Ongoing series using dirty water (from cleaning gallery & museum floors) as paint to cover their white walls

Series of performance action paintings consisting of cleaning a gallery floor and wiping the dirt on to the gallery walls. Various venues including The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art

February 1 – March 24, 2013

This group exhibition featuring a new generation of British artists diversely posits a schism between the Modern and Contemporary through the spectacle of redevelopment, urban shrines, sexuality, and celebrity culture. With allusions to the grotesquely beautiful and exploring the darker side of kitsch, Are You Alright? reveals a trend of disillusionment with contemporary British society. Curated by Canadian artist Derek Mainella and British artist Elizabeth Eamer, the works in this exhibition emerge from the darkness as a unique articulation in art itself, granting passage to coherence by virtue of a kind of introspection that is anything but Postmodern. Yet somehow, among the splenetic observations of the mores and fascinations in contemporary life, the work may also be seen as a kind of paean to art as cultural critic. These artists, in whatever way they may be affected by the cultural environment, no longer seek to simply expose the external elements, they seem to express an interest in how these external elements are revealed in the work – either through process or concept. Following the YBAs, this next generation of artists work with their own hand – there are no armies of art-slaves under their charge. Instead, we see a collection of artists working obsessively in quiet studios, diligently researching and examining strategies of expression in art history and redeploying them in a complex response to the assault of contemporary culture.

Boo Saville/ Caroline Achaintre/ Clem Crosby/ Dawn Mellor/ Elizabeth Eamer/ Graham Dolphin/ Harry Burden/ James Unsworth/ Jonathan Baldock/ Justin Mortimer/ Laura Oldfield Ford/ Tom Gidley

Collected ceramic vases, 3D printed Z-corp powder doubles, Absolute Purpeleen paint, Size varies, 2015

“This work explores the capacity for the transition of objects from the virtual world to the physical world. Inexpensive vases, purchased from Ebay, listed as ‘broken, damaged or chipped’. The original owners still felt they retained some value even though these objects were visibly cracked and damaged. Once they were acquired by the artist, Burden digitally scanned the objects, 3-D printing in z-corp powder copies or doubles of the ‘original’ which were then refined and sprayed in a ‘digital’ chromatic paint. Burden is interested in the transitional aspects of a 3-D physical experience of the world to a virtual 2-D online experience and presents works that play with the contradictions involved. He often uses objects and their digital reproductions found on the internet to create works that play with this duality of experience and its effect on culture, perception and identity.” Studio Leigh catalogue text 2015
