Solo Curatorial project by Charlotte A Morgan
Featuring work by Jack Fabian, Chris Clarke, Alex Farrar, Robert Lye, No Fixed Abode, Ben Moon, Transit (Kate Longman and Charlotte A Morgan), Thom O'Nions and Daniel Simpkins and Penny Whitehead.
'MAKE/SHIFT explores temporality, impermanence and [dis]location in the context of the built environment and ways in which these elements may inform shifting notions of place. The project, devised and curated by Charlotte A. Morgan, consists of a series of nine one day exhibitions presenting newly developed work by emerging artists and collectives. Based locally and nationally, the exhibiting artists work with sculpture, installation, intervention, participation, text and live performance.
The form and experience of the city is proposed as a complex network of spatial and social structures and relations - both real and imaginary - a perpetually modified whole denying clear definition. MAKE/SHIFT considers elements of the impermanent, the facade, the immediate, the transitory and the sustainable within these structures and relations; the design and construction processes that comprise the urban system and the networks, groups, encounters and communities formed by its inhabitants. The project also re-examines the perception of the individual daily encounter as fixed within the flow of the city’s immediate history, which alludes to, perhaps misleadingly, a locating of the self in relation to the environment.
The enquiry into the transitory aspects of the city is reflected in both the content and structure of the exhibition, which adjusts the arrangements by which the artists use the space and the audience encounter the work. Though the locality of Sheffield is not referenced directly in all of the works, its geography, industry and its current state of regenerative flux provide appropriate references for these considerations, which bear relevance at a time when issues of the global/local are of particular pertinence within many current discourses.
MAKE/SHIFT opens with a solo exhibition by Jack Fabian and continues with solo exhibitions every other day, culminating in a CLOSING EVENT on Thursday 10th July | 6.30 – 8.30pm. S1 Artspace will be open
12 – 7pm on all exhibition days, please see above for full exhibition schedule.'
