NIFTY went well

we had our prvate view on wednesday and it was amazing. great turnout, a good vibe and a lot of good feedback. here are some shots of the show. enjoy!

Press release is out!

we finally sent out the press release after amending it a hundred times. many things have to be considered and double checked before you click send. Having to change the location for a 3rd time is also fun, redrawing maps and rewriting texts. we are happy how it turned out.

Nifty exhibition at Arlington

After experiencing some difficulties getting a venue for our show we finally found a space that could not be better. Arlington. This impressive building is over hundred years old and has recently been refurbished. Nifty is the first exhibition held in Arlington and will hopefully be a great success.


Thanks again to Carolyn and one housing group for the opportunity to show our work in such a great space.
 

 

currently used as a storing space. not for much longer:)


some info on Arlington:

Launched in 2010, Arlington is taking a revolutionary approach to tackling homelessness in the UK. Learning from the Times Square model pioneered by Common Ground in New York, Arlington is a stimulating mixed community of high quality accommodation for homeless people, social enterprises, growing businesses and low rent accommodation for young professionals or other low income workers. Arlington provides a home environment for residents, integrating them within the community and providing the opportunity for real independence for the socially excluded. Located in Camden, Arlington is managed by One Housing Group and customers are referred through Camden Council's Hostels Pathway programme.

Nifty is an exhibition featuring static and kinetic Sculptures by artists Stuart Bolin and Alexander Berchert. Displaying a wide variety of media and techniques, this exhibition will surprise, entertain and incorporate the viewer to create a truly unique experience.

The Private View will take place at Arlington, 220 Arlington Road, Camden Town NW1 7HE 6.30 – 10.00 pm 30 November 2011.

The first exhibition created and curated by these artists aims to be a spectacular event drawing the viewer into a world of light, sound, textures and colour. Both artists have created sophisticated works that incorporate various techniques and materials that range from wood and plaster to vacuum cleaners and xylophones.

Stuart Bolin attempts to capture a snapshot of a moment in time, the use of combined elements of pose, movement and scale transform the viewing experience into something slightly skewed. The use of classic tools and methods juxtapose the old with new through various modes of representation giving a heightened sense of surrealism to the work.

Alexander Berchert is specializing in combining household items, mass-produced objects and mechanisms in unusual ways to change their primary function. His aim is to highlight different interesting properties of these objects and give them a new purpose.
