Book Launch: Transports of Delight
Saturday 25 May 2024, 4
- 6pm
The presentation will be followed by tea and cakes.
Following the exhibition Transports
of Delight in 2022 the gallery is launching this fully illustrated
book which documents the exhibition and further investigates
themes surrounding the Wardian case, the sealed glass-box
ecosphere invented by Dr Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward in which
plants could survive simply with the provision of daylight.
The book details how artists’ work interrogated connecting
themes about the transport of plants around the world from
garden plants to cash crops like coffee and rubber and the
fragile systems associated with life itself. Describing
the impact of the Wardian case on the transformation of
global economies and environments, the book also explores
implications for how we might survive future ecological
change.
Contributing writers are Edward Chell, artist and curator;
Luke Keogh author of The Wardian Case: How a Simple
Box Moved Plants and Changed the World (Chicago
University Press 2020); Ros Gray, researcher and Programme
Leader, MA Art & Ecology, Goldsmiths, University of
London and Bergit Arends, curator of contemporary art, museum
professional and academic.
The book is supported by University for the Creative Arts
Neville Gabie FACTORY WORKS
A vinyl album and film featuring construction workers of Manchester’s Aviva Studios by artist Neville Gabie with musician Nabihah Iqbal and film-maker Mark Thomas
Wednesday 22 and Thursday 23 May 2024, 6 to 9pm.
Booking is essential: please contact danielle@daniellearnaud.com
Danielle Arnaud gallery is thrilled to present FACTORY
WORKS, commissioned and produced by Factory International
and launched at Aviva Studios in Manchester in September
2023.
FACTORY WORKS is an audio artwork and film created by artist
Neville Gabie working in collaboration with musician and
DJ Nabihah Iqbal, film-maker Mark Thomas, Design Agency
North and the construction workers and manufacturers involved
in the creation of Aviva Studios, a landmark new cultural
space in Manchester programmed and operated by Factory International.
Known for creating work responsive to people and place in
moments of change, Neville Gabie was commissioned by Factory
International in 2019 to develop a project that would celebrate
the construction workers, concrete pourers, steel workers
and others involved in the creation of Aviva Studios. FACTORY
WORKS was made over a two-year period (spring 2020 - winter
2021) and focuses on the core materials that form the infrastructure
of the building, such as steel, concrete, cloth, rubber,
wood and glass. The audio includes industrial sounds and
snippets of conversations with workers at five factories
involved in the manufacture of these materials as well as
those working on the construction site, all underpinned
with original electronic music from Nabihah Iqbal.
In addition, FACTORY WORKS features a short film created
by Neville Gabie in collaboration with Mark Thomas of film
studio Soup Collective. The film is a celebration of the
people, sound and skill involved in the creation of Aviva
Studios and offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the build.
The film features the whole workforce involved in the creation
of the record.
1,500 copies of a limited edition vinyl record were produced
with each album sleeve entirely unique in a concept conceived
design agency North with thanks to Peter Saville and Neville
Gabie. Every worker involved in the construction of Aviva
Studios, from those working in factories to the on-site
team received a copy of the unique artwork and record.
Throughout these two evenings there will be the chance to
hear the vinyl, see the film as well as a selection of album
sleeves.
The organisations involved in the creation of FACTORY
WORKS are:
• William Hare Group – Bury, Greater Manchester (Steel)
• Farrat – Altrincham, Greater Manchester (Rubber)
• Gariff – Trafford Park, Greater Manchester (Wood)
• Explore Manufacturing – Nottinghamshire (Concrete)
• J&C Joel – Sowerby Bridge, West Yorkshire (Cloth)
• Laing O’Rourke – led the construction of Aviva Studios
• Factory International – runs and operates Aviva Studios
The FACTORY WORKS album and short film are available to
stream for free at factoryinternational.org/factoryworks
The limited-edition record is available to purchase online

Neville Gabie (born Johannesburg South
Africa, MA, Royal College of Art, London, 1988.)
Neville Gabie has an international reputation for his extensive
commissioned projects developed over the last thirty years.
Working in a range of media, often in collaboration with
scientists, academics, musicians and members of the public,
his practice evolves through a sustained relationship ‘place’
landscapes [most often urban] and communities of people.
Much of his practice was borne out of his experience of
initiating and co-curating Up in the air [Liverpool 2000-05]
in a city centre tower block, with artists Leo Fitzmaurice
and Kelly Large, conceived whilst he was MOMART Artist in
Residence at Tate Liverpool. The success of that project
and the experience of working directly with the residents
over those five years, had a direct influence on his future
practice.
He has worked on international Arts Council and British
Council residencies in China [Vitamincreativespace] and
Australia [IASKA] Halley Research Station Antarctica, with
the British Antarctic Survey as well as a Leverhulme funded
residency with Cabot Institute Bristol University. He was
also artist in residence for two years during the construction
of the Olympic Park in London funded by the Olympic Delivery
Authority.

During Grimes' 2018 Bridget Riley Fellowship at the Brirtish School at Rome she segued from thieving Lorenzetti tartans and cartoon detail from Etruscan paintings, to the appropriation of neorealist films - mis-remembered, imitated and low tech re-enacted: a physical drawing of herself captured oni-phone.
Tony Grisoni worked in many different
areas of filmmaking before concentrating on screenwriting.
QUEEN OF HEARTS, 1989 was his award winning first feature
directed by Jon Amiel. He has worked closely with a number
of directors since, including Michael Winterbottom, John

route from Pakistan/Afghan border, through Iran and Turkey
to Europe with the director Michael Winterbottom. The resulting
film, IN THIS WORLD, won the 2002 Berlinale Golden Bear.
Other award winning film and TV includes THE UNLOVED, 2009,
Samantha Morton's directorial debut, BAFTA - Best TV Single
Drama.RED RIDING, 2009 adapted from the David Peace Yorkshire
Noirnovels. 'Red Riding is a deeper pool than The Godfather,

