Fourth in the series is:

One Fine Day | Lindall Pearce | Saturday 23rd - Sunday 24th May 11-3pm

“Value Judgements are destructive to our proper business, which is curiosity and awareness.” John Cage

This selection of current work follows experiments with line, geometry and colour, borne out of curiosity and observation. A practice that is about finding pleasure in a sharp and pointed world. Sometimes succeeding.

The work is of something, generated from an inner compulsion to encapsulate an experience, a thought, an event.  So although the work is in one sense representational, in its finished state it is essentially abstract. The original subject is still decipherable by me but during the making this becomes layered or encoded in the object.  Likewise I prefer to use material that is casual, light industrial or found, that may have a resonance or history.  The mundane and the exotic receiving equal treatment.

Second show in the series is:

Under the Radar | Gill Gregory | Saturday 9th - Sunday 10th May | 11-3pm

‘Art for me is a way of thinking – a way of thinking about one’s experience, a way of thinking about the world – and therefore unavoidably discursive.’        Victor Burgin, Parallel Texts

Gill Gregory thinks about things that might be ‘behind the surface’, and the conductivity of ideas. 

Visual references in her studio include photographs of establishments for research and scientific experiment.  Her materials come from the world of industry, sheet metal and board and items discarded from mechanical processes.

The gallery at Angelika Studios at times serves as a thinking space; it does this in a quiet unobtrusive way.  Gregory reflects on what connections there might be to generate ideas. 

‘Under the Radar’ concentrates on the route between the studio and the space for thinking, a place of potentiality, a kind of receiving station, looking at conditions for discovery and alertness to possible signs.

First in the series is:

Scene | Ann Harris

Who knows what the songs of the birds do to the earth during the Spring 

- Jonas Meekas

Ann Harris has been walking alone and with others for many years. In her recent art practice she has been video recording her walks, and places on the walks, to capture the soundscape as well the landscape. The walks are centred in Cookham, Berkshire. Not the sites chosen by Sir Stanley Spencer to depict his biblical stories, but the back lanes and byways in the traditional English village that relate to settlements in many parts of the world. She also broadcasts some of her walks live via Persicope.tv. Inspired by the film poetry of Jonas Mekas, Harris uses technology to allow the viewer wherever they may be in the world, to share the soundscape and some of the visual details of the walk in real time or as captured on video. 

Someone asked “does anything happen in the videos?” Well yes and no. The videos are not edited stories or nature documentary programmes. They are about awareness of the environment and paying attention to the subtle as well as more obvious changes in sound, colour and movement. In a world of fast information they are about slowing down to a human scale. When we stop to look and listen, the sights and sounds of the natural world blend with those of the manmade environment to produce a unique symphony of time and place. Like John Cage’s composition 4.33, they are an invitation to pay exquisite attention to our surroundings.
