hARTslane is opening their doors again! Come and celebrate @ ‘Mood Swigs’ 13-15 May – a group show by Georgia Noble, Katie Shannon, Kavitha Balasingham, Maria Joranko

Mood Swigs

EXHIBITION

13-15 May | PV 13th 6-9pm

From wet washing dripping to dirty soil tracks, clean carpets and blushing bubbles; Mood Swigs is an immersive installation of four artists creating an atmosphere, a feeling, a mood.

This exhibition highlights their works in development which move, stumble and dance around playful moments of identity slippage. Sculptures as figure, figure as machine, ghost partier in the bath.

The artists draw from collective interests in low culture, high camp, eroticism, ecstasy, and hauntology. [Kavitha’s smacking lips, Georgia’s glittering glitch, Katie’s bottles clinking, Maria’s ass-a-shakin’.] These works seek to haptically augment and adorn private histories and lovingly personified specters across blurred temporalities.

Material subversions in latex, projection, flock, and liquid inhabit a space describing imaginal bodies in-flux with their environments and (end) times.

BSBH Art for POSTER-ity

BSBH 2020: Art for POSTERity in Lewisham

A project and exhibition featuring poster artworks of young black artists from Lewisham and South East London.

The first exhibition organised by the Be Seen, Be Heard Youth Forum, brought together 50 black artists and creatives from Lewisham & South East London celebrating black lives as well as addressing disparity, marginalisation and the need for change.

Street posters have continually been used as a powerful form of protest and a symbol of visual activism. The skill set used to make posters range from folk art inspired works to slick graphics by professional artists and designers. In a poster, the art is repeated and its message is multiplied as the energy and enthusiasm that they evoke, can contribute to meaningful change.

All poster-artworks are for sale as limited editions at an affordable price of £30. The profits will be divided between the young artist and the BSBH Forum fund to continue to create opportunities for young black creatives in Lewisham. The exhibition features work made by painters, illustrators, graphic designers, social activists, dancers, fashion designers, mixed media and fine artists, who created unexpected, thought-provoking contributions to the urban spectacle in the form of a digital image / poster.

Art for POSTER-ity in Lewisham was coordinated by Jada Perry, Visual Communication student at Ravensbourne University & Flynn Richards, Interactive Digital Design student at the Brit School; with the mentoring support of Cedric Whilby, community enabler.
Be Seen, Be Heard: Art for Poster-ity in Lewisham is kindly supported by Lewisham Council.
