The Heart of the Matter is an exhibition that brings together art and medicine to reflect on the human heart. We are looking for an excellent Gallery Manager to oversee the running of The Heart of the Matter at the Copeland Gallery in Peckham, 1-11 November 2018.
I will play catch-up later, now I need to say that I have just done -something scarily exciting – I have invited an artist to do the first show at the gallery/project space that I am going to be running! […]
Developing technical skills and abilities To develop skills and abilities in plate spinning I facilitated three workshop sessions at the school with a range of ages and abilities. The first session was more focused and started by introducing the prop […]
For our final session in the school, the plan was to set-up the film we had made, then explore performance sequences in pairs building towards performing as a group. However, on arrival there was already a group in the 4D […]
The perfect quote that took 4 years to discover
Following a two-year refurbishment, The Hayward Gallery on London’s Southbank has reopened with a major retrospective of German photographer Andreas Gursky. Fisun Güner visited the show to find the gallery’s subtly ‘refreshed’ spaces bolstered by the ‘safe hands’ of its big name exhibitor.
I have some work on show in the Anima-Mundi winter exhibition in St Ives at the moment. The piece shown here is called ‘Margate Imperialists 1930s’. It is about the size of A4 and is drawn with silver on gesso […]

I’d been so engrossed in Oslo, I’d forgotten to tell Elda at Galleri Svalbard when I’d be arriving, but figured that any slightly Wild North place like this would attract people who are problem-solvers and, sure enough, wonderful Elda had […]
Another thing about Norway is that, with a population of ‘only’ around 5.3 million, everyone is more likely to know everyone else. It turns out that Helen from Tenthaus knows sound artist Jana Winderen, whose work at SALT I had […]
The flight to Oslo is overcast. Through the fog I see fingers of rock fondling the sea but nothing else. I think I have the wrong ticket for the bus to town, but this seems no barrier to the bus-drivers […]
1. Working with the ice scientists
Whilst visiting York, I went to see this exhibition, although the subject matter was not directly related to my current practice, I considered the methods of curation and ways work was displayed. I always find the curation of exhibitions at […]
On 23rd September 2017 I visited the Tate Britain to see an exhibition of Rachel Whiteread’s work. I have been interested in the processes behind the making of her works, particularly the way in which ordinary objects are cast and […]
