Paul Ryan Manual Setting In Manual Setting visitors leaf through sketchbooks together with exhibitors: artists, scientists and writers. This enacts the viewing of a notebook as a hand-held, shared and performative activity. Who is revealed during this process of showing and being shown? An enquiry is made concerning intimacy and the border between personal and private, as well as the provisionally sketched and the finished. Books can often only be exhibited in cases, boxes or frames one page at a time. Handling the sketchbook/notebook repairs the loss of human contact with these objects. There can be a reconciliation with the manual practice of showing to others, activating lively discussion between maker and audience. In the house/gallery setting, several people who keep notebooks will be situated around the building. These include Dino Alfier, Eleanor Bowen and Paul Ryan (who co-curated this project with Danielle Arnaud), as well as a changing list of invited guests: see below for guests on each day. Manual Setting takes place from 2-5pm and 6-9pm on the following dates: Friday 28 January: Hephzibah Rendle-Short Wednesday 2 February: Anne Lydiat Saturday 5 February: Archaeology day - Martyn Barber (Aerial Survey, English Heritage), Helen Wickstead (Archeology Professor, Kingston University) and Simon Callery Sunday 6 February: Science Sunday - Keith Moore (Royal Society) and Christine Hatt Tuesday 8 February: Paul Meade followed by fundraising event for local drawing project led by Paul Ryan Friday 11 February: Ivan Cartwright and Nick Bullions (Campaign for Drawing) Dino Alfier Dino Alfier is an artist whose work focuses on drawing. He studied art and art history at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, and pursued an MA in painting at the University of the Arts London, where he is currently undertaking an art practice-led PhD that employs drawing within a metaethical framework by addressing French philosopher Simone Weil�s ethical notion of attention. His research considers how Weil�s notion of attention can expand the scope of art so as to include metaethics; and one of the strategies he uses to pursue this aim is to invite an interpretation of his observational drawings as representing an intention to develop an attitude of detachment. Even though Dino has been using and exhibiting sketchbooks for several years, it is only through his research that he has come to realise how they may embody a certain ethics of drawing: namely, drawing as action, or attempt, rather than as independent result. Eleanor Bowen Eleanor Bowen studied painting at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts, subsequently holding an Abbey Major Scholarship at the British School at Rome. She supported a visual arts practice for a number of years, until a drawing residency with the RSC, and a drawing/dance teaching collaboration, led her to take an MA in Visual Arts and Theatre at Wimbledon School of Art, followed by a practice-based PhD. Paul Ryan Paul Ryan's work is held in the collections of The British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Mint and The Wellcome Trust: the venue for his solo exhibition Rebound in October 2007. Recent drawing collaborations include: Epstein�s Liverpool for Tate Liverpool, and Portrait of John Hough for London�s Pocket Tube Map, both with Jeremy Deller, also White Flag Editions with Kate Davis. His work Studio in your Pocket was included in The Artist�s Studio at Compton Verney, where he is now curating a major exhibition bringing contemporary artists' interventions into the collection of British Folk Art, What the Folk Say. In 2009 Paul Ryan completed a practice led PhD on The Sketchbook and its Positions in the Hierarchies of Making, Collecting and Exhibiting. www.paulryan.co.uk NEXT: CONDENSATION Annie Attridge, Jonathan Baldock, Sarah Gillham, Anthea Hamilton, Eri Itoi, Mindy Lee, Paul Westcombe 25 February - 27 March 2011 ANNIE WHILES: 8 April - 15 May 2011 TESSA FARMER: 20 May - 26 June 2011 For more information and images please contact Danielle Arnaud at [email protected] Danielle Arnaud 123 Kennington Road London SE11 6SF UK t/f +44(0) 207 735 8292 Fri, Sat & Sun 2-6pm (or by appointment) |
