Two Person Show: David Gledhill and Corin Sworn

28/10/2010 / 13:00 - 18:00

Castlefield Gallery is pleased to present a two-person show with David Gledhill and Corin Sworn that consists of new and existing work. Through painting and old media the artists extrapolate and represent personal artefacts such as photo albums, slides and diaries found at flea markets and skips. The discarded vernacular imagery – divorced from author, epoch and context – challenges our understanding of the spatial and the temporal, re-imagining and re-categorising them to enact as new instances in time and association.

Sworn’s Endless Renovation consists of a series of projected, discarded slides salvaged from a skip accompanied by a narrative spoken by the artist. The piece suggests that the images have been taken by a clock maker whose products represent an unusual relationship to time; one that loops and folds, rather than through a specific progression. Respectively, the audio text moves between theoretical discussion of the images and a collection of meandering thoughts, quoted essays and poems. A relationship gradually develops between the artist and clock maker, constructed through a meta-narrative that is at times self reflexive, seemingly probable but the degree to which it may move beyond supposition is never clear.

Gledhill’s Doctor Munscheid series of paintings are transcriptions of photographs from a family photo album discovered in Frankfurt at a flea market. The photographs, that span a nine year period in 1950s East Germany, feature scenes from the Munscheid family home and social gatherings with family and friends. The images, some of which are un-composed and include optical aberrations, add a degree of intimacy and mawkish sentimentality presenting a complex relationship between the personal and the political backdrop of the Cold War.

Summer House @ Castlefield Gallery: Zero Point Collaboration: 4th Annual General Meeting

29/09/2010

Responding to a perceived lack of ʻfreeʼ available meeting space in city centre locations, Zero Point investigates the ʻart of the meetingʼ, exploring how a collaboration can be negotiated when both the group and the project start at ‘zero’. This year the AGM will take place at Castlefield Gallery in full view of the observing public, minuted by invited volunteers, posted to Skype and webcast live. Previous meetings have taken place in cafes, bars and parks.

On Friday 1 October, Zero Point Collaboration invite artists to book the meeting facility. Email zeropointcollaboration@gmail.com. The public can come and go as they wish during normal gallery opening hours.

Zero Point Collaboration members are Ana Benlloch, Ellie Harrison, Matt Lewis, Niki Russell, Stuart Tait and Dan Williamson.

Summer House @ Castlefield Gallery: Malgras|Naudet

24/09/2010

The artists who have come together for this project will link Castlefield Gallery with an artist led space in Monterrey, Mexico, transforming both spaces into franchises of the commercial art gallery Malgras|Naudet. The artists will begin by using shamanic Mexican ceremonies to bring Malgras and Naudet to life from the pages of Zola’s novel The Masterpiece before turning the galleries in to temporary homes for their dealerships. The project will culminate in the presentation of the works made in an exhibition entitled The American Trick in which one work will hang illuminated, elevating its status above that of the others in the space.

Malgras|Naudet Launch Event: Thursday 7 October, 6-8pm – ALL WELCOME
