Blank Media Collective is seeking work for an innovative and exciting exhibition in conjunction with easaHQ, Manchester and FutureEverything 2010. Unbuilt will be a platform to highlight the work of non-practicing architects.

Almost a decade ago, undergraduates commenced architecture degrees amid a booming economic climate. Now, as students graduate into a recession and as architecture has taken the biggest hit of any professional group, Blank Media Collective want to curate a show of exciting work by emerging architecture talent at easaHQ, Manchester. We will have an opening party promoting and celebrating your creativity and it will be your opportunity to get your work out there in an interesting and exciting format… however the twist is that we only want to see the work of those graduates who have not yet gained relevant employment.

We will be holding an optional drop-in session on Monday 29 March, 3-7pm at easaHQ. The curators for this exhibition will be available to answer any questions, talk about your work and document any pieces that you may wish to submit.

Warboys’ practice spans sculpture, painting, film and installation often featuring found objects which are used as a point of departure for visual narratives and documented performances. Materials are often partnered with the elements: the sea in her pigment and large canvas sea paintings and the sun in her object/shadows captured in cyanotypes. When watching her films, where all these disparate elements appear, the viewer can experience an atmosphere of the ‘in-between’: that space where the emotional and psychological dimensions meet.

The Red Rag Gallery art exhibition features the work of 8 contemporary Irish artists, whose contributions span a range of visual and emotional experience – from the endearing elaboration of the day-to-day by Anji Allen, through the quirky townscapes of Val Byrne and the evocative Irish landscapes of Cormac O’Leary and Laurence O’Toole to the finely observed and thoughtful images of café and lounge life of Brian Smyth.

Commenting on the latest art show Gallery Manager Carole Teagle says: “Irish art has seen considerable worldwide interest in recent years. As probably the largest gallery for contemporary Irish art outside of London it is a pleasure to showcase some of Ireland’s leading living artists in the Cotswolds.”

Painter Anji Allen has not included a Gold Cup in her artwork but she is well known for her beautiful oil paintings featuring teacups. She says:
“My paintings are an emotional response to memory, reminding me of people and places, of times spent with friends and family, chatting over a cup of tea or coffee.”

A visit to the Irish exhibition at Red Rag Gallery will be a fine counterpoint to the excitement of the Festival offering a sense of treasured, shared experience and a fascinating insight into contemporary Irish Art.

Notes:
The Irish Exhibition will run from 15 March to 28 March 2010.
The Cheltenham Festival runs from 16 – 19 March 2010.

Red Rag Gallery is a leading UK art gallery and specialises in British and Irish contemporary art, sculpture and limited edition prints. Red Rag Gallery represents many leading contemporary artists and sculptors and ships artwork worldwide.
Red Rag has galleries in Stow on the Wold and Bath. The galleries are open every day. Opening hours are: 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday; 11am to 4pm, Sunday.