Neville Gabie in conversation with Mark Dunhill
Saturday 14 October 2023,
4 - 6pm
It will be followed by tea and cakes!
Booking required: please contact danielle@daniellearnaud.com
Danielle Arnaud gallery is pleased to present Neville Gabie in conversation with the artist and educator Mark Dunhill.
As practising artists and at times lecturers working
together, Mark's familiarity with my work stretching back
over more than two decades, is as intimate as it gets. Equally,
as someone who has always admired and enjoyed Mark's creativity
and wonderful collaborations with partner Tamiko, I am sure
our conversation will be engaging, revealing, insightful
and I hope, entertaining. I imagine our conversation will
touch on many bodies of work, some of which are visible
in the exhibition, others, which might have been the inspiration.
Neville Gabie
Neville’s persistent drive to stretch the physical,
material, social, and aesthetic possibilities of the projects
he engages with, together with the breadth of his exceptional
practice, encompassing sculpture, performance, sound, publications,
photography, and social interventions makes him one of the
most inventive and engaging contemporary artists I know.
In this conversation, I look forward to exploring how his
background in South Africa and other early influences continue
to motivate and inform his art practice, and the wide range
of contexts he has found himself working in. Mark Dunhill
Neville Gabie (born in Johannesburg, South Africa) has an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London 1986/88. His work is included in Tate Gallery, Arts Council Collections and The Olympic Museum, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Working in a range of media from sculpture to film and photography Neville Gabie's practice is frequently inspired by a response to specific locations or situations. Often developed over a sustained period of involvement with site, local community groups and other creative and academic professionals, his projects value collaboration as key to their success. From highly urbanised to distantly remote locations, his work is a response to the vulnerability of place. His interest is in establishing a working relationship within a particular community as a means of considering its physical, cultural, or emotional geography.
Mark Dunhill is an artist and educator based in London. Graduating with an MA in Sculpture from the RCA in 1977, Mark participated in solo and group exhibitions in private and public galleries including, the Felicity Samuel Gallery, London, New Art Centre Roche Court, Tate Britain, Arnolfini Bristol. Working in collaboration with Tamiko O'Brien since 1998, Dunhill and O'Brien have exhibited widely in the UK and abroad and participated in residencies in Italy, Netherlands, Germany and Japan. Recent and current exhibitions include a solo show at postROOM, London, 'Duologues with 4 artist duo's at the CUT, Halesworth, Suffolk and 'Reverse Homesickness' with Kristpas Ancans, curated by Corina L Apostol at Das Weiss Haus, Vienna. Between 2008 and 2017 Mark was a Dean of Academic Programmes at Central Saint Martins, and prior to this was Head of the School of Fine Art at University of the West of England in Bristol, having taught Sculpture, Fine art and Art in Context and since 1986.
He was Visiting Professor at Estonia Academy of Art between 2020 and 2021. Currently Mark is a trustee of the Kenneth Armitage Foundation and NewPlatform.art

Katharine Fry When
I'm with you and The Fur Chest: In conversation with
Emily Steer
Thursday 1 June 2023 6 - 9pm
Booking required: please contact
danielle@daniellearnaud.com
Danielle Arnaud Gallery is pleased to announce a screening of Katharine Fry’s 2022 film, When I’m with you, which will start promptly at 6.30pm and will be followed by a launch presentation of her new film The Fur Chest and an in-conversation between the artist and arts journalist and editor, Emily Steer.
When I'm with you fuses live action and animation as four women struggle against normative femininity to find their 'true' bodies in a subversive domestic psychodrama set in a doll's house.
Margot has been waiting in her house for 40 years. Her waiting morphs into desperate attention seeking. But she does not wait alone. Marie is becoming. Malleable, she tries to fit, slipping through her body and sliding around corners, picking up cues of who and how to be. Marjorie shines effortlessly. Her dream life, her golden exterior, her pretty performance, prove impossible and impermanent. Mother Flower is everything, the beginning and the end. Hers is a body of pure bounty, longed for, nourishing, sheltering. The four women are joined by a chorus of body parts, hands and tongues, mouths and babies. Across grandiose performances, staged death scenes, fledgling steps and displays of fertility and futility, as they reveal how hard it is to be in a body, to be a body.
When I'm with you was voted one of the best films of 2022 in Sight and Sound's annual poll.
The Fur Chest plays out the relationship between a bedridden daughter and caregiving mother over three generations in a one-room dwelling. Whether each daughter is actually ill, beset by a phantom illness, or simply subject to her mother's regimes of control is open to shifting interpretation. Their focus is on the daughter's feet as a metaphor for developing or restricting autonomy. Shot on location in the almshouses of the Museum of the Home, objects from the Museum's collections will be subverted or rendered as surreal symbols to reveal the psychological and emotional state of each mother-daughter pair.
Katharine Fry is a London-based artist working from performance into video. Her work is exhibited nationally and internationally, including: Barbican Centre and Birbeck Institute of Moving Image (2022); Focal Point Gallery, Southend (2021), Ann Arbor Film Festival, Michigan, USA (2022, 2019); Visions in the Nunnery, London (2018); Terror Has No Shape, Camden Arts Centre, London (2018), Alchemy Film Festival, Hawick, Scotland (2018), Oriel Davies Open, Newtown, Wales, (2018); and The Modern Language Experiment, Folkestone Triennial, (2017). Recent prizes include: Hauser & Wirth First Prize and Soho House Mentoring Prize for Black Swan Open (2018) and First Prize for Creekside Open (2017).
Solo exhibitions include Please call me home at Danielle Arnaud Gallery, London (2021); Addressing the Self: Decoys and Consolations at new media art space, Tennessee, USA (2020), with a forthcoming solo exhibition at Savremena Galerija, Subotics, Serbia (2024). Fry completed her practice-based PhD House Arrest at Goldsmiths. She lectures at the Freud Museum, Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths. She is currently developing a new film The Fur Chest with the Museum of the Home, London, as part of a Fellowship at Loughborough University.
Emily Steer was online editor and then editor of pioneering art magazine Elephant for eight years, and has written for titles including AnOther, BBC Culture, British Journal of Photography, Financial Times, Frieze, Vice and Wallpaper*.

