Spoken with a Voice of Authority

About

*Screening and Aritst Led Discussion 06 August 18.00 The Director's of FERREIRA PROJECTS_01 are proud to announce Spoken with a Voice of Authority by Jeffery Baker, our current Resident Artist. Over a five-week period Baker has been creating a documentary film charting the history of FERREIRA PROJECTS from it's recent inception through to the present day. The film will challenge and manipulate the viewer's understanding of the Gallery. The documentary film charts the Gallery's meteoric rise in popularity and the massive impact it has had on the art scene of the East End of London throughout its history. It depicts the story of how the space has continually challenged the preconceptions of contemporary art in Britain throughout its development. It will explain how it pushed back the boundaries of British art championing many of the countries most significant artistic movements and their artists in the face of staunch opposition. In addition to constructing a vision of the space's successes it will also present the viewer with a profile of this young gallery's ambitions. FERREIRA PROJECTS_01 was developed as part of FERREIRA PROJECTS' ongoing goal to improve accessibility and participation by involving the viewer in the whole artistic process. It will allow the viewer the rare opportunity of seeing an artist conceive, research and develop their work before viewing the final outcomes at exhibition. The viewer will also be encouraged to engage in conversation with the artist about their work, through a number of different channels. The public programme, which may include artists' talks, workshops and gallery visits, are developed in conjunction with each individual artist during the residency period
