PRESS RELEASE
RALPH DOREY

Function Room

19 September – 23 October 2006
Cafe Space, Jerwood Space, 171 Union Street, London, SE1 0LN
Open Mon-Fri 8 – 4pm

Function Room is a sculptural installation by British artist Ralph
Dorey. There is an ephemeral blue organ in the roof of the Jerwood
Cafe Space. You could cook it. You could hold a plate under it
expectantly or use its internal mail system. Perhaps it will suck you up
and dump you out onto the street outside.

Ralph Dorey is a keen enthusiast of physical things but equally keen on
the hypothetical. His work is vivaciously visceral, anthropomorphically
awkward, contextually voracious and frequently large. He is influenced
by artists such as; Jon Bock, Phyllida Barlow, Jessica Stockholder, Matt
Calderwood, Tony Cragg, Louise Bourgious, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt,
Elsworth Kelly, Dan Flavin, Frank Stella, Ugo Rondinone, and Richard
Wentworth.

Ralph Dorey lives and works in London. He studied BA (Hons) in Fine Art
at the University of East London (2003-2006). Recent solo exhibitions
include: Arnold Circus Old Nichols, Scaffold Isle of Portland. Recent
group exhibitions include: Future First, The Residence Gallery, London
(2006), Way Out East, The Tram Depot, London (2006), You Are Here,
Queens Wood, Highgate (2006), The Hackney Artists: Tab Centre 2,
Shoreditch (2006), 555 Trinity Buoy Wharf, London (2006), Immediately
With The Masterful, The Ada Street Project, London (2006).

Council Works
Around the Council in 80 Days

Thanks to Arts Council England funding, we were delighted to host a
six-month residency by nationally renowned photographer George Wright.

Although the County Council is Dorset’s biggest employer with 14, 500
staff, there can be a general big unknown about what councils actually do.

They are often grumbled about, and easily dismissed. This exhibition
challenges that perception and shows the wonderfully diverse jobs that
people within Dorset County Council do, and the commitment they have for
making life better for Dorset’s residents and visitors. Meet the Earth
Scientist who ‘looks after the rocks’, to School Patrols, ‘who keep our
children safe’ and the Mobile Library who ‘takes the library service to
those who would not otherwise not have access to books’.

The exhibition portrays the working lives of 144 employees in 80
portraits, and is accompanied by text stating what those people do, what
they enjoy and what they would do if they were not doing that job.

It leaves a record of how County Council’s operated in the early part of
the 21st Century, particularly interesting when in years to come, the
system may well have changed.

Ceramics and Art Exhibition – September 2nd-30th – The Gallery at Bevere, Worcester

Escape and moving from place to place are the inspirations behind the works
of two of the UK’s leading potters exhibiting at The Gallery at Bevere,
Worcester from 2nd-30th September.

“THERE AND BACK” by JITKA PALMER

Escape is an ongoing theme for the work of Bristol based Jitka Palmer. This
exhibition features her latest distinctive work in clay and on paper.

Jitka was born Czechoslovakia, where she qualified as a doctor of medicine,
taught anatomy and set up her first studio. In 1985 she married an
Englishman. Jitka is a member of the Craft Potters Association and she
first studied ceramics at Croydon College of Art & Design, receiving a
Crafts Council Setting-up Grant to start her first studio in London in 1990.
She set up her current studio in Bristol in 1998. Her distinctive work was
on show at the Royal College of Art in London in March 2006. She lists a
large number of solo and group exhibitions in her CV, at home and abroad
including Paris and New York.

“EARTHENWARE, STONEWARE AND PORCELAIN” by ROGER LEWIS

Bradford-based ceramicist Roger Lewis creates decorative non-functional or
functional forms in earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. His hand built
bowls, dishes, vases, jugs, small planters, and containers constructed from
sheets of stoneware clay or porcelain can fulfill a utilitarian function but
are more often used as a focal point in an interior. Roger was a Lecturer/Senior
Lecturer in Ceramics at Bradford and Ilkley Community College from 1971-97 before
he became a full time ceramicist in 1997. He is a member of the Craft Potters
Association.

busy and exciting month showcasing over 10 different artists’ work,
four of which have been specially commissioned pieces to be performed
outdoors around the mouth of the River Hull.

Incandescent is a month of events and exhibitions described by Hull Art
Lab as ‘intellectual fireworks’, Incandescent will use a combination
of art and philosophy to challenge us to question what we assume to be
universal truths.

art events using light, featuring surprises, quirks and charms. Artwork
will appear through the night of October 6th around the mouth of the
river Hull and the Fruit market area.

Artists featured include :

Karen Logan, who will be using hundreds of small lights (normally used
for night fishing) under the A63 which, when viewed from a particular
position, will form an iridescent line;

Aura Saltz’s Electropathic Lady is filmless cinematic choreography
inspired by the dance films of Loie Fuller;

Harald Smykla, with the aid of an overhead projector, will be drawing
interior surfaces of the former Bonus building on Blackfriargate and
projecting them onto itself.

holes, or light vacuums; in Spectrum (near the tidal barrier), she will
attempt to make a rainbow using mist and light.

Also starting on October 6th will be work by German artist Hermilinde

Photography is Dead – Long Live Photography.

Brighton University Darkroom (room 241), 3rd floor, Grand Parade, Brighton.

Photographic installation by Tom Wichelow in conjuction with the Brighton Photo
Fringe.

http://www.photofringe.org/exhibiton_listings.php?start=3D21&exhibitions=3D

TWO NIGHTS ONLY. Thursday 12th + Friday 13th October. 5pm – 8.30pm.

Photographer Tom Wichelow has been collecting and examining the ephemera of wet
photography and creating a graphic photographic archive of all the great stuff
that digital cameras have made defunct. This exhibition uses a darkroom and its
enlargers to project these artefacts and to pose questions about how our medium is
changing.

These relics are being exhibited in the very place that is most under threat. How
much longer can institutions like Brighton University hang onto their darkrooms?
Do darkrooms still have a part to play in the process of becoming a photographer
or have they now been made redundant? Do they still have a role in the future of
photography?

This one-off exhibition utilises the darkroom as a venue to exhibit images that
call into question the space’s very existence. It turns darkroom into gallery and
under safe lights, visitors will be able to experience this unique and mysterious
environment that has been the wellspring of the photographers art for over a
hundred and fifty years.

Darkrooms across the country are closing and throwing out all the stuff sitting in
their cupboards. This exhibition marks a mourning/celebration of this steady but
inexorable process and attempts to record for posterity some of the equipment that
photographers have relied upon for generations.

For further information and directions to the venue please see the link above.