A gloriously dripping clutch of miniatures,
like glimpses through keyholes into unknowable place-times
where people pursue curious tasks and succumb to occult
intensities. —Sally O’Reilly
The wonder of water is alive in these pages, not in raging
storms or deep sea expeditions, but in a quotidian magical
realism, where gardens become floatation tanks and paragraphs
are wet words to swallow. —Astrida Neimanis
An opera to life told through the myriad of small gestures
made by humans and many others. This writing captures the
beauty of aimlessness that leads to the making of an enchanting
world. —Ursula Biemann

Katharine Fry When
I'm with you : In conversation with Gareth Evans
Tuesday 28 June 2022 6-8pm
Wednesday 28 September - 6 to 8pmKatharine
Fry When I'm with you 2022 still from HD video
Danielle Arnaud Gallery is pleased to announce a screening of Katharine Fry’s new film When I’m with you followed by a conversation between the artist and London based writer, editor, film and event producer, Gareth Evans.
When I’m with you fuses live action and animation in a subversive fairy tale of femininity. Margot has been waiting in her house for 40 years. Her waiting morphs into desperate attention seeking. But she does not wait alone. Marie is becoming. Malleable, she tries to fit, slipping through her body and sliding around corners, picking up cues of who and how to be. Marjorie shines effortlessly. Her dream life, her golden exterior, her pretty performance, prove impossible and impermanent. Mother Flower is everything, the beginning and the end. Hers is a body of pure bounty, longed for, nourishing, sheltering. The four women are joined by a chorus of body parts, hands and tongues, mouths and babies, across grandiose performances, staged death scenes, fledgling steps and displays of fertility and futility, as they reveal how hard it is to be in a body, to be a body.
Katharine Fry is a London-based artist working from performance into video. Her work is exhibited nationally and internationally, including: Ann Arbor Film Festival, Michigan, USA (2022, 2019); Visions in the Nunnery, London (2018); Terror Has No Shape, Camden Arts Centre, London (2018), Alchemy Film Festival, Hawick, Scotland (2018), Oriel Davies Open, Newtown, Wales, (2018); and The Modern Language Experiment, Folkestone Triennial, (2017). Recent prizes include: Hauser & Wirth First Prize and Soho House Mentoring Prize for Black Swan Open (2018) and First Prize for Creekside Open (2017).
Solo exhibitions include Please call me home at Danielle Arnaud Gallery, London (2021); Addressing the Self: Decoys and Consolations at new media art space, Tennessee, USA (2020), with a forthcoming solo exhibition at Nova Galerija Vizuelnih Umetnosti (NGVU) Belgrade, Serbia (2023). Fry completed her practice-based PhD house arrest at Goldsmiths and lectures at the Freud Museum, Central Saint Martins and Goldsmiths.
Gareth Evans is a London-based writer, editor, film and event producer and Whitechapel Gallery Adjunct Moving Image Curator. He hosts the LRB Screen at Home programme. Among recent commissions is the monograph essay for Radiohead’s KID A MNESIA catalogue.

Suki Chan CONSCIOUS
: In conversation with Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin
Monday 9 May 2022 6-8pm
Suki Chan FOG IN MY
HEAD film still 2022
Join Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin and Suki Chan as they discuss the matter of consciousness alongside Suki’s exhibition, CONSCIOUS.
Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin works on the interface of philosophy, theology and art with a particular interest in the way art articulates meaning about the world and the human condition.
Suki Chan is a London based artist and film director. Her films take audiences on an immersive journey, and shine a light on subjects that are under-represented across the human condition: from dementia, sight-loss, identity to belonging. Chan's passion is to change perception and build empathy for other people’s realities.
Chan’s current project, CONSCIOUS, explores the future of our individual and collective consciousness, weaving a narrative through the secret lives of bees, dementia and science. The multi-platform project brings together the diverse, subjective perspectives of scientists and ordinary people, whose stories unwrap layers of thinking and preconceptions about individual and collective consciousness. In exploring memory loss Chan worked with individuals living with dementia, looking at how this can destabilise the understanding of surroundings and the present.

Andrea Gregson
AFTER (life of) OBJECTS : In conversation with Becky
Shaw
Saturday 11 December 2021 4pm
Alongside AFTER (life of) OBJECTS the gallery will host an in-conversation between Andrea Gregson and Becky Shaw. Gregson and Shaw will reflect on the work in AFTER (life of) OBJECTS and explore key mutual interests including artistic processes of discovery, casting, reproduction and evolution, surface and interiority, materiality, time, labour and site.
Becky Shaw is an artist and Reader in Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University.
Andrea Gregson is an artist, curator and Senior Lecturer in Fine Art at University for the Creative Arts, Farnham. From 1995-97 she received a Postgraduate Fellowship at the Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw, Poland and in 1998, an MA Fine Art, at Manchester Metropolitan University. In 2016, she was artist in residence at the University of East London supported by the Henry Moore Foundation. She has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad including Danielle Arnaud, London (2021); Grizedale Gallery, Cumbria (2019); Gaesteatelier Hollufgard, Fyn, Denmark (2017); Romantso, Athens, Greece (2017); Patrick Heide, London (2014); Concrete, Hayward Gallery (2012); Torrance Art Museum, Los Angeles, USA (2011); The Garden Museum, London (2009); Galerie Shuster, Berlin, Germany (2009); Galeria XX1, Warsaw, Poland (2005); Centre for Contemporary Art, Zamek Ujazdowski, Warsaw, Poland (2000). Curatorial projects include Gustav Metzger’s, Facing Extinction Conference and Exhibition, James Hockey Gallery, UCA Farnham, Herbert Read Gallery (2014) and Remember Nature (2015/2022); Workshop of Hereafter, Blyth Gallery, London (2009); The Miniature World Show, Jerwood Space (2006).
AFTER (life of) OBJECTS is a solo show by Andrea Gregson which brings together new, recent and unseen works and includes sculpture, a ceramic installation and drawing. Using experimental forms of metal casting and re-appropriating found material fragments, the work draws upon post-industrial sites encountered by the artist. The exhibition considers landscape as a relic of past production and the connections and conflicts between industry and nature. Gregson has visited sites including Thames Embankment, Grizedale Forest in Cumbria, Heysham Barrows in Lancashire, and Glen Nevis in Scotland, locating objects on the fringes of the natural and industrial. The works on show reflect upon the relics and residues left behind by human activity, exploiting sculptural casting processes with the potential to radically transform materials.
Gleaning traces of material history, the works on show mediates the death of objects with structures in nature and human artifice. It builds on Gregson’s research into bucolic landscapes and the inter-relationship between post-industrial, domestic and geological sites, drawing attention to changing material states and the Anthropocene.
Sarah Dobai The
Donkey Field : In conversation with Lucy Reynolds
Saturday 13 November 2021 4pm
For the closing day of The Donkey Field the gallery will host an in-conversation between Sarah Dobai and Lucy Reynolds. The two speakers will discuss how the process of re-enacting and reframing passages from Robert Bresson’s Au Hasard Balthazar allowed the artist to approach a charged historical legacy.
The event will explore how the film weaves a link between the text, which gives an account of persecution experienced in Budapest in 1944, and reconstructed passages from Bresson’s story about the victimisation of innocents. As Reynolds writes in the text that accompanies the show; ‘the rolling intertitles purposely create a connection between image and text which is inferred and suggestive rather than direct.’ The in-conversation will include discussion of how this interplay between image and text operates, and what informed the artist’s decision to exclude dates and place names in preference for initials and substitutions.
This event is the last opportunity to see the film and several new photographic works which depicts places whose pastoral qualities become shadowed by their association with dark episodes of the last century.
The central feature of the exhibition is the single screen film The Donkey Field. The film builds on the connection between an antisemitic attack in 1944 on a young boy on a piece of common land known locally as ‘the donkey field’ and the story of the persecution of Marie and Balthazar, the donkey in Au Hasard Balthazar (Robert Bresson, 1966).
The film features a text, which gives an account of Budapest in the last year of the war, seen from the point of view of a child, and scenes based on Bresson’s allegorical story about the scapegoating of blameless subjects. Partly shot on the streets of present-day Budapest, under a regime criticised for its anti-immigrant policies and harsh treatment of refugees, The Donkey Field underlines the relevance of the boy’s story to other, more recent stories of displacement and persecution.
The Donkey Field will be touring to BALTIC in Gateshead, Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, CAST in Cornwall, Merz Barn in Langdale, Ambleside as well as Glassyard in Budapest.
Polly Gould Antarctica,
Art and Archive book Launch
Friday 24 September 2021 6 - 8pm
Polly Gould Antarctica,
Art, and Archive 2020 24.6 x 18.9 cm
Bloomsbury Publishing
We will be launching Polly Gould's new book Antarctica, Art, and Archive at the gallery.
Gould's book explores Antarctica at the begginning of the 20th Century, the last frontier of Victorian imperialism, a territory subjected to heroic and sometimes desperate exploration, juxtaposed with Antarctica now, at the start of the 21st century, the vulnerable landscape behind iconic images of climate change. Gould takes the reader on a journey to the South Pole, through art and archive. Through the life and tragic death of Edward Wilson, polar explorer, doctor, scientist and artist, and his watercolours, and through the work of a pioneer of modern anthropology and opponent of scientific racism, Franz Boas, Gould exposes the legacies of colonialism and racial and gendered identities of the time. Gould argues that the medium matters and that the practices of observation in art, anthropology and science determine how we see and what we know. Stories of exploration and open-air watercolour painting, of weather experiments and ethnographic collecting, of evolution and extinction, are interwoven to raise important questions for our times. Revisiting Antarctica through the archive becomes the urgent endeavour to imagine an inhabitable planetary future.

