The title “a piece of paradise” refers to
the address of the piece of land that is
central to this work: Edenstrasse, from the
German meaning Garden of Eden, a part
of paradise in mythology. In this work,
the viewers have the possibility to get
their own piece of paradise through the
artwork with the purchase of a postcard.
“A piece of paradise” physically claims back
a share of Chelsea College of arts’ parade
ground grass and also combines several
media elements into one interconnected
installation addressing the question of
value and the ideas of recreation and
refunding.
‘The Lovers’ (2014, 8 x 4 x 2 metres)
consists of two cubic forms comprised of
steel coated with a graphite patina.
The twin figures are face to face, with
a small gap between them that belies
enormous tension. It is possible to enter
the hollow structures, to better perceive
the void drawn with steel bars that
offer a presence of the absence. From
this inner vantage point, one can see
the exterior world - it is the poetry of
the intangible, a world two lovers have
constructed together.

My artworks directly generate from
personal concerns and experiences. They
aim to visually articulate various senses of
feeling disconnected or isolated whilst in
the company of others. An unsettled sense
of place and location is central to the ideas,
a suspended animation, as the canvas
becomes the stage; all eyes seem erratically
focused on the individual caught in an
ambiguous yet oddly familiar situation with
a self-deprecating humour.

In my work, I tend to explore the
relationship between human body and
natural environment. Using smoke and
human body as a reference in the creation
of the works, I intend to express the
ephemeral mysteries and uncertain life and
the eternity of nature. Buddha said, “We
do not know if today will be more or less
important than tomorrow, but we know
that tomorrow is another day.” The core of
Buddhism is the idea of stage after stage,
instant after instant, the accumulation of
all steps, the accumulation of all energies,
daily work.
My art practice explores dichotomies of
the type: culture/nature, rational/irrational,
control/chance, order/entropy, industrial/
organic, real/artificial, reasonable/absurd,
etc. focusing on the ideas around collapse
and ruins in rebuilt. In particular, I am
interested in exploring of dislocated and
unstable structures while dealing with
shifts and displacements in geological
and architectural spaces and so with
the relationship between original and
posterior situations and places. Regarding
significance and contextual references, my
art practice is based on the deconstructive
concept of dislocation dealing with
subversion of oppositions.

I make artworks you can carry, unfold and step into.
A keyword of my work process is
‘discrepancy’. My work is basically about
creating unnatural sceneries, which are
being in the middle of reality and unreality
by maximizing the discrepancy.
I have been interested in visual confliction
of images in a rectangle canvas that has
been regarded as an actual flatness and a
virtual space by me. When very randomly,
but carefully selected images from personal
life settle down on a canvas, a visual
collision occurs for nonselective attitude on
two characteristics (an actual flatness and a
virtual space) of canvas.

The language that I use in my practice
is rooted in materiality and process.
Interventions are made in natural, hand
built and manufactured objects with
laborious techniques, and these elements
are then assembled using relatively quick
and spontaneous gestures. Contrasts
between the materials and objects are
used to create tension between opposing
themes that arise within the work. The
assemblages occupy a space between
these contrasts, neither being entirely one
nor the other. The works are impermanent,
imperfect and incomplete. The transition
from one state to another challenges
preconceptions about the value of labour,
craft, function, materiality and process.
My main work plan is to implement
possible world through emergence process
of my work, Blank Silk Road series. The
emergent process or ‘letting a thing come
rather than creating it,’ is a good method as
well as contents for creating new forms and
possible worlds. As complexity of art works
increases, the painter cannot control and
design it. In that situation, one of the best
strategies might be to capture the newly
emerging forms occurred through dynamic
interactive and incidental process.

The representation of childhood in
its current state of knowingness, not
innocence seems to be a powerful signifier
of myself. The people in my video carry
out imaginative creative acts, but do not
obey the reality test. They tend to consider
themselves adult babies. However, adults
who try to tap into their own inner child
and act like children, might become
uncanny aspects of unconscious processes
in comparison to the conscious ego.

