Past Projects
Secret Art Sketchbooks at the Art Car Boot Fair, 2011
Sketchbooks, stencilled with the TangentProjects ART symbol had a little piece of art randomly placed within their pages and were sold at the fair. Invasive Alien Species, Venice, 2011 A collaborative project curated by Liz Sheridan, IAS invited artists to respond to the theme of 'Invasive Alien Species'. The resulting exhibition was held in a pop up space on the Via Garibaldi during the 2011 Venice Biennale. Caravanseri, Kent School of Architecture, Canterbury, 2011 TangentProjects guest tutored on the 'Caravanseri: Stepney City Farm Centre' project for David Haney's foundation students at Kent School of Architecture in January. The project involved both a site visit to the farm and a concept model workshop at the School of Architecture in Canterbury. TangentProjects ART Pound Shop at the Art Car Boot Fair, 2010 As a comment on the Age of Austerity we ran a TangentProjects ART Pound Shop. Everything we made, from brownies to notebooks, flags to matchboxes, was flogged for a pound. Market of Ideas, Chelsea School of Art, 2010 TangentProjects took part in the Critical Practice event, Parade: Public Modes of Assembly and Forms of Address as part of their Market of Ideas segment, using our work on Liminopia as the trajectory to host a series of informal discussions with invited guests from the art, design and architecture industries, as well as the Market of Ideas audience. Liminopia, Bethnal Green studio, London, 2010 TangentProjects collaborated with the Travellers Box, a project originated through Danish artist Lars Vilhelmsen. Our piece, Liminopia, was a fantasy urban environment constructed from in our studio from found objects and was 6 months in the making. Trash Vortex, Hackney Wicked Festival, London, July / August 2009 curated by Steve Smith Inspired by the Trash Vortex, a huge mass of plastic and debris floating around the Pacific Ocean, artists created site-responsive works which were dotted around the Festival site. The resulting work included interventions, performance and responses to the environment. Art Car Boot Fete, The Big Chill Festival, August 2009 Explorations Into The Known World, Venice, June 2009 A collaboration between Liz Sheridan and Cedric Christie, with the support of Valley Kayaks, a customised sea kayak is being used as a vehicle for exploring the overlooked margins of the European continent. Art of Occupation, Working Rooms, London, September 2008 curated by Helene Kazan The inaugural exhibition for TangentProjects featured Steve Smith, Helene Kazan, Simon Fraser, Cedric Christie, Emily Candela and Karen Ay. Inspired by Eyal Weizman's book, Hollow Land, artists were asked to occupy their own territory in the gallery space. The resulting work came from lengthy negotiations between the artists in order to formulate how their work integrated, as well as how they mark their own and each others' territorial space within the gallery. These conversations became part of a process that engendered and became a part of the work itself. |