The Conversation Artist
Holly Davey in discussion with independent curator Tessa
Jackson
Wednesday 26 June 2019 6.30-8.30pm
Holly Davey The Conversation Plywood,
perspex and acetate projection Studio research 2019
A buff foolscap folder contains photographs, scraps of paper,
postcards, a paper bag, an exhibition catalogue and other
mementos—they trace a trip from Pasadena to Sacramento taken
in 1972. By setting aside personal souvenirs like these,
we hope to form a sense of ourselves, to create an impression
of normality and staged familiarity that makes us feel complete.
But this ephemera forms an incomplete archive: in between
are gaps, pauses. The silences are the most revealing, where
object and memory come together to form an imagined reality.
The folder is the silence within this inherited archive.
The remembered becomes the lived present and the hunt begins;
using museum archives and Internet searches, time collapses
to make the forgotten visible. But there is no map, no point
B, just a series of fragments that when placed together
form a reimagined whole, an archive of a life.
These clues have become the catalyst for over two years
of research that has developed into the basis of artist
Holly Davey’s current studio practice. During this event,
when work will be on show, Davey and curator Tessa Jackson
will discuss the ideas and themes that exist within the
work.
Holly
Davey’s practice involves working closely with
ideas around memory, place and archival collections both
public and private. She is interested in the heritage of
a location or collection especially, its lost and largely
forgotten social history. She researches and develops ideas
that explore notions of fact and fiction, blurring the boundaries
and making the audience question what is real. Her work
includes site-specific commissions and explores the relationship
between photography and sculpture.
Holly Davey has been selected for a British School at Rome
Fellowship in 2019 and received a Creative Wales Award in
2017/18.
Since graduating from Goldsmiths College, London, Davey
has exhibited across the UK and internationally. Recent
exhibitions in 2018 include The Conversation, at g39, Cardiff
and The Hardwick Gallery, Cheltenham Spa; Charcoal is the
Colour of Absence, The Newbridge Project, Newcastle as well
as The Conversation book launch at French Riviera, London.
Recent commissions include (2016 – 18) Here Is Where We
Came From at Plymouth Arts Centre, Plymouth; There Is No
There There, A La Ronde, National Trust, Exeter; Here Is
Where We Meet, a Situations Commission for Bath and Bristol
Weekender and The Nameless Grace, The Holburne Museum, Bath;

Ash before Oak Launch
of Jeremy Cooper's latest novel with a reading by Gavin
Turk
Wednesday 3 April 2019 6.30-8.30pm
Join Fitzcarraldo Editions and Danielle Arnaud for the launch
of Jeremy Cooper's novel Ash before oak with a
reading by Gavin Turk.
Ash before Oak is a novel in the form of a fictional
journal written by a solitary man on a secluded Somerset
estate. Ostensibly a nature diary, chronicling the narrator’s
interest in the local flora and fauna and the passing of
the seasons, Ash before Oak is also the story of
a breakdown told slantwise, and of the narrator’s subsequent
recovery through his reengagement with the world around
him. Written in prose that is as precise as it is beautiful,
winner of the 2018 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, Jeremy
Cooper’s first novel in over a decade is a stunning investigation
of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life.

Futures to deconstruct and appropriate new power relationships
against the divide in the so-called ‘other’, in terms of
gender and race.
Unknown is part of A- - -Z's (Anne Duffau) research
through the screening of works that explore & defy preconceived/imperialist
hi.Stories of identities & bodies. Through the scope
of narratives & distinctive genre ranging from art,
youtube mash-up to music videos, the aim of this screening
is to break boundaries & raise interest in terms of
displacement, otherness & post gender. Extending our
ongoing research into the notions of amorphous body through
technology and inner space, one important point is to embracing
the Uses of the Erotic referred to in Audre Lorde to make
the personal Political and the bodily a weapon.

