Participating Artists:

Alan Long

London born artist Alan Long will present a lawn sculpture and Front Window Hangings: First Floor and Second Floor windows on the front of the property 404A Colonels Row.

Alan Long was our guest artist in May and June and will present his artworks in our Noo Arts Gallery in the first floor.

Alan’s artistic journey is characterised by a dynamic exploration of form and medium, where each piece is meticulously crafted to encapsulate its conceptual essence. Through experimentation and adaptation, he seamlessly transitions between mediums, ensuring that his work remains true to its foundational solidity while evolving in captivating newdirections. Confident in his embrace of simplicity, Alan deftly navigates intangible themes such as emotions, feelings, and relationships, imbuing his creations with unexpected depth and resonance. His approachinvolves a delicate balance of reduction and removal, where techniques of subtraction unveil layers of meaning beneath the surface. By eschewing traditional methods of layering and addition, Alan uncoversbeauty and hidden significance, emphasising depth and richness in his work.

His artistic repertoire spans a diverse array of mediums, each offering a unique avenue to explore abstract forms. As boundaries blur between the physical and digital realms, he embraces emerging technologies, incorporating augmented reality to augment and elevate his artistic vision. With an inherent curiosity for the intersection of art and technology, Alan explores the intriguing possibilities of digital expression while remaining rooted in the tangible allure of traditional artistry.

Marta Beauchamp:

Marta Beauchamp is our guest artist for June, she will present her artworks as well as a sound performance.

Sound Performance Description:

A sound performance for cello and jump ropes borrowing the playful qualities of the skipping rope and employing them for making music. Setting air in motion, jumping, playing beats, strumming melodies, synchronising with others, tripping, running out of breath, starting again. A composition exploring slack ropes, tense ropes and the ephemerality of the weightlessness of string whilst in motion.

Marta Beauchamp (UK/IT, *1990, lives and works in Vienna and Linz, AT) is a sound artist, musician and artistic researcher. By focussing on the translation of data drawn from publications about biological rhythms into visual and auditory experiences, Marta’s work proposes an interface through which to materially encounter the transformative process of translation. Her installations are conceived as environments to stage sound performances, where installations objects are often employed as instruments.
