Using the track ‘Granma’s House’ by rock band ‘Wall of Voodoo’ as a starting point, found objects are manipulated to make an assemblage, which surreally references both the playful and mischievous sides of b-movie science fiction films.

10th - 20th December 2009
Fran Wilde has a long standing fascination with landscape and constructed spaces and more recently she has been interested in stories that arise when people enter the scene. These six short films represent experiments by Fran in editing footage, photographs and sound that she recorded with a compact digital camera on a trip to India in February 2009. Fran’s interest in India comes from contact with grass-roots development NGOs there

STUART BOWDITCH WINDOWS MEDIA PRAYER V4.0
13th November - 4th December 2009
Windows Media Prayer is an ever expanding collection of photographs taken of and through windows. They explore the different shapes and settings in which windows can be found, as well as the different environments that they simultaneously join and separate. Windows Media Prayer demonstrates the disparities that can lie just a few millimetres apart, separated by something barely visible. The glass serves as a barrier between the viewer and what can be seen, thus inviting you and denying you in the same instance.

"This piece relates to the North Rd Burial Ground near TAP which is in a state of long term decay and neglect. We wanted to 'rescue' the grave stones by preserving their images at least for a short while. The images are rubbings made with charcoal, relating to when the old chapel within the burial ground was burnt down. We wanted to give the impression of the walls and even ceiling being plastered with these memories. The viewer seeks out the text for themselves with a torch, like some kind of 'entombment'/excavation." Heidi Wigmore 2009

"My work attempts to expand the dichotomy of inside and outside and question our empirical understanding of the world. It is essentially the nothingness and in-between of elements that I want to illustrate." Andrew Brookfield 2009
