Known and Strange Things
Oska Lappin, Agnieszka Dabrowska, Adrienne Hunter, Victoria kiff
A collaborative exhibition of new work.
March 4th - March 13th
Known and Strange Things focuses on diverse approaches and experiences; contrasting things that are equally important
for these artists in their life as well as their practice.
Connected by friendship and similarities of approach, the show links the differing forms of expression of four female artists,
creating a beautiful and strange journey that takes you to an imagined place, an abstract, invented space, a landscape once
defined by Seamus Heaney in his poem Postscript as a 'hurry through' being 'neither here nor there'.
The need for movement, love and nature to survive is a constant in all of our existence and Known and Strange Things is an
opportunity to consider and explore this idea. Through their artworks Oska Lappin, Adrienne Hunter, Agnieszka Dabrowska and
Victoria Kiff suggest a metaphorical language of feelings and emotions both in their separate pieces and in their combined artwork
here presented as a single painting which concludes the journey. The viewer can engage with their individual stories at any moment
of their choosing; points of entry that can be strange or familiar perhaps…
Private View, FRIDAY March 4th, 5pm – 9pm

Weekends of 5-6 March and 12-13 March, 10am – 5pm

14 Months of Solitude
Photographs as Conversation
John Cole, Lauris Morgan-Griffiths, Alexander Brattell and James Robertshaw.
Our photographic conversation began in April 2020, during the early days of the Lockdown. The aim of the project was to create something positive out of Lockdown. We thought, why not make the best of difficult times, and keep our creative juices flowing by taking our photography into a fresh direction?
There were four of us - John Cole, Lauris Morgan-Griffiths, Alex Brattell and James Robertshaw - and one of us would take a photograph, send it to the next person, who would then respond to that image in their own way: in colour, shape, feel, or texture. There were no rules, no brief or theme; the images could be literal, abstract or reportage. This continued in a circular way for two and a half rounds, making 40 images.
Occasionally the recipient would have no idea what it was they were looking at, or indeed, how to answer but then we reminded ourselves that conversations meander, change, hiccup and peter out, and so it was with our photographic conversation.
The result is an extraordinary silent pictorial chat, skidding around subjects and genres, with a touch of serendipity thrown in when the creator seemed to respond to earlier ‘comments’, although no one knew what earlier participants had posted.

Betwixt & Between
A debut solo exhibition of works by Jo Israel, revealing hidden worlds embedded in paper and glass.
Jo Israel’s photography and light box exposures unearth the hidden, natural and cultural histories embedded in paper and glass, evoking enchanted lost worlds of ancestral memory. All of the work in this exhibition is made using pages taken from bygone picture books and Victorian magic lantern slides.
In her Betwixt series, Israel seeks to create singular images for contemplation in an age of image-multiplicity. Using a primitive form of X-ray, Israel shines light through the pages of old picture books that have images printed on both sides of the page. The two previously separated images combine, exposing an unseen image world – an unknown space that we all inhabit unconsciously in our world of media images. Israel detaches and houses the appropriated pages in bespoke light boxes (which she calls Shadow Boxes) in order to preserve the moment of image discovery in perpetuity.
In Israel’s Between series she explores the translucent space between images using Victorian glass magic lantern slides. From her vast collection of magic lantern slides Israel selects and combines multiple slides in order to create three-dimensional, almost holographic images, which she houses and illuminates in her Shadow Boxes.
9th, 10th, 16th & 17th October 11-5pm
and by appointment between 11th-15th October 2021
All welcome
This exhibition will also coincide with the publication of a limited edition monograph on the Betwixt series published by the Silverhill Press.

Made and Remade
We are pleased to host painter, Adrienne Hunter’s first solo show. A childhood home full of paintings by Scottish artists such as Anne Redpath, William McTaggert, John Maxwell and John Houston left an indelible impression. Bringing her early career as a solicitor to an end, she undertook a part time foundation course at Hastings College. Her obsession with nature and landscape and the immersive, gestural sweep of her drawings and paintings, place her firmly in the late 20th century romantic tradition of Scottish landscape painting.
Opening: 6-9pm Friday 1st October 2021

The Tree Of Life
A period unlike any other, the pandemic has quickened our awareness and appreciation of the natural cycles of life. Renewal, regeneration in an emerging new reality, The Tree of Life looks at the ways in which artists draw upon trees and their metaphorical association with family and personal relationships to reflect upon nature, the human condition and the fragility of life.
Three years ago, we asked asked over twenty artists to contribute to Self Comes to Mind, which looked at the self-portrait in the digital age and in turn we asked them to invite another artist with the stipulation that age and profile was irrelevant. Using the same curatorial format, we are so pleased and grateful that over fifty artists, aged from 13 to 88, some with international reputations and some who have never exhibited before, have agreed to take part and embraced the theme and the opportunity to re-engage with friends, family and colleagues. The occasion also marks the opening of Landing, the new first floor gallery at Electro Studios Project Space, an unforeseen space which emerged hidden in plain sight during the months of lockdown.

Oceanic Feelings
Oceanic Feelings is an exhibition and collaboration between artists Becky Beasley @beckybeasleyuk w/ Beatrice Tailby Hardstaff @beatrice_th, Clare Burnett @clareeburnett, Leah Clements @leah_r_clements, Sam Smith w/ Project Artworks @projectartworks & curator Mariana Lemos @marianaamlemos
The project is spurred by a desire to recognise embodied experience as a source of knowledge. Thinking of feeling as a way to break free from the mind and body divide, and to connect us to the world: feeling as one, whole, but also dispersed and multiplied like water.

