VANISHING POINT
Grey Area invites you to attend the forthcoming show ‘Vanishing
Point’, which features the work of three photographers, who have responded to
the gallery’s unique exhibition space with work that draws from spacial
ideals, isolated existences and residual evidence. Grey Area is an independent
artist-run gallery in the center of Brighton, established in the necessity for
innovative arts events in a non-sterile, non-profiteering space.

Communication, in association with the animate! project.
The residencies offer access to studio space and production facilities within a
creative education environment; professional development and networking support;
assistance to create new work; and potential exhibition through animate!
screenings and online.
Each residency will run for 10 weeks, 3 days a week – starting January 2007,
April 2007, October 2007 – within dedicated studio space at the Animation
Department at LCC’s Elephant & Castle site in London.
Each artist will receive a fee of £3,300 and up to £1,000 towards production
costs and expenses.

24London, an exciting opportunity for London based artists
Visit London are creating a unique exhibition of London which will tour to 3
European cities called 24London, a 24 hour exhibition in each city showcasing 24
London artist’s views of London through a variety of mediums.
As one of the most loved, most vibrant, most diverse cities in the world London
has a lot to offer and we feel there is certainly enough art out there to showcase
just how much of an incredible place it is.
Therefore we are looking for 24 artists who are interested in exhibiting their
work all over Europe in a highly PR driven campaign to promote this great
metropolitan city.
We would love to contact London based artists who’s work showcases London in a
positive manor to promote the city as a great world class destination.
Since the exhibition will begin in early November we are not looking for artists
to commission work but simply lend an existing item of their work, which is
related to London, to the exhibition.
Please note that there will be no fee for the chosen artist/s but we will cover
the cost of all aspects of the exhibition.
If you are interested in this opportunity please email us with some brief
information about yourself and 1 or 2 examples of the work you wish to submit.

Kind Regards,

Visions from the Western Sahara – exhibition highlights unknown lives of
Saharawi people as part of the Mayors Black History Season
An exhibition of photography taken by the Saharawi people of the Western
Sahara, a refugee community is being displayed at City Hall, SE1, throughout
the month of October, as part of the Mayor of London’s Black History Season
celebrations. The exhibition is organised by Sandblast.
Sandblast is dedicated to raising awareness through the arts about the
Saharawi people of Western Sahara and their struggle for self-determination.
Close to 200,000 Saharawis have been refugees in the SW Algerian desert for
over 30 years while tens of thousands more live under a repressive occupying
regime in their homeland.
Mayor Ken Livingstone said: ‘Black History Season continues to be an
important period of reflection, development and learning for all Londoners.
The Sandblast exhibition is a welcome addition to the expanded programme of
events and promises to be an enlightening look at the lives of the
Saharwarian people, whose very existence many Londoners may be largely
unaware of.’
Danielle Smith, founding director of Sandblast said: ‘The Saharawis were
given digital cameras and encouraged to take pictures that would send a
message to the outside world about life in the camps and the issues they
face. The project took place shortly after the camps had been hit by
torrential storms, which left fifty thousand people homeless.’
Some of the (first time) photographers chose to document this destruction,
whilst others photographed the defiant celebrations that marked thirty years
of SADR as a state in exile. Other participants looked at the daily lives of
children or the pain of families who had lost relatives in the war.
‘The Sora Project’ in association with Sandblast aims to give young Saharawi
refugees a voice through photography. The images shown in this exhibition
were taken by Omar Dih Bebih, Hadjtna Mohamed Deidi, Hasina Bachir Mohamed,
Amere Abd Samed, Najla Mohamed Lamin Salma, Galia Sidahmed Blaila and Sanea
Muhamed Azat,
The Mayor has supported an extensive programme of arts, culture and
educational events in celebration of London’s Black History. Events take
place across the capital from October 2006, culminating in March 2007
Jamie Shovlin: Aggregate at ArtSway: Free Coach from Tate Britain
Jamie Shovlin’s exciting new show opens at ArtSway on Saturday 14 October 2006.
ArtSway has provided a free coach to the gallery in Sway, in the New Forest, near
Lymington, for the opening reception. We would be delighted to welcome visitors
from London to the gallery for the day, or visitors from further afield, nationally
and internationally, that may like to combine a trip to this exhibtion with a
visit to the Frieze Art Fair.
Shovlin is an Internationally recognised artist, who has recently exhibited at
Beck’s Futures 2006 and Tate Britain, in the Art Now space. ‘Aggregate’, the
artist’s latest exhibition, explores the boundaries between scientific systems of
understanding, and seemingly insignificant hobbies such as birdwatching and
jigsaw puzzle making – favourite pastimes of the artit’s mother.
The coach leaves from outside Tate Britain at 11:30 on Saturday 14 October 2006,
and will return to London for the early evening. A light lunch and drinks will be
provided. The coach is free, but booking is essential. Please contact Laura
McLean-Ferris on 01590 682260 x 16 or email mailto:laura@artsway.org.uk
The exhibition will continue until 26 November 2006.
