BEE BOX
Anne Brody
Bishop's Square, Spitalfields
Brushfield Street, London, E1 6AA
1 September - 1 November 2011
The first public art exhibition held simultaneously across eight countries in Europe focuses on relations between art, science and society. As the UK representative, Anne Brodie, presents her artwork, BEE BOX, for the first time.
The BEE BOX reminds us of the invisible disappearance of our
pollinators. Bees, like us, form communities of workers capable of generating intelligent social interactions. Brodie offers a poetic reflection on the fragility of these communities. The project is organised by the European Public Art Centre (EPAC), a collaborative engagement between organisations across Europe with the aim to exhibit art-science artworks in urban outdoor public settings. The other countries are Latvia, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Iceland, Estonia and Poland.
In 2006/07 Anne was awarded an Antarctic international fellowship sponsored by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and Arts Council England, and spent 3 months working in the Antarctic. She continues her creative investigation on the human/environmental interface with scientists at BAS and the University of Surrey.

Spaghetti Junctions
Christina Hemauer and Roman Keller
Cubitt Gallery
8 Angel Mews, London, N1 9HH
16 April - 29 May 2011
Cubitt Gallery presents Spaghetti Junctions, the first UK solo exhibition by Swiss artists Christina Hemauer and Roman Keller. Through video, sculptural-recreation, text and archive material the artists explore two short-lived experiments with solar energy, both marking points of change or crisis in the history of oil consumption.
Sun of 1913 (2009) looks back to the first commercial-scale solar power plant, built in 1913, in Egypt under British mandate, by American engineer Frank Shuman. For a short period solar was the most economical form of power generation, cheaper than shipping coal from Britain. However, the plant ceased operation after one year, when at the onset of World War I the British Government began mass-scale crude oil production in Iran, precipitating a widespread turn to oil. The fate of Shuman’s solar plant is told through a narrative written with Egyptian writer Wageh George. A video projection shows two segments of the plant being reconstructed in Cairo by the artists and craftsmen.
A Curiosity, a Museum Piece and an Example of a Road not Taken (2006-2007) investigates former American president Jimmy Carter’s pioneering but ultimately futile energy programme. It culminated in his symbolic solar installation on the White House roof during the 1979 energy crisis, which was removed by the Ronald Regan administration.

Building Green
Radar at Loughborough University
May - November 2010
Building Green explores issues around sustainability and food production and consists of three new commissions by major artists, Amy Franceschini / Myriel Milicevic (Futurefarmers), Rebecca Beinart and Nils Norman.
These artists / provocateurs use their work to channel concerns about the need to sustain a global ecological balance using seemingly commonplace processes such as gardening, building and food production.
Each Artist is using the environment of Loughborough University as the platform for their work. FutureFarmers are cultivating a plot of land. Beinart is finding and using natural yeasts that exist around the campus and town, and Norman is creating a permanent structure from recycled materials. All three pieces will develop over the summer and come to fruition in October 2010.
Hydrarchy: Power and Resistance at Sea
Gasworks, London
18 September - 7 November 2010
Hydrarchy: Power and Resistance at Sea is a group exhibition that approaches historical and contemporary examinations of the sea and the offshore as contested cultural, political, legal and socio-economic territories. Focusing on specific events, situations and mythologies attached to past and recent maritime history, the works address power relations at sea and the forms of resistance and survival developed as a response.
The exhibition brings together artists whose work explores themes encompassing colonialism and the slave trade, commerce, sea tourism and offshore finance, as well as maritime folk history, piracy and the proverbially tyrannical figure of the captain. While not always explicitly referenced in the works, the ship, as the ultimate container and enabler of these activities, histories and relations, stands as the unifying element of the exhibition. The artists are: Mathieu K. Abonnenc, Goldin+Senneby, Laura Horelli, Melanie Jackson, Anja Kirschner and David Panos, Paul McCarthy, Uriel Orlow, Femmy Otten, Christodoulos Panayiotou, João Pedro Vale.

