JONATHAN BALDOCK : FACECRIME
Apr 12 - Jun 23, 2019
In his new installation, devised especially for Camden Arts Centre, Jonathan Baldock (b. Pembury, UK) explores contemporary ‘primitivism’ to create a darkly humorous world in which his works are cast as characters in an alternate reality. Borrowing its title from Orwell’s dystopian future fable, ‘1984’, Facecrime meshes together ceramics, basketry, hand-spun yarn, textiles and sound, through precariously stacked, monolithic ceramic columns that crowd and teeter through the gallery space.

DEBRA WELCH: ALL THINGS ARE YOURS
May 1 - 31, 2019
Chelsea Space is pleased to present a solo show by artist Debra Welch. This exhibition focuses on the closure of her old school in Portsmouth, King Richard School, previously Paulsgrove Secondary Modern Boys & Girls School. Situated on a large post-war council estate in Paulsgrove, Portsmouth, it served families who lived there for over 60 years, becoming a central pillar to the local community. Welch sensed a melancholy around this closure and in 2016 began a process of communicating with the school, the community and the local authorities, recording a collective memory. This evolving research culminated in the artist documenting the building in its last days before demolition in 2018.
 
‘All Things Are Yours’ (a motto taken from one of the school's emblems) brings together new video, sculptural and photographic works made over the duration of this project, while Welch spent time between London and Portsmouth.

The exhibition continues Tuesday - Friday 11am-5pm until 31 May.
 
Debra Welch (b. Portsmouth, lives and works in London) works within video, printmaking and sculpture. Video works often materialise from a long period of collecting footage and whilst the subject matter itself presents the initial grounding for the work, the filming starts from an observational perspective with no pre-conceived ideas of its capture, script or outcome. This freedom within the capturing of footage allows for accidental elements to present themselves, offering new perspectives within the editing for both visual and audio. Recent residencies, solo and group exhibitions: residency at Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth (2019); Second Edition Averard Hotel, London (2016); ‘Workshop Projects’ Sugarhouse Studios, London (2016); Skirting Corners 100plus, Zurich (2014); ‘The Archive of The New’ film work in collaboration with Donald Smith and Bruce McLean, shown at White Cube, London (2013). Debra completed her MA in 2011 at Royal College of Art, London, and her BA Fine Art (Printmaking) in 2008 from Winchester School of Art.
 
Jo Melvin is a curator and writer, Reader in Fine Art, Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, London and director of the Barry Flanagan Estate. She is based in London, UK. Current projects include: Language Games, Franca with Fabio Georgi Alberti and Adelaide Cioni, Cannara, PG, Italy; and Machismo, Villa Lontana, Roma with Vittoria Bonifati; forthcoming Publication Scaffold, in Dublin, Ireland with Sean Lynch and Michele Horrigan; and, Barry Flanagan retrospective at IKON Gallery Birmingham, UK. Publications in 2019 are: Gene Beery, FriArts, Switzerland; David Nash, National Gallery of Wales. In production are ones with Andrew Bick, David Tremlett and Noel Forster. Recent exhibitions include: The Hare as Metaphor: Barry Flanagan, Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York 2018; Sculptureless Sculpture and Archaeology of the mind; the metadata of Villa Lontana Rome, 2018 with Vittoria Bonifati; and Christine Kozlov: Information No Theory, at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, UK. Guest critic with The Booklyn Rail, New York, Fifteen people present their favourite book and Forgotten Moments; Future Exhibitions. In 2018 she was guest curator with the Mahler & LeWitt Studios, Spoleto, Italy, where she devised a residency, symposium and publication-as-exhibition project in collaboration with Viaindustriae, Foligno, Radio Arte Mobile, Rome.

May 18 - Jun 9, 2019
The histories of found objects and materials form the basis of von Meyenburg’s sculptural investigation. As a collector and curator of “traces”, the visceral and associative evidence of the previous lives of things, she is interested in how particular material combinations and modes of display can alter our relationship to the ‘data’ presented.
 
In addition, von Meyenburg will show some of her small-object sculptures and works from an ongoing watercolour series, in which she imagines other lives for the things in her collection.