Freya Gabie: Hold the Line
25-27 October 2018
Artist talks: Wednesday 24 October, 6-8pm and Saturday 27
October, 4-6pm
Admission free, no booking required
Photograph by Freya Gabie
On Wednesday 24 and Saturday 27 October artist Freya Gabie
will present a talk focusing on her recent voyage on the
Dr Fridtjof Nansen Vessel, where she was invited onto the
Namibian and South African Pelagic cruise November – December
2017. Gabie’s recent research focuses on Norwegian arctic
explorer and marine biologist Fridtjof Nansen, who in 1922
as High Commissioner for Refugees within The League of Nations,
issued a historic document offering stateless persons travel
and asylum outside of their home country. By 1942, the passport
was recognised by 52 countries, 53 by today’s borders. Gabie
has spent the last two years tracing these documents and
has uncovered over seventy passports. She is working towards
recreating a voyage taken by one of these passport holders
in 2019.
On display in the gallery will be a collection of postcards
Gabie sent to contacts across the world throughout her journey,
her Atlas drawing, as well as an ongoing series
of drawings of military explosions based on results generated
by Google image search.
Freya
Gabie studied sculpture at Chelsea College
of Art and the RCA, she works between Bristol and London.
Her practice is site responsive: focusing on connection
and exchange. She makes objects, drawings and interventions
that respond to histories, stories and places, peeling under
the surface to expose hidden layers. Her work disrupts the
unconscious interchange between people and their environment
through methods of displacement, partial erasure or re-framing;
creating a sense of isolation and impermanence while paradoxically
highlighting the connection at play between seemingly autonomous
entities, often left unspoken or overlooked.
She regularly works collaboratively with a range of individuals
and communities in the UK and internationally. Previous
projects include staging a live performance with an Opera
singer in a coal-hole in central London and collaborating
with UK financial traders and traditional Lancashire clog
dancers to create a clog dance interpreting the financial
trading data of BREXIT.
This spring Gabie was commissioned by Bow Arts as artist
in residence for Raw Materials Textiles 2018 to create a
body of work responding to the historic textile of East
London, working with several archives and museums including
the V&A, William Morris Gallery and the Jewish Museum.
This summer, for Diep Haven 2018, she created a sculptural
intervention in the form of a line drawing across two landscapes,
in Normandy France, and East Sussex, UK along the proposed
V2 missile route. She has just returned from a one-month
residency in Tranas, Sweden where she developed body of
work in response to the town’s historic fur trade.

In Common Talk w/Clayground Collective
Artists Rebecca Davies, Eva Sajovic and
Shane Waltener invite you to visit them ‘in residence’ at
Danielle Arnaud. The artists will be sharing findings from
their two-year project, Unearthing Elephant, over
five days at the gallery. Participate in talks and workshops
and help produce small publication that will be launched
on the closing night.
Unearthing Elephant is a project devised by the
artists People’s Bureau (Eva Sajovic and Rebecca Davies)
and Shane Waltener in partnership with Tate Exchange and
Stave Hill Ecological Park in 2017. It addresses themes
of regeneration, development and ecology, with an initial
focus on communities within the Elephant and Castle area.
It has resulted in talks, interviews, a presentation at
Tate Exchange and an award-winning film.
The project comes out of Sajovic-Davies' 9 years of working
in the area in response to a major regeneration scheme planned
for Elephant and Castle, which included the proposed demolition
of the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre. Although halted
by Southwark Council earlier this year, the plans raised
issues that have become universal across the UK and internationally,
namely the division between public and private space, the
rights to one’s city, social justice and community agency.

video screening curated by Mizuki Takahashi
Friday 1 July 2016 6.30pm
Lieko Shiga Canary
2007 video
Artists’ video screening curated by Mizuki Takahashi including works by Futoshi Miyagi, Hanako Murakami, Akira Miyanaga, Lieko Shiga and Yuichiro Tamura.
Programme:
Lieko Shiga, Canary, 2007, 10'07 minutes
Yuichiro Tamura, NIGHTLESS, 2011, 11’32 minutes
Futoshi Miyagi, The Ocean View Resort, 2013, 19'25
minutes
Hanako Murakami, La Parfaite, 2015, 11’11 minutes
Akira Miyagana, arc, 2011, 7’29 minutes
The first camera was brought to Japan by Ueno Toshinojo, a merchant in Nagasaki in 1848; it was a daguerreotype. Hanako Murakami states in her video that Indians used to believe that being photographed would rob them of their soul. This belief was shared by Japanese in the 19th Century who were also afraid of this new technology. It was however too difficult to resist the curiosity of discovering the world through the lens.
For this screening programme, I have selected five artists who create lens-based work to construct time, landscape and narrative each with their unique approach.
Lieko Shiga usually works as a photographer. Her video Canary derives from her staged photo series of the same title. The video follows the rhythm and movement of her body as she shoots.
Yuichiro Tamura creates a short road movie with images taken from Google Street View. He has also shuffled and edited the initial edition to produce several versions of Nightless with different landscapes but the same narrative.
Futoshi Miyagi was born in Okinawa which was regarded as a holiday resort. However, it is a region that has been historically oppressed and scarified by governmental policy from Japanese mainland. Okinawa is also known as the island where a fierce battle took place during World War II. With this historical background, Miyagi’s video, The Ocean View Resort, poetically tells the provisional communion between an Okinawan boy and an American soldier.
Hanako Murakami uses photography as medium and subject for her conceptual works. Her video, The Perfect, starts with the story of the birth of the daguerreotype. She connects life and death behind the scientific invention and radioactivity with the accident at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear plant in 2011.
Akira Miyanaga’s video consists of footages shot in different locations. He installs his video camera onto the roof of his car and travels all around Japan. arc is a collage of footages shot in the North part of Japan after the disaster of 11 March 2011.
Travelling from past to present, transforming the invisible to tangible, using both microscopic and macroscopic lens, the video works by these five artists will show non-linear time and abstracted spaces which cannot be captured by our physical lens, our own eyes.
Mizuki Takahashi is a senior curator at the MILL6 Foundation in Hong Kong which will open in 2018. Prior to her current position, Takahashi worked as senior curator at the Art Tower Mito and was a founding member of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. Addressing subjects including cultural diffusion between West and Asia, gender, cultural politics and urgent social issues, Takahashi realised exhibitions covering manga, architecture, performance, film, sound, fashion and visual art. Selected exhibitions include: You Reach Out - Right Now - for Something: Questioning the Concept of Fashion, Art Tower Mito (2014); Darren Almond Second Thoughts, Art Tower Mito (2013); Tadasu Takamine’s Cool Japan, Art Tower Mito (2012); Quiet Attentions: Departure from Women (2011), Art Tower Mito and 8 Days: Beuys in Japan, Art Tower Mito (2009).

