Matthew Richardson: Self-p®esentation or Self-p®esentation in Specialist Packaging

The pressure of production and self-p®esentation is foregrounded in a new body of work by Matthew Richardson (b. 1985, Warrington, based in Glasgow).

'At this particular time, around Frieze and the other shows in London, I’ll be making an exhibition at SPACE that might chime with the autumnal melancholy. With scepticism, my own logic and fairly minimal means, I’ve constructed an installation consisting of re-purposed and industrially produced works. A Snapshot of Me, now, October 2012.'

Terese Schulmeister: Meat Me

Meat Me is the debut solo show in a UK institution of Vienna based artist Terese Schulmeister.

Central to the exhibition are three feature-length narrative videos made between 1984 and 1991 while Schulmeister was an active member of the far-left commune established by Vienna Actionist Otto Muehl at Friedrichshof, just outside Vienna. Schulmeister’s videos from the Friedrichshof period - produced in collaboration with Muehl - are anarchic, low-fi, gory and satirical. Irresponsibly biographical, her subjects include the golden age of Vienna Modernism (Back to F*cking Cambridge, 1987), Andy Warhol in all his factory period pomp (Andy’s Cake, 1991) and Vincent Van Gogh, reimagined as proto-hippy provocateur (Vincent, 1984).


Emotion Driven Process Based Parallel Identities: SPACE RitualZ

In line with their communal and non-exclusive approach to making, EDPBPI invite multiple authors to join them in the production of a large scale felt-tip drawing for SPACE’s main corridor.
EDPBPI is a South London based artist collective founded in 2010. Currently consisting of five core members, they make videos, workshops and parties.



BB#8: Dawdle
… Indifference, torpor, apathy!

Curator and SPACE studio tenant Gareth Bell-Jones invites a number of artists to reflect on some of the frustrations that come with the studio experience.

In addition, Dawdle features a special event exploring boredom, both as a form of suffering and as a potentially transformative quality of certain experiences. The event with feature contributions from Rasmus Johnsen, professor in Management, Politics, and Philosophy at the Copenhagen Business School and Anthony Morgan, lecturer in the history and philosophy of psychology at Northumbria University.
