Common Ground
​18-22 September 2019
Private View: Tuesday 17 September 6-8pm
Artists talks: Sunday 22 September 3-5pm

Common Ground is an exhibition by these 12 artists from the 2018-19 Peer Mentoring course at Morley College. It features a curated selection of exciting and diverse works encompassing painting, drawing, print, video, sculpture and installation. 

The course aims to form a bridge between the artists’ independent practice and professional networks through a year of mentoring. Students work in their own studios and bring in work for tutorials, group discussions, workshops, artist talks and seminars.

Erika Winstone, course director, comments: ‘The work demonstrates the rich achievements of each artist individually, as well as the benefits of alternative models of learning to increase access to a peer group inclusive of a wide range of histories, background and experience. I congratulate each Mentee on this fabulous, exciting and ambitious exhibition and I look forward to seeing their continuing journeys as artists.’

The exhibition showcases paintings, 3D works and installations by 50 Japanese artists. Come and immerse yourself in the Tokyo art scene!

Binding Performance
Thursday 26 September at 7-9pm
In Japan, since ancient times the binding of ropes has symbolized a sacred act that pervades all natural processes. In shrines ropes were used to distinguish sacred places from other places. Binding is considered to have the power of connecting people or things, filling them with the feelings of the person who binds them. Kou Shirai expresses this power, his feelings and spirituality through his binding works.

At the event, Kou will perform the binding with a part of your body or your belongings. Please bring your belogings that you wish to be bound - “I wish you to experience the Japanese binding art", Kou Shirai.

Our experience of time can make minutes seem like days and days pass almost without trace. Subjective time, as distinct from the instrumental time of the clock, involves both perception and memory.

The French philosopher Henri Bergson coined the term “Duration” to capture this flux of time, it’s continuous state of changing and becoming.

Works of art have this capacity to engage with both memory and time in their production and reception. Some seem to have the capacity to slow down time while others demand an instant response. The current show exhibits a wide range of approaches to and engagement with the experience and concept of time.

​Heallreaf 3
15-26 October 2019
Private View: Thursday 17 October 6-8pm

​Tapestries are all about narrative, they have told stories since their heyday in the middle ages and this exhibition of contemporary work is no different although you will find no medieval maidens or unicorns here.

Each piece captures a moment in the story but that moment is fixed slowly by the artist as each layer of weft threads lay down the image of the moment. In this fast age full of technology and instant gratification it is encouraging that some artists are still willing to sit at a loom for weeks, months and even years on end to produce such remarkable works of art.

Some are small exquisite jewels such as 'First Impression' by Bridget Lane but then we move to the larger abstract work of artists like Angela Forte (Vermillion Sky) or Margaret Jones (The Fallen).  Spend time with them and they will reward you with their half hidden stories and their beauty.

Heallreaf is an old English word meaning a tapestry hung on a wall in a public place so the name was chosen to define these biannual exhibitions of hand woven tapestry. Heallreaf 3 includes 40 pieces of tapestry from artists across the world including the US, New Zealand, Israel and Europe. For some of these artists it is the first time they have exhibited in the UK.
