Anne Issakson – No (More) 22 – 24 April
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.
Anne Isaksson was born 1972 in Goteborg, Sweden. Graduated from London School of Economics 1998 (BA Geography) and from University of East London 2014 (MA Fine Art) where she studied under Grenville Davey.
Anne has worked with social media and was part of setting up one of the first Avatar communities in 2000. She also has a degree in Architecture (BSc Architecture) from Royal School of Technology, Stockholm and University of East London, 2010. While being active in these other areas she has always been working on her own paintings and sculptures and attended many years of life drawing classes at Prince’s Drawing School. Throughout there has been a desire to work as an artist. Since 2012 Anne Isaksson has been working full time producing her own work.

Ernesto Torres: Dissenting Room
DISSENTING ROOM 12/11-15/11
Ernesto Torres presents
Dissenting Room
12-15 November 10-6pm
hARTs Lane Studios
PV Thursday 12 November, 6-9pmCoinciding 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.
