JERWOOD CONTEMPORARY MAKERS 2010 Exploring new perspectives in making 16 June� 25 July Morphing basket weave, a self-contained laundry and an over-sized charm bracelet are just some of the works that have been selected for the third and final Jerwood Contemporary Makers. This year�s exhibition will explore the notion of making from a variety of creative perspectives. Selectors Hans Stofer, Richard Slee and Freddie Robins � three of the most inventive names in the visual arts - have chosen 29 makers to take part, each of whom will exhibit one work and receive an equal share of a �30,000 prize fund. The 2010 Jerwood Contemporary Makers are: Laura Ellen Bacon / Chien-Wei Chang / David Clarke / Carl Clerkin / Julie Cooke / Robert Dawson / Nora Fok / David Gates / Joseph Harrington / Tony Hayward / David Rhys Jones / Kirsty MacDougall / Nicola Malkin / Taslim Martin / Flora McLean / Rowan Mersh / Gareth Neal / Karen Nicol / Heather Park / Lina Peterson / Laura Potter / Tomoaki Suzuki / Ingrid Tait / Marloes ten Bhomer / Maud Traon / Richard Wheater / Conor Wilson / Emma Woffenden / Dawn Youll The exhibition, designed by Michael Marriot, will take visitors on a visual journey through the different approaches to the art of making, highlighting its importance as a visual arts discipline. Jerwood Contemporary Makers is the UK�s only award for the applied arts and is a major strand of the Jerwood Visual Arts programme. Jerwood Contemporary Makers, was launched by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation in 2008 as a three-year exhibition series supporting and showcasing emerging creative talent. Each year, a different panel of selectors has curated the exhibition, inviting a group of makers to respond to a different guiding concept. Jerwood Contemporary Makers will be shown at the Jerwood Space, London, from17 June to 25 July before touring to Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, with IC: Innovative Craft. JERWOOD PROJECT SPACE Patrick Coyle up Project Space at Caf� 171, Jerwood Space Exhibition: 7 June � 24 July 2010 Open: Monday � Friday 9am�5pm, Saturday 11am�3pm For the exhibition up, Patrick Coyle explores the extent to which objects and images can resemble signs, and in this case, an arrow. Presented as a wall of inkjet prints on green A4 paper, Coyle�s research material is reassembled into an artwork that responds to the unique architecture of the Jerwood Project Space. Through investigating the semiotic significance of the arrow, Coyle attempts to find new meanings and reactivate old ones, intending the recurring motif to function both as a �conversation piece� for visitors to the Caf�, and as a reflection of his initial encounter with the space. As an extension of his research, Coyle would like to invite members of the public to attend one-to-one meetings with him in the Caf�, to exchange ideas and images that might arise from the display. Each meeting will influence the next, and the resulting material from these discussions will culminate in a radio presentation on Resonance 104.4FM during the final week of the exhibition.
