Artist Resource Picks of Upcoming Events:
CURIOUS PROJECTS-Artist Talk– Candida Powell-Williams
Friday 3 July 2015, 7pm, Free.
London-based artist Candida Powell-Williams will talk about her installation at the Curious Projects gallery, 'A Vernacular History Starting With The Golden Rhubarb' – from previous incarnations of the work, to the installation at Curious Projects and how it how it might further evolve in any future settings.
'A Vernacular History Starting With The Golden Rhubarb' is a site-specific sculptural work that explores the fetishism of anthropological objects.

Last year she was invited to create an installation for the Hayward Gallery's Concrete Cafe and had a solo show at BosseandBaum in London. More information on our website: http://www.curious-projects.co.uk/events.html
FABRICA-The hopes in which we worked: UK artists in Palestine, Thursday 9 July from 7pm.
The title of this Round Table has been taken from Lawrence of Arabia’s (T.E. Lawrence) memoirs, as he reflected on the highs and lows of his work in the Middle East. Documenting others in another culture holds a multitude of ethical and practical complexities, and T.E Lawrence became a representative of Arab voices to the UK with mixed results. Nearly a century later, UK foreign policy has changed the face of the Middle East, and in particular the fate of Palestine.
How then, are British artists approaching the visual representation the ‘other’ in such a disputed space? This round table brings together artists that have each used diverse methods to communicate something of life and people in the region, to present their work and discuss the complexities of working in Palestine.
Judy Price Judy Price’s films and installations engage with the spatial, social and historical contexts of specific sites. Judy lectures at the University of Brighton and is also currently a visiting lecturer at the International Academy of Arts, Palestine. She is currently completing a practice led PhD at the University of Creative Arts, where she was awarded a studentship.
Corinne Silva London-based artist Corinne Silva’s practice explores the use of the still and moving image in suggesting metaphysical space. Her quiet, meditative visual language engages with the potentials and restrictions of lens-based media and the evolving relationship between politics, landscape and art histories.
Lydia Cohen Artist Lydia Cohen was born to a British mother and an Israeli father, and the primary concern with in her artistic practice is the racial representation of the self within a wider social and political context. Her work aims to identify the relationship between representation, identification and placing the self in relation to a physical landscape.
Joy StaceyJoy Stacey is a lens-based artist and curator whose work and research explores the visual representation of those lacking political representation. Stacey has developed her work in the West Bank over the past five years, currently focusing on the use of Palestinian dress and heritage as a tool for cultural resistance. Stacey is a PhD candidate at the University of Sussex with an AHRC Studentship.
The discussion will be chaired by Edwin Coomasaru. To book visit: eventbrite