Envelope Opening for Closing
Event performance by Patrick Coyle
Sunday 22 May 2016 4.30pm
Patrick Coyle Envelope
Opening for Closing Event 2016
As part of Footnotes to a Long Distance Telephone Call, Patrick Coyle has been posting a series of items to Danielle Arnaud which are displayed in the exhibition. Envelope Opening for Closing Event will deliver the promise of its title on the final day of the exhibition, when Coyle will deliver a performance in which he opens these items and uses them as a script.
For their exhibition Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry have invited the Disembodied Voice research group to show new works and host a series of events. The group includes Maia Conran, Patrick Coyle, Karen Di Franco, Kihlberg & Henry, and was formed in 2014 as a format to explore manifestations of the disembodied voice within their own work and in wider culture. The disembodied voice, and its often inevitable re-embodiment in objects other than the original speaking body, are variously reflected in the exhibition and its associated events, from the recorded voice in moving image to its traces in written correspondences and archives.
Patrick Coyle (b. 1983, Hull, UK) is
an artist and writer working predominantly with performance
and sculpture. His practice considers the difference between
sense and nonsense in verbal communication. Often borrowing
from the conventions of guided tours and poetry readings,
Coyle examines both the supposed authority of the lone orator
and the psychological affect of reading aloud on both the
listener and the speaker. Coyle completed MFA Art Writing
at Goldsmiths, University of London (2010) and BA Fine Art
at Byam Shaw, University of the Arts London (2005). He recently
delivered performances at El Tercer Lugar, Buenos Aires;
Catalyst Arts, Belfast; Van Alen Institute, New York; Global
Committee, New York; Tate Modern, London; Institute of Contemporary
Arts, London; Nottingham Contemporary; Wellcome Collection,
London; ANDOR Gallery, London; Whitechapel Gallery, London,
and Spike Island, Bristol (all 2014-16).
Recent exhibitions include: The Place Where He Is Meant
To Be Lost, The Third Policeman, New York; Trim
Your Tongue, DKUK Salon, Peckham, London; fig-2
28/50 Patrick Coyle & Francesco Pedraglio, Institute
of Contemporary Arts, London; A Circular, Cubitt
Gallery, London; It said, ANDOR Gallery, London.
Coyle is currently a resident at The Hub, Wellcome Collection,
London, and a member of The Disembodied Voice research group.
John Smith screening and conversation
with Kihlberg & Henry
Friday 29 April 2016 6.30pm
John Smith Lost Sound
1998-2001 SD video, 28 mins, colour, sound
John Smith will be screening a series of films followed by a conversation with Kihlberg & Henry about the use of voiceover in his work. John Smith was born in London in 1952 and studied film at the Royal College of Art. Inspired in his formative years by conceptual art and structural film, but also fascinated by the immersive power of narrative and the spoken word, he has developed an extensive body of work that subverts the perceived boundaries between documentary and fiction, representation and abstraction. Often rooted in everyday life, Smith’s meticulously crafted films rework and transform reality, playfully exploring and exposing the language of cinema.
Part of the exhibition Footnotes to a Long Distance Telephone Call running at the gallery until Sunday 22 May 2016.

I Decide Not To Operate Without
Direct Communication presentation by Karen Di
Franco
Sunday 24 April 2016 4pm
Close up of redacted text, Lee
Lozano to Barbara Reise, November 1971
Karen Di Franco will present I Decide Not to Operate Without Direct Communication. A postcard from Lee Lozano located in the archive of writer and critic Barbara Reise is taken as a starting point to discuss the temporalities of the archive. The philosopher Karen Barad has described the archive as trace rather than repository - as an assemblage of interactive phenomena. By articulating documents, the presentation will explore such interactivities.
Karen Di Franco works as an archivist,
a curator, and is currently PhD candidate with Tate Britain
and Reading University researching forms, strategies and
contexts within artists’ publishing. Recent projects include
the exhibitions The sun went in, the fire went out:
landscapes in film, performance and text, CHELSEA space
(2016), Icons of a Process, Flat Time House (2014)
and the development of Book Works online archive and publication
Again, A Time Machine (2010-12).
With Ami Clarke she co-organises the New Materialism reading
group at Banner Repeater, London and is a member of the
Disembodied Voice research group.

Death and Dying
video screening curated by David Lillington
Friday 11 September 2015 7pm
Artavazd Peleshian End
1994 video 8'15 minutes
Fabienne Audéoud, Kate Davis and David Moore, Philip Hoffman, Sanna Linell, Ophélie Malassigné, Petrina Ng, Owen Oppenheimer, Artavazd Peleshian, Audrey Reynolds, Bartosz Sikorski, Malin Ståhl, Christina Stuhlberger.
Despite the humour, the fiction and the fictionalising, realism is the underlying tone of this selection of short films and videos on death, which also represent a number of related genres and approaches. What lightness or fantasy there is, is a measure of the artists' respect for their theme. All the work is both highly engaging and highly engaged, and deals with the idea of death but also with the particular case.
Programme:
Bartosz Sikorski, 1 bit pixel, 2009, 40 seconds
Malin Ståhl, We Didn't Say No, 2008, 10'20 minutes

