Small Boats

Excited to complete my installation 'Small Boats' as part of my MA end of term Image Futures exhibition at the University of Westminster this week. And great to see people adding their own boats to the flotilla (made from pages of the official HO guidance on UK citizenship) and creating their own absurdist verse from the words of Theresa May's 2016 speech. Here are some installation shots including a GIF of me doing some folding / unfolding of my Windrush monument image.

Kirsten Hoving is a photographer and multimedia artist from Charleston, SC, whose art balances on the edge between fact and fiction. Hers is an art of transcendence, and she frequently combines photographs with unusual processes, materials, and presentations to evoke quiet dreams and half-remembered tales. Using unexpected viewpoints, three-dimensionality, and kinetic elements, she expands photography’s decisive moments into visionary states of wonder. Our imagination, she believes, is what makes us human, and our ability to see the world through metaphors, stories, and poetic allusions connects our minds to our hearts.

Danielle van ark - Bills

Receipts of stuff I bought with on it a drawing of a contemporary art work.

“The artist appears as the top-one non-essential job during pandemic”. I personally read the survey’s output otherwise. I think it indicates a problem on a more extensive level. It reflects the widely spread conception of contemporary art as a self-referential venture disconnected from the real world’s deeds and lacking in pragmatism. Seen under this light, Bills are friendly yet concrete eye-opener on a different kind of reality. They offer a peek into what lies behind the rosy picture of the artist’s life: namely, tedious paperwork and a few headaches when it comes to making ends meet.  (Paola Paleari, In Limbo, Foam Magazine)
