Panel Discussion on the Cross-Disciplinary Movement in Art

Inspired by the diverse disciplines of Aziz+Cucher applied to their work through their collaborative years, we critically explore and question the necessity of the current approach to the strict separation of mediums.

With Special Guest Speakers:

Caroline Till - Director of FranklinTill and Course Director of MA Textile Futures at Central St. Martins
Alex Newson - Curator, Design Museum
Rory Blain - Director - s(edition)

AZIZ + CUCHER
Since the beginning of their career together in 1992, Aziz + Cucher have worked in a variety of media including digital imaging, sculpture, animation, and video-installation. They were considered pioneers of digital manipulation in fine art photography in the 1990s and their work features in prominent collections worldwide, including San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art and the Fond National d’Art Contemporain in Paris. The artists also represented Venezuela in the 1995 Venice Biennale.

GAZELLI ART HOUSE
Gazelli Art House opened its first permanent gallery space on Dover Street, London, in March 2012 after hosting conceptually interlinked off-site exhibitions across London in 2011. The gallery’s inaugural exhibition was entitled ‘Bodhi’ and consisted of new works by international artists such as Olympia Scarry, Jaume Plensa, Shan Hur and Khanlar Gasimov. In October 2012, the gallery re-opened its original space in Baku, Azerbaijan where it held exhibitions with Azeri artists since 2003. The direction of the gallery changed over the years, and it will now replicate the international focus of its London space by showcasing solely international artists.

As part of Gazelli Art House’s on-going commitment to art education, the gallery will invite individuals to embark on a journey of understanding art through talks, workshops and tours. As an art organisation they are dedicated to providing a new setting for the understanding and deeper appreciation of art.
