Statement for movement

I started my movement knowing that I wanted to begin it with the motions and movement in dance. I wanted to not only express dance in a human poses way, but also the different movement it takes to perform a dance.

Painting: I started by beginning a workshop in paint for the first 2 weeks. I felt this was a good one to start of with because not only did it help me look at gestures in dance but also the difference actions in dance. In the first week of this workshop we painted gestures of a model. This inspired me to do a gesture painting of my friend Grace. I then went onto my second week of painting and really played around with mark making and learning more abt the medium charcoal. I wanted to start bringing my project more into the discipline work so I created marks with my ballerina shoes. This then influenced me to do a performance piece. I decided to put on the shoes and tap around with paint on the base of the shoes. I was able to get different motions like twirling tapping, twisting and more. I used different colour paints to show the different movements I took through out the process. I was also able to to use the skills in charcoal I learnt to do do charcoal sketches of the ballerina shoes.

Ceramics: For my 3rd and 4th week I did the ceramic discipline. I really enjoyed this discipline as it allowed me to take my project a different way. I was able to take the motion of dance to ink. I used different tools to show movement of dance. Like twisting on a spinning wheel. I then used a view finder to find the most dance like area. I then was able to create a paper and clay piece inspired by this. In the final week of ceramics we were able to make other pieces. I made a piece inspired by Alexandra Engeifriets pieces. I also was inspired by an artist I found out about in painting called Lisa milroy. I applied these to my finished ceramic pieces. For my ceramic pieces I made physical movement in clay that were dance motions. I also used the dance shoes on some of the bases of the clay pieces.

Sculpture and combined media: Honestly this discipline didn't really call out to me as much as the other 2 disciplines. At first I didn't really know how to work my project into this discipline. But I made it work. I started by putting words down to do with actions. In the end I chose to twist. I used metal to twist into shape. I then recorded the way light danced onto these pieces of metal by placing them in different areas of the room studio 2. I thought this was kinda cool. In the end I decided to make it a small hanging piece so when light and different shadows hit it, they is a constant rhythm and dance like to it. In the second week we worked on creating movement by knocking things over and swinging things.

On a final note, I feel I corporated my disciplines into my project on movement.

Lisa Milroy-

The second artists research caught my eye as i saw a piece where they had a collection plates which was my initial idea. I then saw how she also had artwork which was all about food/ dessert. This made me think about how i could do my project on desserts. Desserts was now my project title.

Lisa Milroy

In these, rows of patent leather shoes exuded a sultry, polished newness; ugly charity-shop vases were painted with the dull lustre of clay; and light bulbs were neatly arranged as if laid out on the table of a hardware shop. Surprisingly, the results were oppressive – they didn't celebrate consumerism and wealth so much as the nerdy compulsiveness of a collector. Later paintings, like her portraits of tanned blond-haired girls, were more in keeping with the aspirational consumer society of the 80s, enthralled by glossy magazine adverts. Wearing Ray-Bans, with peroxide hair swept back, the subjects epitomised upper-class privilege.

Found Cities, Lost Objects A new touring exhibition curated by ‘Turner Prize’-winning artist and cultural activist Lubaina Himid ‘CBE’ explores modern city life from a female perspective. Encouraging visitors to view the city through a woman’s eyes ‘Found Cities, Lost Objects’ addresses themes ranging from safety and navigation to concepts of belonging and power. From billboards and advertising posters to public statues and monuments, cities today are saturated with idealised images of women. Together, these depictions communicate subconscious messages about how women are valued, whether they are welcome - and how safe they might feel. In ‘Found Cities, Lost Objects' Himid brings together a group of works that address these themes, questioning our understanding of the urban environment and encouraging a rediscovery and reclaiming of our cities. Artists featured include Lisa Milroy, Tai Shani, Magda Stawarska-Beavan, Mona Hatoum, Cornelia Parker, susan pui san lok and Helen Cammack. ‘Found Cities, Lost Objects: Women in the City’, ‘Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery’, May 14 - September 4, 2022. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #femalegaze #safety #navigation #belonging #power #cities #cityscape #theidealisedwomen #urbanenvironment #artscouncilcollection #birminghammuseumandartgallery #BMAG #turnerprizewinning #lubainahimid #touringexhibition #foundcitieslostobjectswomeninthecity (at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (UK)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdF9ftHsUgC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here & There: Paintings by Lisa Milroy

The Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art 17th January - 18th March, 2018

The Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art is currently home to, Here & There: Paintings by Lisa Milroy. This major solo exhibition brings together a grand selection of Milroy’s paintings from the past fifteen years. Milroy explores different approaches to painting still life through making, looking, touch and transformation.

The exhibition is spread over two floors of the gallery; the ground floor focuses on ‘Here’ and includes paintings that address materiality and bodily presence through three-dimensional object paintings, pattern  and colour. Located around the room are a series of interactive artworks that Milroy has constructed and setup for viewers to engage and throw themselves into her work, making it almost their own. 

‘Up & Down’ consists of a chiffon and cotton dress hanging from the ceiling connected to a rope pulley. It invites viewers to release the rope and raise or lower the dress as they see fit until it is in a position that feel right to them. Viewers then fix the rope on the hook and leave the dress for others to admire or control for themselves. Another viewer interactive piece is ‘Off the Rails (Ahmedabad)’. Off the Rails consists of four nails in the wall, and a clothes rack holding fifty dress object-paintings. Viewers are encouraged to choose four dresses from the rack and hang them on the nails from their hangers, positioning them how they wish until they are satisfied with the composition. This creates a new painting each time a viewer changes and rearranges the dresses. These stunning and immersive pieces by Milroy make viewers feel connected with the art and artist, as they become an artist themselves, even if just for a moment.

‘Inside Out No 1’ and ‘Inside Out No 2’ are two dresses that have a rectangular segment cut from the middle. The dresses are elevated in such a way that the cut out fabric creates creates a tunnel effect in the dresses, revealing the different patterns inside the dress, such as pleats and sequins that shimmer under the gallery lights.

The first floor of the gallery focuses more on the ‘There’ and presents a stunning selection of monochromatic paintings. The paintings featured here explore presence, absence, loss, time and memory - all reoccurring themes in Milroy’s work. Taking centre stage on on wall is ‘Shoes’, 1985, which is on loan from Charles Saatchi. The painting consists of twelve pairs of shoes, all black and all the same design, positioned in various patterns. Although they are just twelve pairs of the same shoe, each pair seems to portray a different emotion. Some of the shoes appear to have been carefully placed next to each other, with time and care taken into keeping them neat and in perfect condition, whereas other pairs appears though they have been kicked off of the wearers feet in an exhausted rush.

‘Black and White’, is a ginormous painting that stretches its multiple segments across an entire wall of the gallery. The far right side is completely in black, white and grey and colour gradually seeps in in the middle, and viewers are left absolutely astounded when they reach the far left side of the painting which is overrun with colour and explicitly intricate details in every inch of the work.

‘Tablecloth’ explores the notion of good versus evil. The painting shows two figures standing at a table, one is dressed in black with long black hair hanging over their face, while the other figure is dressed in a delicate white dress (it is in fact the white dress from ‘White on Black’). The mysterious dark figure is shown pouring a red liquid into alcohol glasses, while the other is lighting a series of candles, the red liquid could represent blood, and the candles could represent lighting prayer candles. What is clearly apparent is that these two figures have very different demeanours and intentions.

‘Black on White’ and ‘White on Black’ are two paintings that are extremely similar yet are polar opposites. They both include a dress of the exact same style, however the colour placement is reversed. Even with a movement as simple as reversing the colours the effect is magnificent and creates two entirely different pieces of art, with viewers subconsciously putting each dress in different scenarios or situations when it would be worn. This is yet another brilliantly beautiful way that Milroy has engaged with her audience through her art.

‘Here & There’ truly embraces its audiences involvement and love of the art, creating one of the most original, skilfully inspiring and tasteful exhibitions in London.
