many wonderful exhibitions put together from these submissions and our final selection is not a judgement of value, but rather the result of a subjective discussion between me and fellow selector Michelle Williams Gamaker. Each submission was considered alone and our discussions focused on the individual merits of each work. You hope that the works being put together will produce a coherent exhibition but it is only at the end of

the process and with some trepidation that you bring the works together onto one screen.

Faced with the bleak reality of the current situation it is comforting that much of the work has a sense of hope and mystery. If I close my eyes, I can see a horse sat peacefully on what appears to be a giant marshmallow swirl; a naked figure asleep on a bed, her head concealed by the large book she had been reading, a cat sleeping by her side; a delicately drawn ghostly apparition hovers above a wood, eyes open and looking down kindly; discarded shoes that may have belonged to a supernatural being. Magical forces are at work, but the magic at play is not a retreat into fantasy or a whimsical denial of political realities. These works challenge Eurocentric, patriarchal forms of knowledge. Given how social distancing has limited physical contacts, it is perhaps not surprising that many of the works in the show foreground their seductive materiality. I can see imprints of a maker’s hand pressed into the form of a clay fence; a large inflatable that seems about to burst as it is squashed in place with a wooden vice; a row of ceramic tassels dangle below an exuberantly painted tooth. These physical properties joyfully assert the physicality of the encounter between artist and material.

The show itself will have limited public access this year as lockdown measures are currently in place. There will be no private view to fill the gallery with visitors and for most, the show will be experienced digitally. Under these conditions it is tempting to ask if the effort of delivering and installing the works was worth it. Might a virtual model of the show have been just as effective? However the events of the last few months have left many with a profound yearning for real human contact. The coming together of

Achievements

ArtWorks Open selected by Alex Schady and Michelle Williams Gamaker ArtWorks Project Space

these works is an affirmation of the physical encounter. Only by joining forces can we create new forms of knowledge with which to resist the current global crisis. The show is being installed with the same care and attention shown by Mark Wainwright at every previous ArtWorks Open. As they are arranged, the works impinge on one another, provoking a silent conversation between the artists, and as a result new meanings and ideas will be created.

I don’t like to think of this exhibition languishing without a physical audience. In the film Toy Story Woody and the other toys come to life only after their child has left the room. I like to imagine the gallery empty of people, but filled with conversations, as away from prying eyes the works reach out for one another and discuss their dreams, hopes and desires.

(A massive thank you to Emma Talbot, who first asked me to be a selector at last year’s show, to Michelle Williams Gamaker for joining me in the selecting this year and to Mark Wainwright for overseeing the whole process so beautifully, mindful of the needs and wellbeing of all the artists who submitted work this year.)
