At the end of September I found out that my Chalk video had been selected for The London Group Open 2023 exhibition at Copeland Gallery. I had exhibited with the London Group before in their 2017 Open and enjoyed the experience. The fact this year’s exhibition is being held at the Copeland Gallery in Peckham is a bonus as it’s such a special place. I’m excited to see the works on display when it opens next month.
Leave to Remain: A Snapshot of Brexit
In mid-October at the London School of Economics, there was a talk and book launch for Leave to Remain: A Snapshot of Brexit, written by Noni Stacey and published by Lund Humphries. I went along and really enjoyed the evening and Noni’s conversation with LSE Professor Tony Travers. There were so many questions from the audience which showed how interested people are in the fall-out from Brexit and the ways in which artists have been responding to it. A few of the other contributors were present and it was lovely to finally meet in person.
Vanishing, 2023
October has been a good month for my new video, Vanishing. It is an Official Selection for the Cornwall Film Festival 2023 in the category, Experimental Film - Artist Moving Image and the festival takes place in November. I would love to be there as it sounds like a great festival. It’s been running 22 years and has Mike Leigh is its patron. Vanishing is also an Official Selection for the Cannes Continental Film Festival, which is an online festival.