Abeer has accumulated a wealth of
experience and skills in 30 years that
he has engaged with art. Open to
experimenting, playing with the materials
be that metal, wood or wax his main
learning throughout the years he says is
to listen to the material you work with.
What is it asking for?
In the last few years Abeer has produced
a series of large narrative paintings that
take you into a mythical world as well as
a series of bronze figurative sculptures.
Expressions of love and joy are a common
emotional theme in his work which he
hopes is contagious.
Jolly Jolie is about the exuberance of
happiness. “What is your most ecstatic
childhood/adolescent memory?” From the
answers, twenty-five scenes have been
created expressing the bipolarity within the
work and the artist - the gloomy and doleful
black-and-white style of drawing and the
euphoric narrative of the installation. The
title plays plays with the dichotomy of
the artist’s language - French and English -
and the same resonance of the word
‘Pretty Happy’.

I try to originate in an attempt to
understand how material affects
perception, how we construct our
experience into meaning and how
physical form is read in artistic principles
beyond its possible meanings.
I concentrate the relationship between
meaningless materiality and a well-
controlled state of meaningful formation
of elements. My work explores a strong
ability of existing in the chaos of external
environment, the point emotionally and
physically. How can technology be used
to break the space which keeps distant
our experience, and how can art provide
the chance for this to happen.
By looking into at the history between
Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, from
colonialism to the present, the work is
trying to explore the inconsistencies and
instabilities in assigning economic value to
intangible things. It is examined through
the detritus of over production and
abstraction of life through digitalization, the
aspirations and failures in our lives, from
being a student making a ‘work’ for the final
show, or investing in the future by buying
a house.

Through examining the way people
perceive the city they live in, Christiana
has transformed the conception of
painting in her work – and the conception
or perception of maps too. Her practice
explores elements that a map cannot,
color, shapes, scale, orientation, location
and their relation with one another. In her
work, she is using map cut outs in order to
create a powerful visual experience for the
viewer, a balanced and unified painting.
Through the colors she used, she wants the
viewer to experience the complexity and
to wonder if this is the painting he thought
it was?

My work is a kind of dynamic linear based
geometric installation made by scaffolding
tubes, tube fittings and aluminum bars,
which can move geometrically: like
horizontal, vertical and circle movement,
using electric motor as energy provider.
The scale of the linear installation is big
enough to let people walk inside the space
of the “machine” to feel the structure, the
movement, the sound, the space between
body and the environment and then
maybe push the spectator to perceive or
reconsider the way of their perceiving,
which is the meaning of art.

The relationship between natural and man-
made environments plays a significant role
in the outcomes of my artwork. Recently
I have been investigating ideas of ‘utopia’
and thinking about what my ideal city
would consist of. I aim to question whether
we will ever reach this utopian state of
being. I am interested in combining ancient
with the modern to create ambiguous
structures- futuristic, primitive, eastern and
western. They do not belong to any time or
place but instead stand for a universal and
timeless human dilemma for progress and
change in our continuing quest to reach a
perfect society.

merely to mimic the natural beauty and

The start of <Investigations on “Two

or locations of Korea and UK, and it was
also the main theme of works. I feel there
are two daytime and two nights in my
mind because of time difference. I keep
connecting with friends or my family in
Korea. Nighttime and daytime is opposite,
but when I talk with them I feel as if being
assimilated with their moment. Yellow
spheres in my works are the symbol of time
difference, and also means of connecting
different location.

My work is a location of moments in the
ordinary. I engage with ideas of space,
boundaries, borderlines and limits.
Approaching our body as psychological
space, space -as -experienced with the
outline of skin and as one “continuum” with
physical space. Looking at physical space
with the eye to notice what already is there,
the borderline, holes which draw to the
space of consciousness.
‘Our conceptualizing about space
is irrevocably bound up with our
conceptualizing about ourselves. What we
think it means to be human is allied with
our ideas about the cosmological space in
which we conceive ourselves to live’

My practice concentrates on the
constructed, focusing on materiality and
process and a scrutiny of place, space
and objects. I work with fragments, things
we can identify with, but change their
context, their purpose or function, their
scale, their nature; it becomes blank,
anonymous, ambiguous. I am interested in
the non-event; insignificance, those nothing
moments that are intimate experiences of
place, and there always seems to be a trace
of these existences but ultimately nothing
special about them – mo(nu)ments in ruins.