Treatments : What We Find and What We Bring
Sophie Shaw
A mysterious set of glass plate negatives found by chance inspires this meditation on the elusive nature of the past and the power of legacy. This exhibition of prints and paintings provides a glimpse into an ongoing project, which brings rigorous research together with a little bit of fantasy.
Due to COVID-19 only six people will be able to be in the exhibition at any one time. You can avoid any possible wait by booking a time slot here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/treatments-what-we-find-and-what-we-bring-tickets-122692637983
You're also very welcome to just turn up and we'll get you in as quickly as possible.
We'll also be asking that you follow government guidelines by wearing a mask at all times when inside the exhibition (unless you are exempt) and by keeping at least 2 metres from anyone who is not in your bubble.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

SEA ROAD
A road suggests something hard and tangible, which if we follow it for long enough, will take us to where we want or hope to go. A sea road, in contrast, suggests something invisible to the human eye, something intangible that exists more in the imagination.
Roads are lines drawn: concrete and simple to understand. The sea is a state of flux, fed by rivers and drained by atmospheric condensation in an endlessly repeated cycle of disparate elements. Yet, the sea is traversed by shipping lanes and these maritime highways are as clearly defined as any road map and just as fixed in their marking of linear space and measured distance.
The artists in Sea Road take the idea of the sea road as a metaphor for the invisible roads that connect our island to the land mass of Europe and the invisible 'ties' that connect each of us to everything that surrounds us.

A Little Death The Voyage Celestine (Delacroix at Champrosay)
‘THATCHER’
At ESPS in April 2013 the students from the BA course in Illustration at the University of Brighton put up a show of their work. They were asked to respond to the theme of Margaret Thatcher (this being the week of her funeral) using found ephemera and working with collage.
The students came up with an eclectic response to the brief with work that included humour, political angst and some surreal manifestations of Thatcher's influence on modern political and social history. There were also lectures by Peter Quinnell and Martin O'Neill, both Hastings based Illustrators and the whole event was organised by Paul Burgess and Jim Stoten from the University of Brighton.

Broken Roads and Shrinking Magic
Hermione Allsopp and Joe Packer
This exhibition brings together the work of two artists, whose work, whilst being distinctly different; contain some areas of common ground. Both the paintings of Joe Packer, and the sculptures of Hermione Allsopp, are works that evolve through an intuitive making process. From sharing a studio the work has developed a natural conversation, this exhibition is an attempt to explore the relationship between the work, outside of the studio environment.

Motion In Form
is a series of short exhibitions and performance events by seven artists that predominantly work with analogue film and installation. They will each install a new work, or new composition of works at the Project Space at various points from the months of July through to October 2013.
The remit is purely to explore the sculptural possibilities of film installation within the project space. This will be an opportunity for the artists to experiment with the methodologies and material of celluloid film and projected light, as well as the expanded cinematic qualities of film as performance and form.
A full listing of the artist’s information and event dates will be posted here: http://motioninform.tumblr.com

A weekend event of artists' film and moving image curated by Niels Post and Sharon Haward
Friday 25 April 18.00-21.00 at ESPS
Rotterdam artist Niels Post discusses his artistic practice & curatorial projects followed by a special compilation programme of 'The Rotterdam VHS Festival'. This artists-led event was initiated in 2001 by four artists, including Post & includes a range of work from narrative & mini-documentaries to performance & animation. The festival selection is based on the artists' personal tastes and preferences & is therefore completely unreliable & un-trustworthy.
Saturday 26 April 18.00-21.00 at ESPS
'The Mirrored Edge' is an intervention of artists' video & sound works curated by Hastings artist Sharon Haward. The works reflect artists' impressions & ideas about the tensions between utopia, a place where an instinctive harmony between humanity, nature & the environment exists, and dystopia, where a dehumanised society exists under the thumb of corporate uniformity, environmental disaster & a decline in society.
All events are free – refreshments available
Info: +44(0)788 144 1120 c.gist@btinternet.com
The artists' events are initiated by Christine Gist on behalf of Tempo Arts Ltd with the support of The National Lottery through Arts Council England's Grants for the Arts programme, Hastings and St Leonards Foreshore Charitable Trust, Centrum Beeldende Kunst Rotterdam and Community First through the Community Development Foundation.

'I'm Not Even Trying no. 2'
Jeb Haward lives and works in Hastings. His work explores the problem of image making: what arises and what is it's purpose in the field of drawing or painting? What does it suggest metaphorically and are the pictorial relationships edgy enough to go beyond his expectations and his last attempt?

As If They Existed
During winter 2014/15, to correspond with Turner Contemporary’s spring 2015 exhibition Self, artist and writer Felicity Allen undertook a residency at Turner Contemporary which explored how women’s work in the arts continues to shift ideas about artistic practice and how to record it.
As If They Existed is a new film by Felicity Allen, made with artist Tom Dale. Throughout her residency at Turner Contemporary, Allen painted portraits of influential women working within the arts. The film records the development of the work and the conversations shared between Allen and her sitters.
As If They Existed was commissioned by Turner Contemporary