SANDRA CROSS - The MMs Bar
The MMs Bar recordings are part of an on-going project:
ʻWhat Did You Eat Today?ʼ an enquiry into how we make choices
about what to eat, how we navigate our way through the maelstrom
of modern life via a blizzard of often conflicting information.
Different lines of enquiry are explored. These include filmed
portraits, audio taped interviews, sound poems, ephemeral
visual and textual responses to the culture of food production
and consumption. The subsections of the enquiry include:
ʻThe Physiology of Tasteʼ Anagnostʼ & Take It Awayʼ,
Mass Observation, Films, MMs Bar. In various ways and using
different means, an attempt is made to explore what food
might mean for the individual, particularly those whose
experience often goes unrecorded - the unclassified or unclassifiable.
The MMs Bar was preceded by written texts made during one
particular train journey when I would record and mark the
event and explore the twin themes of identity and eating,
by noting what those who sat near me ate. I didn’t go looking
for anyone; the requirements were only that they had to
be close by and eating. I then speculated about what this
activity told me about who I thought the individuals were
or might be. There is a fictionalising going on as I was
guessing and interpreting on the basis of my observation
which isn’t free of subjectivity. I may also have used the
occasion to be critical of the foods eaten which may tap
into my perception of how cynical some manufactured foods
are and how through certain exaggerated tastes - high salt,
sugar, etc. large sections of the population have been lured
into eating foods which seem to me to be virtual rather
than actual, doing little to nourish, a lot to excite and
increase desire, but which aren’t designed with the eater’s
best interests at heart.
The MMs Bar (the name of the carriage where passengers were
invited to make their purchases) recordings seemed to represent
a microcosm of society in which some of the foods we eat
were broadcast in all their fascinating glory. Very often,
there were stuttering, pauses, uncertainty, mishaps in the
broadcasts. It was never possible to know when the broadcast
would begin and this added to the random nature of the recordings
themselves. There’s a certain snatched quality about them
which I feel gives the piece more authenticity.which is
added to by the raw quality and unedited nature of the recordings.
So, during a period when I was making sometimes twice weekly
journeys from London to Leicester, I recorded these buffet
car announcements, over the course of a year 2006-7. Although
the list of refreshments available were roughly the same
on each journey, individual variations would occur and it
was these that I listened for. The variant seemed to be
a way in which a person expressed their difference in the
same way that the tone or volume of their voice did. Unseen,
some workers sounded as though they were auditioning for
another role in life. Some were a little retiring, others
more forthright. The food became secondary. I think of the
MMs Bar as expressing a part of who we Englanders are and
I hope it represents something of the spirit of the early
Mass Observers under the guidance of anthropologist Tom
Harrisson, who switched his attention from other continents
and peoples to document and study our native habits. The
recordings were initially played by William English on his
programme, ‘Wavelength’ on Resonance 104.4 FM. It was during
a repeat of the programme that Jonny Trunk of Trunk Records
heard these and felt he’d like to make a limited edition
vinyl of the recordings and so he did.

JULIAN DOYLE / FILTER FEEDER - Alpage
Filter Feeder is Julian Doyle's music & sound project
started in 2005 with the release of a CD album 'Feeding
Frenzy' and has continued with several further CD and Vinyl
releases. Along with numerous live performances these recordings
have explored electronic sound, rhythmic improvisation and
sound collage using both found sounds & field recordings
often with a political or documentary slant. Alpage is anew
work developed for this event and consists initially of
field recordings made in the Haute Savoie & Jura regions
of France. These recordings are progressively layered and
manipulated in real time then used as both catalyst and
component for a percussion & electronic sound improvisation.
Julian Doyle, aka Filter Feeder, takes sound sources as
diverse as raw waveforms, washing machines or the human
voice and filters and layers them “until I have something
that comes alive”. On Pleasure Cycle, the sounds are thin,
reedy and microtonal, but the pendulum-like rhythmic loops
Doyle sets up slowly became naggingly eerie. The track’s
signature two-note pulse suggests some kind of siren being
experienced through a hallucinogenic altered haze. Doyle
has an intuitive and expressive touch with his microtonal
explorations, however, always returning elliptically to
warm overtones and lending an almost amniotic warmth to
this fine track. Derek Walmsley in The Wire magazine
WILLIAM ENGLISH
'I first met Captain Maurice Frank Henry Urquhart Necom
Seddon (Royal Signals, retired) in 1979 when I was a motorcycle
messenger. He was standing at the side of the road in Covent
Garden, wearing a tabard advertising Heated Gloves, next
to an oil soaked BSA which sprouted wires, heating up his
lunch by the same method as his clothing. We were friends
for the following decades until his death in 2014. When
he left his home, Datchet Cottage, after fifty years, he
left behind vast amounts of material including hundreds
of cassette recordings of his phone calls. After he was
taken into a care home the local council set about emptying
his house and garden and the vast majority of the cassettes
were strewn around on the floor gathering dust and destined
for a skip. As executor of his will I was able to gather
up as many of the audiocassettes as I could store which
resulted in numerous broadcasts on Resonance104.4fm, London’s
first radio arts station, and consequently the “Seddon Tapes”
as they became known formed a 24 hour marathon which has
been broadcast every Christmas for the last 3 years.
Tape 44 of the Seddon tapes, Captain Maurice Seddon speaks
at lenght with what may be a hoaxer or an imbecile or an
imbecilic hoaxer. Maurice placed an advert in a newspaper
asking for a chest freezer to join the vast amount of chest
freezers already in his garden. The freezers contain vintage
food i.e. bags of food remnants frozen solid, way beyond
their shell by date.
A caller responds, apparently based in Chester.
Most people would hang up after 5 minutes but Maurice continues
for 30.'

And Finally: A Blooming Awful End
Polly Gould Penguin Pool
Design, Darwin and the Archive
Thursday 19 March 2015 7pm
Performative lecture by Polly Gould followed by discussion with Steven Crossan, Founder of Google Cultural Institute, Dr. Peg Rawes, Senior Lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and Emily Hayes, PhD candidate at the Royal Geographical Society and the University of Exeter.
Gould’s performative lecture is modeled
on the Edwardian magic lantern show and the tableau vivant.
They were the popular forms of their time, presented with
narration and music, and equally likely to take place in
a domestic drawing room or in a public hall. Although now
outmoded, magic lantern shows and tableaux vivants can be
seen as antecedents to film. For Penguin Pool Gould
has recombined a set of old lantern slides into a narrative.
It begins with a slide of the penguins in the iconic 1934
design by Lubetkin (1901-1990) for the penguin pond at London
Zoo. A 1936 film on Lubetkin’s innovative zoo design claimed
that ‘for the first time’ the animals would no longer be
‘housed in artificial reproductions of their natural surroundings.’[1]
Like characters in a tableau vivant the animals assume the
nonspeaking parts. Polly Gould also considers a lecture
titled ‘Some Remarks on Penguins,’ prepared in 1902 by the
explorer Edward Wilson (1872-1912) during the Discovery
expedition to Antarctica. Wilson, believing penguins to
be ‘some of the most primitive behind-hand birds in existence'
[2] looked to them to unlock insights into evolution.
Penguin Pool plays on the pun of ‘pool’ as an entertaining
architectural design for zoological display and gene pool,
which fits the more recent conception of the zoo as a place
for conservation of endangered species. Evolutionary ecology
is currently being used to predict threats posed to biodiversity
from various potential extinctions. In a similar mode, the
archive is also considered as a type of gene pool, as a
collection of available data and information that can be
drawn upon for design innovation and for making predictions
of future scenarios.

