Birthmarks
Exhibition
Tuesday 31 May - Friday 17 June 2011
Fio Adamson’s work returns to Sprout in the collection ‘Birthmarks’. In her new exhibition drawings are taken from her body or abstracted from the short life of her adopted daughter. Her materials this time include graphite, charcoal, marmite, and tea, in work arising from her passion for art and for life. This is a must see exhibition this spring!
Drawing with Passion
A workshop with Fio Adamson
Thursday 16 June 7.00-9.00 2011
What makes you feel passionate? Your children? Poetry? Music? Steam engines......? The workshop starts with getting to feel comfortable enough in a small group to really notice what thrills you. Then using a variety of drawing materials, we will make marks on paper in response to these feelings.
Everyone is welcome. There are no pre-requisites such as thinking you are a ‘creative’ person or that you ‘can draw’, though it’s fine if you do.
Tick the Box Exhibition and Cyanotype Printing Workshop
‘Tick the Box: exploring the intricacies of categorisation’
Tuesday 17th May - Saturday 28th May 2011
At the end of last year, the artist Maru Rojas was commissioned by the Wandsworth Arts Team to develop a project that explored our understanding of diversity and ethnicity, in relationship to those “tick the box” categories that have become so common today.
From October 2010 to April 2011 the artist had an exchange with a group of residents from the borough and created several works in response to this interchange. The works presented here are part of the outcome of this commission. This exhibition is the continuation of the show currently on display at Southside Shopping Centre as part of the Wandsworth Arts Festival.
Opening May 17th 6pm - 8:30pm
Cyanotype Printing Workshop
Date:18th and 25th June
Time: 11am-1pm
Cost: £25
Location: Sprout Gallery, 74 Moyser Road SW16 6SQ
Led by artist Maru Rojas, the workshop will cover the basics of cyanotype printing. This is a traditional photographic method, which requires contact printing directly under UV light (the summer sun should be fine), using black & white negatives. The first workshop will be dedicated mainly to understanding the method, doing some test strips & preparing the negatives. Maru will then print the negatives for the second workshop, which will be dedicated to printing onto cyanotype-treated paper.
Each participant will produce 3 cyanotypes of approximately 8 x 6", or one A4 sized one.
