An Indecisive Moment

15 - 29 January

Blenheim Walk

The genre of "documentary photography" is currently in a state of flux and the criteria that once defined it are no longer observed or current. Bresson's Decisive Moment has been reinvented and Martin Parr has recently encouraged photographers working in this field to "get modern". What he meant by this has been widely interpreted.

An Indecisive Moment is a selection of work made by Year Two students on the FD/BA Photography course.

B. Kitaj, Allen Jones, Howard Hodgkin, Clive Barker and Patrick Caulfield.

Kate Wickham

27 November - 15 January

Originally from Sheffield, Kate Wickham studied at Camberwell College of Art and the Royal College of Art, and now lives and works in Sussex. She makes hand built painterly vessel forms exploring a number of ideas and themes - landscapes, domestic interiors, seascapes, through abstraction and symbolism, and through the use of colour, texture and mark making. Both drawing and painting inform the work.

Richard Long

Vernon Street

23 November - 31 December

This small display of work by Richard Long from the College collection includes prints, books, catalogues, ephemera and cards displayed in the library in the Vernon Street building.

BRUCE RIMELL- Modern Palaeolithic

10 November - 11 December

Modern Palaeolithic springs from Bruce Rimell's long-standing personal interest in Palaeolithic imagery and draws upon insights into the archetypal hunter-gatherer mode of life which forms the majority time-period of human evolution. Drawing from archaeological data, the findings of specialists such as Lewis-Williams and Henshilwood, and from personal visits to Palaeolithic sites such as Altamira, Ekain and Creswell Crags, this exhibition explores the experiental, mythical and cosmogonical motifs thought to have been understood by the cultures of the Upper Palaeolithic from the Atlantic coast of Western Europe to Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia.

Charlotte Lindsay

Stories from this Day

Vernon Street

19 October - 13 November

Originally from Cornwall, Charlotte Lindsay studied at Falmouth College of Art and Sheffield Hallam University before moving to London where she is currently based. "Stories from this Day" is an exhibition of recent work, including sculpture and prints, that interplays with the narrative of her paintings creating a world of suggested spaces, mutations and metamorphosis between man-made and natural environments.

John Latham

Britannica

Blenheim Walk

19 October - 23 October

John Latham, 1921 - 2006, was born in Rhodesia, studeid at Chelsea Schhol of Art and taught at St. Martin's School of Art. He founded the Artists Placement Group (APG) in 1968 and his filmmaking began in 1960 with Unedited Material From Star but developed to embrace collaborative works with the Event Structure Research Group, abstract animation in the 1960's, and works made for television in the 1990's.

Britannica is concerned with information, in particular our ability to read and digest the knowledge stored in the multi-volume encyclopaedia is challenged by Latham's acceleration of time - his other major preoccupation - through film animation.

Samuel Fisher

Taxonomy

Blenheim Walk

19 October - 6 November

Leeds Artist Samuel Fisher studied architecture at the University of Cambridge and his primary interest lies in architecture being commoditised for investment vehicles reducing buildings to the lowest common denominator; homogenous spaces of consumption, production or transit. Partly inspired by the geometries of Islamic art, his photoconstructed works capture stages of construction that act as brief moments of redemption before the buildings relapse into a mundane state for the remainder of their lives. Other work focuses upon abandoned buildings from the mid twentieth century and low-technology represented as a form of heightened beauty.

Kelly Cumberland

Apoptosis Verto

The Atrium Gallery, St James's University Hospital

29 September 2009 - 6 January 2010

Kelly Cumberland's work explores the change and removal, growth and deterioration of the life and nature of a virus. Installations and objects demonstrate how something seemingly delicate and insubstantial can overwhelm its environment; whilst dissested drawings, cloth and paper works represent the paradoxical fragility and strength of microbiological and electronic structures.

Currently working with the Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (HMDS) at St James Hospital in Leeds, she has been investigating Programmed Cell Death, which is one of the most important biological processes. These complex scientific ideas will be communicated through an 11 metre wall drawing in the Atrium Gallery, Bexley Wing, St James's University Hospital, Leeds.

Omar Kashoura

Omar Kashoura studied at Leeds College of Art, the London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martin’s School of Art and Design.

In 2005 he was awarded the prize of Best International Menswear Designer at New York’s Gen Art Style Awards and began his working career at London based fashion house Preen where he remained for a period of 7 seasons as well as securing a consulting position at the fast developing label Unconditional for a period of 4 seasons. His own label Omar Kashoura has developed into an easily recognisable brand.

This display of photographs on the ground floor at Blenheim Walk demonstrates his unique talent.

Jude Lin

Until 20 November














I paint to tell a story. I paint and then I paint and then I paint some more

This installation by Jude Lin, a recent graduate from Leeds College of Art, is made up of six art pieces and aims to disrupt and deconstruct the expectations of what a painting is. The paintings in the exhibition don’t hang on the wall but stand on plinths.

You can peep inside some of these uncanny objects, though others will not allow it. Their surfaces are scuffed, punctured and scarred as if marked with visible evidence of time passed, memories held and history captured.

Accompanying each artwork is its individual title which further enriches the overall narrative of the work.

Marisol Cavia

Until 16 October - Blenheim Walk

Marisol Cavia was born in Spain, and has been living and working in London since 1973. She studied languages in Bilbao and later studied drawing and sculpture at the School of Liberal Arts in Surrey and ceramics at the University of Westminster.
She has exhibited widely in both museums and private galleries in the UK, Spain, Germany, Italy and the USA. Her work involves ceramics, installation, sculpture, photography, video and performance.

ex

Until 2 October

ex is an annual show profiling a selection of artists at the beginning of their careers who have recently graduated. All the artists taking part completed their foundation course at Leeds College of Art and the exhibition highlights the quality and range of work being produced on some of Britain's leading fine art degrees. The exhibition celebrates relationships formed whilst studying on the foundation course and reconnects artists, now based in other cities, with each other, with Leeds and with the College.

Jake and Dinos Chapman

Until 11th October















My Giant Colouring Book

Jake and Dinos Chapman are two of Britain's most inventive and subversive artists. My Giant Colouring Book appears to be seething with grotesque imagery, yet on closer inspection the images are surprisingly innocuous and are rich in art-historical allusions, from medieval images of hell and damnation to Picasso, Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism.

My Giant Colouring Book is a touring exhibition developed by the Hayward Gallery and the Arts Council England.
