All sales from the Box set will help Print students in the future and also assist in the production of future box sets of prints.

Invited artists included in 'Trace' are Alison Erika Forde (image right), Andrew Bracey, Laurence Lane. Staff include Oran O'Reilly, Chara Lewis, Howard Goody, Mike Hitchens. Graduating Students : Amy Allen, Leighton Bohl, Lois Davenport, Richard Deloughry (imageleft), Eleri Ellis-Williams, Jennifer MacIntyre, Chris O'Neill, Reza Ostad-Saffari, Rima Salem, Michael Sheridan, Lorene Simpson, Sean Titcombe, Sam Wild.

The box set consists of 20 prints (each print is 25x35cm) and are presented in an archival box.

Individual Prints can be bought for £50 each, the box set of 20 prints can be purchased for £700.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the prints please contact Oran O'Reilly at o.oreilly@mmu.ac.uk

Fine Art Printmedia Degree Show

2011-07-01T02:17:00.000-07:00

The Fine Art Degree show at MMU ran form the 17th - 23rd June. I would like to say congratulations to all of the Printmedia students who put on a fantastic exhibition in two areas of the Grosvenor Building. There was an extremely diverse range of work that saw students working with both established and contemporary digital approaches to Print - with some interesting combinations of drawing, photography, installation, sound and video. The image is of Lorene Simpson and her book 'The Seeker' based on the story of Frank Searle (intrepid Loch Ness Monster hunter). I will be attaching more photos of the Degree Show soon...........

New Contemporaries 2010

2010-01-16T14:08:00.000-08:00

The deadline for newcontemporaries 2010 is FRIDAY 19 FEBRUARY 2010.

This is the chance for current 3rd year students to apply for the New Contemporaries exhibition. Last years chosen artists exhibited at the Cornerhouse in Manchester.

'New Contemporaries gives people still at, or just after, art school the opportunity to show their work in the context of a professional art gallery. It is important in that it takes the work out of the educational context and into the real. The relationship between education and art is known, respected, but strangely not recognised enough. As an organisation New Contemporaries is, however, totally independent of the art school as it allows applicants a democratic chance for the work itself to shine through. Reputations that might otherwise become set within the art school system are able to break out. '

Please go to the New Contemporaries website for application details.

Interview with recent graduate Sarah Abbott

2009-11-09T01:46:00.000-08:00

Recent Print Graduate Sarah Abbott has been interviewed about her work on the Not Paper.net (a blog that discusses collage.) Whilst studying at MMU Sarah made some fantastic work that took collecting as its starting point:

"I'm not sure I have a specific technique, but collecting things defintely helps things along, just finding little things that could otherwise become lost in the world and giving them a home again. I have so many worthless things lying around that I couldn't part with, I'm sure lots of people can relate to that." Sarah Abbott (Read the rest of the interview)

Sarah' s degree show exhibition culminated in a successful installation of found objects, drawings and engaging paper assemblage. Sarah has exhibited her work and has completed numerous commissions.

Ideal for all ages* from 8 to 80+.
Improves creativity for children/adults and is therapeutic.
Compare your creation with others by sending an image and
short story about your doodlestitch to our gallery.

doodlestitch is a 3D blank canvas that you can make into a character or creature of your choice. It is creative, fun, exciting, relaxing and educational. You can turn it into whatever you want, giving you the freedom to be individual. You can do it on your own or in groups. It is therapeutic and be warned it can be addictive. It is also good for building social skills. Fascinating conversations develop from groups sitting and stitching.
You start by taking your needle and thread to sew on buttons, to give your doodlestitch eyes. Then sew stitches all over to make it individual. You can as have as many eyes as you want and use any stitches that you know. The basic stitch to get you started is running stitch.
With doodlestitch you can start to sew and leave it if you need to do something else. The next time you get the itch to stitch you can pick it up and start again where you left off or at a different point.

doodlestitch is a perfect gift for others or as a treat for yourself.

Joyous Machines Tate Liverpool

2009-10-13T05:13:00.000-07:00

It is recommended that you visit Tate Liverpool to see the exhibition 'Joyous Machines: Michael Landy and Jean Tinguely'

'I went to this exhibition and I thought it was wonderful. To actually see Tinguley's machines working and to see the concepts he has developed is fascinating they are a strange mixture of the anarchic and crazy but there is a huge element of fun that lies beneath it all. I also think that Michael Landy’s work in bringing together the Homage to New York ,while it might be a bit obsessive at times, is great, especially as he has tracked down so many of the people actually involved in the H2NY event. The image of the bow tied patrons of the event picking up parts of the structure after it was destroyed and went on fire is priceless. Tinguley’s translation of Kandinsky image into a 3 dimensional moving object is very clever but also reveling in being able to combine his knowledge of the art with the formation of a 3 dimensional image completely different in form from the original concepts.

Richard Deloughry

This exciting exhibition will focus upon the connection between the work of Jean Tinguely (1925-1991), one of the most radical, inventive and subversive sculptors of the mid twentieth-century, and renowned British artist Michael Landy, who has been significantly influenced by Tinguely and his constructive and destructive tendencies.

