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.

Rozie Keogh & Sadie Christian
Myth & Material

Threshold Gallery, University of Bath
29 February -15 March 2000

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."