Turbulences
a moved wind exhibition
near Hesse, Germany
15 - 29 August 2010
This year's exhibition by bewegter-wind (moved wind) is on the theme of 'Turbulence', and will be held on locations around Hesse Germany. Artists working with wind objects, installations, performances and landart have been selected from a competition. From the exhibition organisers: Turbulences are meetings of unordered currents. A dynamic turbulence is the swirling of a current in the meteorological and in the metaphorical sense. They stand for fast changing situations. This is also a metaphor for the aspects of the communication of winds in the the world. Turbulences can be both: a threat and a chance, upswing or crash.
moved wind have, since 2004, held annual exhibitions of wind art. 'Wind is the only element, which is not visible and is only noticed through the relationship with the other elements. It is a phenomenon and a symbol for spirit. Each landscape is shaped by it, each culture is affected by it. Its play with high and low pressure is a metaphor for communication in the back and forth of the winds of the world. These various aspects of an invisible phenomenon occupies artists world-wide' bewegter-wind.de
A Horse walks into a Bar
Castlefield Gallery, Manchester
18 June - 8 Aug 2010
This group exhibition examines the parameters of human and animal characteristics and question the evolution of the human race. Some of the work blurs the boundaries between nostalgia and abhorrence, referencing the use of animals in the entertainment industry, whilst other work references animals in heraldic, mythological stories. Conventions in visual art practice are also deliberated, highlighting the inter-dependence of living beings in a contemporary world, these range from the allegorical use of animals in traditional regal portraiture to other works that alter our perception of sculpture by fusing animal imagery with mass produced objects. The exhibition can be seen as reflective of our increasingly uneasy relationship with the natural world that is tainted with confusion, contradiction and confrontation and will oscillate between the playful, sinister, surreal and controversial. The artists included are: Corey Arnold, Richard Billingham, Andrew Bracey, Lorraine Burrell, Maddi Nicholson, Dan Staincliffe, Chiz Turnross, UHC and Mark Wallinger. www.castlefieldgallery.co.uk
Uneven Geographies: Art and Globalisation
Nottingham Contemporary
8 May - 4 July 2010
A group exhibition, Uneven Geographies brings together artists who aim to represent the fabric of lives affected by global flows, rather than capturing the instant, sensational journalistic image. Whether using film, installation or sculpture, or experimenting with maps, flow-charts and diagrams, all aim to make the networks of power, profit and exploitation very visible.
The artists included are:
Éduardo Abaroa, Azzellini & Ressler, Yto Barrada, Ursula Biemann, Bureau d’Études, Öyvind Fahlström, Goldin + Senneby, Mark Lombardi, Steve McQueen, Cildo Meireles, George Osodi, Bruno Serralongue, Mladen Stilinovic, Yang Zhenzhong.

Stuart Whipps - New Wooabbeleri
Focal Point Gallery, Southend Central Library
17 May - 3 July 2010
New Wooabbeleri is an analysis of how the local conurbation of Thamesmead received its name, and by implication, how large developments sometimes rely on chance and spurious encounters, as much as clearly defined parameters and plans. Stuart Whipps became interested in the history of Thamesmead after investigating its uncertain origins. Known in its early days as 'The Woolwich-Erith Riverside Project', it needed a clearly identifiable moniker, so a 'name the new town' competition was launched in November 1966. In all, there were 565 entries and 'Thamesmead' was finally chosen in March 1967. The site which remains the largest geographical location designated for regeneration in Europe. The project aims to address how sometimes random and indiscriminate historical facts can affect the imagination of local communities. It suggests that, if certain plans are always open to interpretation, then perhaps it's responsible for each of us to try and take control of how our environment is shaped, and be actively involved in injecting our surroundings with meaning and potential for the future. www.focalpoint.org.uk

Psychopomp
Marcus Coates
Milton Keynes Gallery
Milton Keynes
15 January - 4 April 2010
This exhibition is the first survey of Marcus Coates’ work in a public gallery in the UK and it includes early film pieces, sculpture, sound, costumes and photographs as well as new work.
Coates often assumes the identity of an animal, such as a fox, goshawk or stoat, by simulating its appearance, enacting its habits and appropriating its language. In the film, Stoat (1999), for example, Coates totters around on ramshackle platforms, learning to recreate the animals’ bounding movements; in Goshawk (1999), a telephoto lens captures the artist as a rare bird perched precariously at the top of a tree; while in Finfolk (2003), the artist emerges from the North Sea spluttering a new dialect, as spoken by seals.
Coates has also trained as a shaman and the exhibition includes films of his rituals, where he achieves a trance-like state and communes with the animal kingdom to address social issues.

Royal Academy of Arts and GSK Contemporary
3 December 2009 - 31 January 2010
A collaboration between the Royal Academy of Art and GSK Contemporary 2009 (sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline), Earth Art of a Changing World sets out to consider the impact of climate change on the practice of a broad range of contemporary artists, working in a wide-variety of media. Some of the artists featured are involved in the issue directly. For others, it has an indirect resonance with their work. The sections of the exhibition are:
Introduction
An introduction to the key factors that make up the natural world our cultural relationship to earth’s stability, the section includes Works by Ackroyd & Harvey, Spencer Finch, Mona Hatoum and Marcos Lutyens & Alessandro Marianantoni.
Perceived Reality
Showing representations of the world as we imagine it today, the section includes works by Antti Laitinen and Edward Burtynsky.