Milena Michalski’s practice explores
place through the optical and its limits
— site, sight and beyond. Using layering,
transparency and obscuring of images,
in mixed media installations, film, video
and print-making, she treats issues of
perception, representation and abstraction,
interweaving memory, trace and place.
Recent exhibitions include a solo show
at The South Lookout (Caroline Wiseman
Modern & Contemporary), Chelsea Salon,
ZAP Members Summer Exhibition and
screenings at international film and video
festivals.
Recent awards include the first Chelsea
School of Arts Residency and Arts Club
Aldeburgh Beach Bursary, and the CCW
Artist Moving Image Initiative Award.
My practice is concerned with the
manufacturing of new environments from
the combination of bodies, objects and
spaces. The work is predominantly formed
of paintings, installation, film and sculpture
to create an immersive and alternative
understanding of the human form.
With an aesthetic of expressionist
painterliness, combined with a collage like
approach to installation, the work seeks
to understand the relationships between
traditional mark making, contemporary
understanding of images and our
perceptions of reality. My practice flips
between the dialogue of representation
and abstraction as way to explore the body
in space.

Social authorities keep creating new types
of urban development, which seems
to give better living environments, like
‘Green Residencies and multi-complex
buildings, promising parks and pleasant
housing complexes. However, regarding
the phenomenon of demolishing and
changing places, Paul Nash says that
this current attitude to place is for want
of a better world, which may not exit.
According to Nash’s idea, positive images
of creation of Green Residencies are likely
to be changed to the process of destructive
urban development demolishing existential
places. Thus, I aim to express loss of places
that is in any types of urban development.

I then create a new narrative mixing it with

be kept for the future through storytelling
from generation to generation - like

I convey human fetish through fake
naivety. The voyeuristic male gazing is
recurring as another theme regarding
on between personal memories and
other socio-collective unconsciousness.
My drawings describe kinky inclination
and its deficiency. Viewers are touched
by and enjoying the soft hue of colours
and use of childish figures. However their
breaths are taken away as soon as they
recognise the protagonists’ tragic state
regarding humiliation and sexual abuse.
The absurdity pretending description
causes bizarre notions and daydream, and
this refers to Freud’s theories on childhood
trauma as a form of disobedience, a refusal
to give in to social prejudice.

The work forms a “fantastical”, humorous
portrait of middle-age, affluent men
and their rituals in the home. Generally
these mini-dramas speak about a kind
of superficiality that involves assiduous,
perhaps unnecessary, work.
The actions that form a new savoir
faire (etiquette), come from the artist’s
reflections on rituals, inspired by Silvio
Berlusconi, former prime minister of Italy,
such as home decoration, performance
for the guests, the display of wealth and
power, and the failure and absurdity in
fulfilling these roles.
An attempt of putting many questions and
ideas into one film, and considering it as
a presentation of all I wish I could have
done. Many issues are involved, such as:
Shouldn’t artists be loyal to our hearts
or to our perceptions? Are we not doing
art because we want to share something
through our perception? Or are we doing
art only because we want people to see
what they would like to see? And of course
the black light, again, proposing an idea
that what the art in the future will possibly
be via conversations etc.

Wilberforce is drawn to places with

off and precarious, hovering between
different histories, uses and meanings. The
work aims to prompt questions about our
ambivalent relationship and role within
everyday space, and the potential for our

Exploring the relationships among memory,
time, and art because memory itself is as
inherent an existence as time, but we can
never touch them. They are so close, always
right next to us, but why is it that we can
never control them? Time and memory are
already difficult to clarify, yet sometimes we
want to use art in an attempt to embrace
them and mix them together. Furthermore,
it is difficult to separate artistic creation,
or artworks themselves, from time and
memory. It seems impossible to find a
definitive definition for these complex,
nuanced, and dynamic relationships, but it
is also what attracts our endless attempts
at exploring it.

In my works the uniqueness of thoughts
and ideas are synchronized with inner
consciousness and religiosity coated with
certain vibrancy. The imageries and lines
go on narrating a single truth underlying
the emotions that takes shape and reshape
in the visual arena of my pictorial space.
Being optimistic the colors employed in the
canvases presents a positive vista which
transmits sacred intensions behind such
rendering of objects and color. Each color
possesses its own strength and vitality and
through its vibrancy the deepest emotional
attachment can be easily communicable.