Her teaching and research focus on how built and social architectural cultures are informed by philosophical ideas of aesthetics, ecology, materials, subjectivity and technology. She is Co-Investigator to the AHRC research project, Equalities in Wellbeing in which she is exploring how 17th century ideas of ratio, geometry and wellbeing engage with the current UK housing crisis issues. This work develops from her recent work into ‘architectures of care’ in Architectural Relational Ecologies (2013), and Poetic Biopolitics (forthcoming 2015). These collaborations with colleagues from philosophy, medicine, law, political science, anthropology and the arts propose political and material forms of architectural sustainability.
Polly Gould is in the last year of her AHRC-funded Doctoral Award PhD at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. Her thesis title is No More Elsewhere: Antarctica through the Archive of the Edward Wilson Watercolours. Edward Wilson (1872-1912) was one of the explorers who died with Captain Scott during his attempt to be first to reach the South Pole. Gould shows with Danielle Arnaud, and has a collaborative and curatorial practice with Anne Eggebert, most recently curating the touring show TOPOPHOBIA.
Dr. Rebecca Kilner unfortunately had to cancel her participation in the panel discussion and sent her apologies.

The Disembodied Voice
Wednesday 29 October 2014 7-9 pm
HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's
'2001: A Space Odyssey'
The newly formed research group ‘The Disembodied Voice’ will host its first public event to introduce a series of references in the form of film clips, ideas, texts etc. Each member of the group will present material relating to their own practice and interests concerning ideas of the disembodied voice and its place in contemporary culture.
The group is formed of Maia Conran, Patrick Coyle, Karen Di Franco, The Hut Project, and Karin Kihlberg & Reuben Henry who are also coordinating the programme over the coming months.
For the event at Danielle Arnaud visitors are invited to take part in discussing the presented material as well as celebrating the inaugural event of this research project.
Through critical engagement, discursive processes and production this collaborative research project sets out to investigate the relationship between the disembodied voice and contemporary visual culture. Working together the group will explore an array of questions and ideas relating to their individual practices and concepts surrounding the disembodied voice. The groups participants work across different fields from film making, performance, writing, curating and archiving.
Working through the groups’ individual disciplines the research will explore expanded ideas and complexities of the disembodied voice to leave room for unexpected discoveries, connections and expansions of the subject. The group will take part in workshops, site visits and activities held by guest speakers from a variety of fields to expand on their practice.
The research process will open up for further input by hosting open public events throughout the project.
The project is made possible with the support of Vision Forum and Linköping University in Sweden. Vision Forum carries out research, meetings and production in contemporary visual art across borders.

Performative Lecture by Polly Gould
For the closing event on Sunday 16 June at 3pm, Polly Gould will present a 30 minute performative lecture amongst the installed artworks of the exhibition. The performance takes as a starting point the photographer Ponting’s 1911 self-portrait operating a magic lantern for the polar party. Polly also refers to Wilson’s hand-written notes for a lecture on sketching held at the Scott Polar Research Institute. In these notes Wilson calls for ‘a copyist’ rather than some expressive artistic fellow. His lecture on sketching for the men in the polar hut was a mirror image of the educational tours of Edwardian drawing rooms that Wilson undertook on return from the Discovery Expedition of 1901-04. The performative lecture takes a sideways glance at some of the people that inhabit this narrative, putting the camp back into camping. The artist uses quotation, projection and sound to present a mirroring with distortions of her encounter with elsewhere through Wilson’s Antarctic archive.This performance will be accompanied by the London-based musician Hibiki Ichikawa.
Conteuses: An Evening with Kate
Bernheimer
curated by Catriona McAra, hosted by Danielle Arnaud
with contributions from Samantha Sweeting and Tessa Farmer
Friday 7 June 2013 6.30pm
In honour of the American fairy tale writer Kate Bernheimer and in response to her renowned collection Mirror, Mirror on the Wall (1998), Conteuses invites you to an evening of collective discussion, collaboration and celebration. As we have learned from such critical Scheherazades as Bernheimer, Marina Warner (1994), Cristina Bacchilega (1999) and Elizabeth Wanning Harries (2001), the late seventeenth century gave rise to a trend of aristocratic female storytellers or conteuses, a tendency which is reflected in late twentieth century art and literature. But what has the early twenty-first century inherited and what constitutes feminist practice today? Is the prefix “woman” writer/artist unnecessary or does it still have a role to play in fairy tale telling, writing and making? How does it overcome cliché? Following in the glass footsteps of Angela Carter, A.S. Byatt, Kiki Smith, Dorothea Tanning and Leonora Carrington, among many others, we encounter a new generation of uncompromisingly subversive and achingly beautiful practice. This research-through-practice forum aims to explore notions of embodied storytelling by contemporary tellers of tales in a variety of media (including literature, sculpture and performance). Conteuses assembles a new generation of female voices in the hope of conjuring innovative connections and fostering intimate dialogues.

Culture in a time of conflict
The panel will include artist David Cotterrell and writer Andrew O’Hagan
The fourth event in this series will explore the environmental footprint of war from an arts perspective. The makers of the film ‘Scarred Lands’ described the environment as the ‘silent casualty’ of war. War carries many environmental implications and resource depletion is increasingly engendering conflict. Michael Klare painted a terrifying picture of ‘the new landscape of global conflict’ in his book Resource Wars. How are artists responding to these challenges and what is their perspective on war?
In November last year David Cotterrell spent three weeks with the Royal Army Medical Corps and Royal Marine Commandos for a residency supported by the Wellcome Trust at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province.
This military perspective was recently complimented by a second trip to Afghanistan, this time through civilian eyes, on an Arts & Ecology residency in Kabul, Afghanistan with Turquoise Mountain. During his time in Kabul he had the opportunity to engage and work with artists, craft makers and art students both at Kabul University and Turquoise Mountain’s Centre for Traditional Afghan Art and Architecture in Kabul
For his recent collection of essays, The Atlantic Ocean, writer Andrew O’Hagan researched the lives of two infantrymen, one British and one American, who died on the same night in Iraq. Many of O’Hagan’s novels have voiced issues surrounding conflict and he has also written numerous articles exploring the ethics of war.
Be Near Me, his last novel, won the 2008 Los Angeles Times Book Prize award for fiction. He joined the prestigious Robert Burns Humanitarian Award judging panel this year and has recently returned from Palestine where he participated in the Palestine Festival of Literature.