At the centre of the exhibition, this section is about the role of the artist as communicator, reflector and interpreter of key issues of their day. The artists include Sophie Calle, Lucy & Jorge Orta, Cornelia Parker, the poet Lemn Sissay and Shiro Takatani.
Destruction
This section will consider the consequences of human behaviour through natural disasters and physical collapse, counterpoising the beauty of the planet with the damage that is being inflicted upon it.
The New (Reality)
This section shows how the world and the sense of beauty is being re-defined by the impact of climate change.
This change has fostered new notions of care and empathy for habitats, for bio-diversity and a new sense of a shared emotional understanding. Artists include the writer, Ian McEwan, Mariele Neudecker and Emma Wieslander. Photo above is of '400 Thousand Generations', by Mariele Neudecker, 2009. Photo courtesy and © the artist.

Dark Places uncovers sites of secrecy and technology across Britain. Commissioned by The Arts Catalyst and co-curated with the Office of Experiments, SCAN and the John Hansard Gallery, the exhibition presents new artists' works that explore spaces and institutions below the radar of common knowledge.
The Office of Experiments' (OOE) Overt Research Project sets a background by mapping and recording advanced labs and facilities that are unwittingly or purposefully concealed from public view. OOE also brings together The Mike Kenner Archive, revealing years of campaigning by one man into the public biochemical warfare experiments conducted by Porton Down (Salisbury).
Victoria Halford and Steve Beard's film Voodoo Science Park traces a secret geography of the Health and Safety Laboratory in Derbyshire, where train crashes and industrial accidents are re-created to examine their destructive pathways. The film imagines a delayed encounter between poet William Blake and political philosopher Thomas Hobbes, drawing affinities to this unique site.
Beatriz da Costa's A Memorial for the Still Living is a sombre reflection on endangered species of the British Isles. Presenting a selection of rare animal, insect and reptile specimens, including loans from the Natural History and Horniman Museums, da Costa identifies these collections and the bleak future they imply as 'dark places' of zoological science.
Steve Rowell, a collaborator with the US-based group the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI), in his solo project Ultimate High Ground UK, uncovers shared US-UK spaces of military power. Realised as a multiscreen video installation, the work focuses upon RAF Menwith Hill, North Yorkshire, a satellite ground station and
communications intercept site, known for its distinctive radome structures.

Anthem
Beth Derbyshire
with Ulrike Haage
opening performance: 14 November - 9 December 2009
Mediterranean Biome at the Eden Project, Cornwall
The Eden Project and Cape Farewell present the premiere of Beth Derbyshire's film work, Anthem, with music by composer Ulrike Haage. Anthem is a trilogy of films with a choral component, exploring notions of land, place and nation.
Anthem assembles ideas around nationality, identity and language using the symbols of landscape and song to explore our cultural relationship to landscape. Song and landscape have long been associated with expressions on nation. Derbyshire borrows from sources such as national anthems, ancient land names and etymology to capture cultural and natural settings, to explore the connections between people and landscape through balancing components of voice, music, word and image.
Anthem was filmed in Newfoundland, the UK and in the Arctic during the Cape Farewell research expedition of 2007. www.bethderbyshire.com

Nostalgia
by Omer Fast
South London Gallery
7 October - 6 December 2009
Judgement Day struck in 1980 and the world has been mired in a second Dark Ages since. Northern Europe is a wasteland and Britain has become a barren backwater where nomadic tribes roam across the dunes and raid one another for depleted resources. The only steady export from this once fabled island are migrants, who desperately stream across the European mainland in hope of a more peaceful and prosperous future in Africa.
The South London Gallery presents 'Nostalgia', a three-part film installation by Omer Fast. One film depicts a migrant from a dystopian Britain seeking asylum in Africa. Adapted from a true story, this narrative is presented alongside an extract of original footage and a dramatisation of an encounter between the artist and a person seeking asylum in Britain. In a third story, in a west African colony increasingly hostile to Britons seeking a better life, an asylum-seeker is interrogated as to the whereabouts of a tunnel used to smuggle people into the colony. He is offered a deal by the authorities and must choose between betraying his friends and securing his future.
Fast's film and video work, often shown as installations on multiple screens, takes contemporary issues or historic moments as their points of departure, meshing narrative, documentary and dramatic content.
'Nostalgia' is co-produced by the South London Gallery; the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive; and the Verein der Freunde der Nationalgalerie, Berlin. www.southlondongallery.org

