    Anne Issakson, one of the artists making her work in the Ceramics Studio Co-op is opening her show titled No (More) for 22 April – 24 April 2016 at Oxo Tower Wharf.

    An exhibition exploring a meeting between the minds of granddaughter, Anne Isaksson, and her late grandmother.

    Both artists, the duo will be represented in unique ways, the grandmother by her clothing and granddaughter by a set of ceramic bowls.

    This project was set out by both in end of life conversations and moulded from a vessel that was passed on from one to the other.

    The ceramic bowls represent values and themes they both worked with, to look outside their own circle to something shared.

  • Ernesto Torres: Dissenting Room

    Ernesto Torres presents

    Dissenting Room

    PV Thursday 12 November, 6-9pm

    Coinciding with simultaneous events occurring in London remembering the fifth anniversary of the students’ anti-fees protests, Dissenting Room is a space for expression, discussion and opinion.

    Over the last years, Europe has seen turmoil in society with protests and demonstrations against social, political and economical affairs. Masses of refugees come from the Middle East escaping war just to be stopped by a barbed wire, while seven years of cuts and austerity has encouraged the creation of social movements and waves of people trying to change their countries’ political climates and protect social rights.

    Ernesto’s works addresses these socio-political issues along with religious topics as well as larger legacies of memory and identity such as diaspora, globalisation and other forms of cultural integration.

    Drawing upon traditional craft techniques, Ernesto’s practice is an expanded practice based on the principle of site-specific installation and sculpture, combining ceramics and mixed media.

    Working with the idea of traditional tiling, some of his work has strong references to pop art, activist culture and iconography whereas other pieces portray a much more abstract and transcendental message, becoming a cross section of statements.