Landy will co-curate Joyous Machines: Michael Landy and Jean Tinguely, and will devote special attention to Tinguely’s rarely examined early career, tracing the development of Tinguely’s work from the late 1940s building up to his momentous Homage to New York.This, the most famous and influential of all ‘auto-destructive’ works of art, was a 27ft high self-destroying mechanism that came to life for 27 minutes before catching fire during a performance in the Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Modern Art, New York on 17 March 1960.

As recommended by Richard in 2nd year

Early 20th Century prints at the Whitworth

2009-10-07T07:30:00.000-07:00

19 September - 13 December 2009

Printmakers in the United States in the first half of the 20th century produced some of the most exciting, original and defining images of modern American life.

Beginning with John Sloan and the Ashcan School of urban realism in the early 1900s, artists adopted a wide variety of print media to depict the American Scene, from the evocative cityscapes of Edward Hopper and Martin Lewis to romanticised views of the rural heartlands by Thomas Hart Benton and the young Jackson Pollock.

Tuesday Talks at the Whitworth

2009-10-05T05:39:00.000-07:00

ALL YEARS

Please be sure to attend these excellent and free series of talks

Tuesday Talks

at The Whitworth Art Gallery

13 October - 8 December 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

The Tuesday Talks series, programmed by Prof. Pavel Büchler with Lesley

Young, explores the driving forces, influences and sources of inspiration

behind the work of contemporary artists.

Mark Lewis

13 October 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Mark Lewis¹s film works explore the language of cinema and painting, placing

the incidental compositions and camera shots conventionally used to connect

that surprise and unsettle the viewer. Lewis has had major solo exhibitions

at Vancouver Art Gallery; Hamburger Kunstverein; BFI Southbank, London, and

FACT, Liverpool; and is representing Canada in the current Venice Biennale.

He is co-founder and co-editor, of Afterall Journal and Books.

Fanni Niemi-Junkola

20 October 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Fanni Niemi-Junkola initially studied sculpture at Glasgow School of Art in

the 1990s but through her interest in kick-boxing and martial arts has

developed a highly personal style of performance video, often based on

violent action. Her video installations and short films have been shown

extensively in her home country of Finland and also internationally,

including at the 3rd Berlin Biennial; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; and

Manifesta 2, Luxembourg. She teaches in the Department of Fine Art at

Tampere Polytechnic.

Knut Åsdam

27 October 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Knut Åsdam¹s film works use sound, video, photography and architecture to

reflect upon the politics of space and the boundaries of subjectivity. These

concerns are often related to themes of dissidence and to an analysis of

space in terms of its use and its history. He lives in Oslo and has

exhibited at Tate Britain; Kunsthalle Bern and the Museum of Contemporary

Art, Oslo; as well as in the 2003 Istanbul Biennial and Manifesta 7,

Rovereto, Italy.

Will Holder

3 November 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Will Holder is an artist, designer and editor whose work focuses on books

and the gap between language and object. Through these different roles he

explores the transformative processes at play within the act of publishing.

Re-performing and referencing art, literature and music, using the works of

Dickens, Salinger or Cage, Holder swoops around the stuff of books and

writing with reverence and playfulness. He co-edits biannual journal FR

DAVID, has recently co-curated the exhibition Talk Show at the ICA, London,

and in 2005 organised Bachelor Party to celebrate Marcel Duchamp¹s birthday.

Pierre Bismuth

10 November 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Disney characters, fairy tales, or the rituals of the white cube and museumPierre Bismuth¹s practice appropriates imagery found in both pop and high

culture. Whether drawing from political events, reportage, men¹s magazines,

architecture; all are disrupted using similar low-tech means. In 2004 he

collaborated with film director Michel Gondry to make the film Eternal

Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, winning an Oscar for the Best Original

Screenplay. He has had solo exhibitions at Kunsthalle Basel; Villa Arson,

Nice; and Witte de With, Rotterdam. His work was included in the 2001 Venice

Biennale and in Manifesta 4, Frankfurt-am-Main. He lives in Brussels and

London.

Andrew Miller

17 November 2009, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Andrew Miller¹s work engages with abandoned, often utilitarian objects and

architectural fragments, designing and building structures which reference

their provenance and history. As well as exhibiting widely, he has worked on

many public and private architectural and design projects including building

a library for Douglas Gordon and the bookshop at The Fruitmarket Gallery,

Edinburgh. He has recently had a solo exhibition at Inverleith House,

Edinburgh.

Corey McCorkle

24 November, 11.00am - 12.30pm

By moving between cultures, both western and eastern, and disciplines

including art, craft, science and mysticism, Corey McCorkle acquires

knowledge and know-how to imbue his meticulously crafted objects, films and

architectural interventions with complex cultural references and poetic

resonance. Living in New York, he has had solo exhibitions at Maccarone

Gallery, New York: Kunsthalle Bern; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; and

been included within the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

Pamela Rosenkranz

1 December, 11.00am - 12.30pm

Swiss artist Pamela Rosenkranz makes works that resemble language and

suggest a narrative, yet deliberately confuse the viewer¹s search for

meaning. She works in a variety of media, often making use of the simplest

visual forms, techniques and gestures and incorporating in her objects and

installations a range of materials chosen as much for their symbolic

connotations as for their sensual qualities - from her own hair to silicon,

from dust to silk. Last year her work was included in the 5th Berlin

Biennale and Manifesta 7, Rovereto, Italy and will be on show in Manchester,

at Castlefield Gallery, from 3 December.