Gustav Metzger: Decades 1959–2009
Serpentine Gallery, London
This major exhibition of work by the influential artist and activist Gustav Metzger, examines his life-long exploration of politics, ecology and the destructive powers of 20th-century society. Metzger’s career has spanned over 60 years and this is the most extensive survey of his work to be shown in the UK.
The exhibition draws together the themes and methodologies that have informed the London-based artist’s practice from 1959 until the present day. The broad cross-section of works on view include Metzger’s auto-destructive and auto-creative works of the 1960s, such as his pioneering liquid crystal projections; the ongoing Historic Photographs series, which responds to major events and catastrophes; and later works exploring ecological issues, globalisation and commercialisation. Film footage of seminal performances and actions are exhibited, as well as a new, participative installation using the archive of newspapers Metzger has been collecting since 1995. www.serpentinegallery.org

Conceptual in her approach, she is also innovative and experimental, creating modular and transformable objects such as wearable shelters, survival kits, giant dinner parties and mobile kitchens that are both functional and utopian. www.plymouthartcentre.org

Radical Nature: Art and Architecture for a Changing Planet 1969–2009
Barbican Art Gallery, London
19 June - 18 October 2009
Radical Nature is the first exhibition to bring together key figures across different generations who have created utopian works and inspiring solutions for our ever-changing planet.
Radical Nature draws on ideas that have emerged out of Land Art, environmental activism, experimental architecture and utopianism. The exhibition is designed as one fantastical landscape, with each piece introducing into the gallery space a dramatic portion of nature. Work by pioneering figures such as the architectural collective Ant Farm and visionary architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, artists Joseph Beuys, Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson are shown alongside pieces by a younger generation of practitioners including Heather and Ivan Morison, R&Sie(n), Philippe Rahm architects and Simon Starling. Radical Nature also features specially commissioned and restaged historical installations, some of which are located in the outdoor spaces around the Barbican while a satellite project by the architectural collective EXYZT is situated off site. www.barbican.org.uk

INTERSPECIES
Arts Catalyst, with Nicolas Primat, Antony Hall, Kira O'Reilly, Ruth Maclennan, Beatriz da Costa, Rachel Mayeri
1 - 4 October 2009
A Foundation's Rochelle School, Shoreditch, London, UK
Interspecies uses artistic strategies to stimulate dialogue about the way we view the relationship between human and non-human animals. All the artists in Interspecies question the one-sided manipulation of non-human life forms for art. They try instead to absorb the animal's point of view as a fundamental part of their work and practice.
There have been many examples in history of 'living art', where artists have manipulated the actions of swarms of bees, herded sheep, commanded dogs and sent rats down mazes. But can artists work with animals as equals? What does this mean to how we humans see ourselves as just one species inhabiting a planet in crisis?
The family day, Sunday 4 October, will give people a chance to see artists in contact with animals. Performance artist Kira O'Reilly will be Falling asleep with a pig, called Deliah, and Antony Hall's Enki Experiment 4 will invite visitors to communicate with an electric fish. During the afternoon, parents and children can take part in a series of free events: Becoming Bowerbirds
Children and parents are invited to be a bowerbird for the afternoon with artist Sally Hampson.
Interspecies Tales
Poet and storyteller Shamim Azad uses aspects of the Asian folk and oral traditions, with chant and body movement, poems, percussion instruments, tabla and songs.
Animal Handler’s Tales
Broadcaster and trainer of the owls used in the first Harry Potter movie, James Mackay talks about his work as 'The Animal Man' with exhibition curator Rob La Frenais.
The exhibition was first shown at the Cornerhouse, Manchester.

Is society itself becoming unsustainable? From FACT's website:
'The 21st century has finally hit and there is an energy in the air - how do you respond? Forget the eco-art and bring on local, national and international debates, actions, contexts, struggles and solutions'.

