EXHIBITION Masaki Fujihata: The Conquest of Imperfection

Masaki Fujihata, Morel’s Panorama, 2003

Tue 23 September 2008, 10.30am – 12.30pm Recommended for AS/A2 and foundation students of Art & Design, Media and Film Studies. £4 per student 158 places

Fri 22 August – Sun 19 October Free

The Conquest of Imperfection is the first major UK exhibition of Japanese media artist Masaki Fujihata's acclaimed interactive work, featuring eight installations created by the artist between 1996 – 2008 including a new work specially created for this exhibition. All the works in the exhibition are characterised by a sense of playfulness, requiring visitors to actively engage with them, and in doing so making them think about how they perceive the world, and even how they understand and experience their own existence. Unreflective Mirror (2005) for example, forces visitors to question their own sense of identity, when they look into a mirror only to find their reflection isn’t present. While his work exhibits an intrinsically Japanese aesthetic, Fujihata also addresses the core issues occupying media artists across the world. He has created pioneering work in all fields of digital media, including computer graphics, interactivity, the Internet, location based and distributed computing, nano technology, data mining, inhabited information spaces, and GPS.

The Art of Documentary

Masaki Fujihata, Unformed Symbols, 2003

This cinema-based workshop will look at the diverse ways in which contemporary artists use film and video to explore notions of documentary, and how their work spans gallery-based exhibition, cinema and broadcast screenings. Esther Johnson examines the opportunities and difficulties facing artist filmmakers working in these areas, in an age which has witnessed increased access to filmmaking equipment and alternative channels of distribution. There will be a varied screening programme of short creative artist documentaries as part of this session. Led by Esther Johnson, artist and lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University.

INSET: Animation as an Educational Tool

C&M DIPLOMA

Wed 12 November 2008, 10.00am – 12.00pm

Sat 22 November, 10.00am – 3.00pm

Recommended for GCSE Art & Design and equivalent. £5 per student 20 places

Recommended for teachers of all disciplines £80 per teacher (lunch and refreshments provided) 10 places

This workshop will look at Cornerhouse’s exhibition of drawings and animated artworks with a discussion about some of the themes and styles explored. Through looking at the works on show, students will apply some of these approaches towards a practical activity, drawing upon their interpretations and experiences. The session will encourage experimentation and the use of different strategies towards drawing and mark making. Students can use their drawings to develop a simple storyboard for a hand-drawn animation for follow up work at school.

This session will introduce teachers to techniques in animation with an emphasis on its application in the classroom. Through hands-on practical experience, educators will gain an understanding of the possibilities of animation as an educational tool, useful for teaching a number of subjects (i.e. a Geography teacher could use interactive animation to demonstrate population movement). This exciting new technique encourages greater class participation and provides a valuable visual aid.

EXHIBITION Interspecies: Artists collaborating with animals Fri 23 January – Sun 29 March 2009 Preview: Thursday 22 January, 6.00pm-9.00pm Free

Free

Catherine Bertola, Verina Gfader, Rachel Goodyear, Margaret Harrison, Melanie Jackson, Naomi Kashiwagi, Ulrike Lienbacher, Guto Nobrega, Dan Perjovschi, and films from Tricky Women Festival 2008. This exhibition presents early and contemporary animation films, linking them to works of drawing as one of the major forms within the visual arts. Drawing is closely associated with ‘process’ and repetition hence intertwined with animation and cinematic modernity. This show explores the point where political and social criticism finds its expression in highly descriptive and meticulously detailed quality. This exhibition comprises work by British and international artists, with a focus on Czech animation films as well as featuring work from Tricky Women, the annual international animation film festival for women artists.

Led by artist Daksha Patel. Daksha has exhibited her drawings, prints and photography at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston, The Central Art Gallery, Ashton and The Courtyard, Hereford.

Led by artist James Dolan. Rachel Goodyear, Girl on Chair, 2008

Can artists work with animals as equals? It has recently been discovered that humans are closer to the higher primates than was previously thought. This exhibition, organised by The Arts Catalyst on the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth brings together a group of artists who actively question the sovereignty of the human species over the all other animal species. Four artists have been commissioned to develop projects with non-human animals. Nicolas Primat, following on from his work with tribes of monkeys in France and Guyana will work on developing video skills with higher apes. Kira O’Reilly will work on sleep and dream research with humans and pigs, Anthony Hall will develop an interactive interspecies communication between the public and zebra fish and Ruth Mclennan will develop her work on eagles by collaborating with falconers in Northumberland.

Also included in the exhibition are Rachel Mayeri’s Primate Cinema which casts human actors in the role of mating non-human primates, Beatriz Da Costa’s PigeonBlog which investigates the military use of homing pigeons and Kathy High’s Embracing Animal which works with former lab rats. Accompanying Interspecies will be series of talks and debates between the artists, writers, scientists and animal welfare experts. Funded by Arts Council England Grants for the Arts.

Ideas & Inspiration: Animals and Art Thu 5 March 2009, 10.00am – 12.30pm Recommended for AS Art & Design and equivalent. £5 per student 20 places

Artists have long used animals for inspiration, from the first recorded drawings in the caves of Chauvert thirty-two thousand years ago right up to the current day. This session will explore how contemporary artists use animals in a diverse way in their artworks taking our Interspecies exhibition as a starting point. The session will include an in-depth tour of the exhibition and an illuminating talk exploring the practices of a variety of related artists work such as Maurizio Cattelan, Tessa Farmer and Mark Dion. Students will then have the opportunity to start making a piece of artwork inspired by one of Andrew Bracey’s pieces from his Freianlage series.

After their relationship comes to a dramatic conclusion, Yella starts a new life, working in a dubious branch of finance. There, she encounters some surreal situations – and perhaps a new love. An ice-cool and mysterious drama.
