GWENLLIAN SPINK
Nov 23 - Dec 14, 2019
Private view Fri Nov 22 5pm - 8pm
An exhibition of new work by Gwenllian Spink, recipient of the Vanguard Award 2018-19.
 
Within her practice, Gwenllian Spink mimics elements of her native Welsh landscape using the visual language and cultural influences that she has gained through living in London. Most recently, this has led to an amalgamation of Neolithic remnants that have marked the land since prehistory, with mass-produced objects that play their part in shaping the material landscape of contemporary urban environments.
 
The Vanguard Prize allows Vanguard Court to help new artists grow and develop and reinforces Vanguard's strong links with Camberwell College of Arts. The prize, launched in 2010, is for graduating students of the College. The winner is offered a year's free studio residence at Vanguard Court along with ongoing mentoring and support from Camberwell College of Arts.

LIZ DESCHENES : KEYSTONE
Sep 29 - Nov 24, 2019 FINAL WEEK
Keystone is a non-linear exhibition of Liz Deschenes’ existing works. Her photographs and photograms’ photosensitive materials have been further exposed to external conditions - light, atmosphere and circulation to name a just a few. By re-presenting these works, the artist thus extends the works’ process of production, engaging in a reframed conversation of her work that is ongoing.

IAN STEPHENSON : È UN PUNTO DI PARTENZA
Nov 13 - Dec 13, 2019
For the final exhibition of 2019, Chelsea Space presents a solo show of the work of Ian Stephenson (1934-2000). A former tutor at Chelsea School of Art, (1959-89), Stephenson studied under Sir Lawrence Gowing at Kings College Newcastle (1951-56), to become a Studio Demonstrator on the ‘Basic Course’, the now iconic experiment in art education founded by the artists Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton.
 
The exhibition focuses on a series of collages by Stephenson, commenced when travelling through Italy, in 1959 on a Boise Scholarship with his wife Kate Brown, a fellow student. The works, selected by Kate, reflect the influences they both experienced abroad, and the transitions they would then make into their adult careers, as artists, and educators.