Nicolas Primat, INTERSPECIES
|
The Arts Catalyst exhibition, Interspecies: artists collaborating with animals consisted of new commissions and existing works by artists working closely with different species of animals, stimulated by the anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. All the artists questioned the one-sided manipulation of non-human life forms for art. They tried to absorb the animal's point of view as a fundamental part of their work and practice. The newly commissioned works are by Nicolas Primat, Kira O'Reilly, Antony Hall and Ruth Maclennan. The other pieces are by Rachel Mayeri, Beatriz Da Costa and Kathy High.
Kira O'Reilly presented an action/installed performance featuring herself and a sleeping female pig. The work addressed the ethics of human and non-human animal interaction.
Antony Hall encouraged the public to directly communicate with live electric fish in the gallery space, through mild electrical impulses both tactile and visual.
Ruth Maclennan's 'The Department of Eagles' examined the relationship between falcons and falconers, and its association with human surveillance.
Two existing works were also shown in the touring exhibition: Rachel Mayeri's 'Primate Cinema', which casts human actors in the role of mating non-human primates; and Beatriz Da Costa's 'PigeonBlog' which investigates the military use of homing pigeons. The exhibition opens at the Cornerhouse, Manchester, and will tour to Edinburgh, Northumberland and London.

The South London Gallery presented a new film work by the Danish collective Superflex entitled Flooded McDonald's.
In the film, a life-size replica of the interior of a McDonalds burger bar, without any customers or staff present, gradually floods with water. Furniture is lifted up by the water, trays of food and drinks start to float around, electrics short circuit and eventually the space becomes completely submerged. This is the first solo exhibition by Superflex in in London. Over the past 15 years, Superflex's work has included large-scale installations, long-term process-based projects and, more recently, films.

Alan Warburton - the Fruits of Conversation
The Shop, Cambridge
8 - 20 December 2008
The Fruits of Conversation was a community collaboration in which residents of Cambridge worked together to dissect local issues - using apples. In the spirit of his project Cutting the Melon, which documented how ordinary Venezuelans used melons to explain politics, Alan Warburton and his team asked Cambridge residents to do the same with local apples.
After a trip to an orchard to collect apples, the group (which included university geneticists, a food historian, community workers, civil servants and a police officer) were asked to cut, core and peel their apples to explain their opinions on a range of political topics. The conversations were documented in detail by the artist, and the resulting exhibition displays video and photographic evidence of the process. The subject matter shows how Cambridge residents attempt to articulate the personality of a changing British city. More information on www.criticalnetwork.co.uk

NUCLEAR: Art and Radioactivity
Arts Catalyst and SCAN commissions
Nicholls & Clarke building, Shoreditch, London
14-16, 20-23, 27-30 Nov 2008
Chris Oakley, 'Half Life', 2008
|
The Arts Catalyst and SCAN are presenting the results of new commissions from the artists Simon Hollington & Kypros Kyprianou and Chris Oakley, exploring the re-emerging concerns of nuclear power in the exhibition NUCLEAR: Art and Radioactivity. The exhibition and events explore the contradictions of nuclear power, as it has come to stand both for the failed utopian promises of modernism and a fresh hope for a carbon-free future.
Simon Hollington & Kypros Kyprianou's installation is the outcome from their residency at the British Atomic Nuclear Group, with an emphasis on the work the artists did as part of the wide-ranging public consultation process into siting a new nuclear power facility in the heart of London.
An examination of nuclear science research through a historical and cultural filter, Chris Oakley's film 'Half-Life' looks at the histories of Harwell, birthplace of the UK nuclear industry, and the development of fusion energy technology at the Culham facility in Oxfordshire.
Two events are included: A 'Talkaoke' event will be hosted by The People Speak 14 November at the Nicholls & Clarke building. A mobile chat-show, the format allows all visitors to comment on the work and the issues around it in an informal and entertaining way.
In partnership with the RSA’s Art & Ecology programme, The Arts Catalyst presents a day-long forum at the RSA on 28 November exploring the impact of nuclear power in art, culture and society. Prominent artists, writers and experts will discuss their work and engagement with issues around nuclear energy, from Hiroshima through the 50s’ ‘white heat of technology’ and Cold War nuclear tensions to present day energy debates. Speakers include the controversial American ‘nuclear sculptor’ James Acord. To register for the events, which are free, and for more information: admin@artscatalyst.org

Kielzog
6 June - 1 November 2008
Waterloopbos Forest, Netherlands
Could art change the climate?
With this question seventeen international artists were sent into the Waterloopbos, a forest in the Netherlands which has grown over the ruins of the former Hydrodynamic Laboratory.
In the outdoor laboratory, hydraulic engineers worked for several decades to find technical solutions for hydrodynamic problems all over the world. Kielzog asked artists to work amongst the ruins of the scale models of the laboratory, amongst overgrown sluices, harbours and river courses, on a new view of the Dutch battle against the water, and a creative view of climate change.
The forest is managed by the Nature Monument Association (Natuurmonumenten) and is accessible to the public.
