EXHIBITIONS IN 2000:
Exhibition
Eugene Palmer
New and Recent Work
Threshold Gallery, University of Bath
21 November - 18 December 2000
This exhibition brought together a body of new and recent work by the
London-based painter, Eugene
Palmer. Curated by Eddie Chambers,
the exhibition reflected the artist's continued interest in portraiture.
Over the years Palmer's work has featured multiple versions or 'copies'
of portraits of members of his family. One series focussed on the artist's
father; another series focused on one of his daughters. But these paintings
are much more than just personal studies. Instead, Palmer's work animates
intriguing questions of sameness, difference and identity.
Exhibition
Nicholas Lowe
'Coq-à-l'âin: From rooster to ass, a story of cock and bull'
Threshold Gallery, University of Bath
10 October - 6 November 2000
In
the work, Coq-à-l'âin, Nicholas
Lowe continues to explore questions of identity and sexuality. In previous
projects this has included visual explorations and debates on HIV and
AIDS, pornography, sex offence and serial murder. The work that was shown
in this exhibition addresses everyday subject matter through bawdy puppetry
and billingsgate humour, the unruly and unmannered popular genre of the
marketplace.
Lowe presents his ideas via a range of Rabelaisian narratives employing
genres drawn from both 'high' and 'low' cultural forms. This work sets
out to seduce and shock, engage and challenge.

Exhibition
Jane Calow
Dead Sea: The Salt Documents
Library, University of Bath
23 March - 9 April 2000
Jane Calow, Pillar
This work was non-permanent and site-specific. While at first glance
it may appear that the work has its roots in minimalist sculpture, the
materials, such as old clothing and blankets, graphite dust, salt, old
books and sand offer a more subtle range of readings. Her work explores
memory and association. The pieces, Dead Sea - The
Salt Documents and Sub Terra in different
ways, consider the idea of submerged terrain and displacement. Her work
was on exhibition in conjunction with a one-day
symposium Space, Architecture and Psyche.
Exhibition
Rozie Keogh & Sadie Christian
Myth & Material
Threshold Gallery, University of Bath
29 February -15 March 2000
Rozie Keogh (left), Sadie Christian
The work of Contemporary Craft Artist Rozie Keogh is witty and experimental,
putting everyday materials to unusual uses such as the creation of new textile
forms. Sometimes drawing strands from fairytales and popular myth, she knits
them into the objects she makes. Sadie Christian’s floating textile
pieces also conjure associations with magical figures such as mermaids.
In an exhibition space, they have a powerful presence, which is perhaps
unexpectedly emphasized by their shimmering, delicate intricacy.
Exhibition
Kate Allen
Threshold Gallery, University of Bath
1 February - 20 February 2000
Kate
Allen is interested in media representations of the body and their relation
to self esteem. Her work examines the mental and physical space our bodies
occupy. This exhibition mixed three-dimensional 'real' sculptural objects
and digital computer-generated virtual 'objects'. Kate uses computer imagery
to extend her sculptural practice. For her, images of objects which are
digitally generated "…become in the mind's eye, as infinitely
flexible and controllable as in the imagination. The fact that they consist
of no matter, draws attention to our awareness of the physical."
