Sharing Event at aspaceart, Southampton

 In January 2020 aspaceart invited the 3 fellows to present their research work and legacy of the journey in Venice-http://aspacearts.org.uk/events/venice-fellows-sharing-event






                                      Performance exploring sites of resistance as places for learning

                             Against the Grain, With the flow






Against the Grain, With the Flow is a performance exploring the notion of resistance within a progressive and constructivist pedagogie. It was developed on  returning from Venice, after spending a month researching sites of resistance within Venice, the art and the biennale institution.
Laurence is in the process of developing a radical PhD research study in live art as an alternative pedagogical tool in secondary education. The research reveals her position as an artist, working against the grain of the system within education, and are unconventional performative strategies to create new forms of learning. The performance considers the relationship between process/product and learning, asking;
How does resistance become a medium for learning?
Can we work against the grain, with the flow, to create a change making practice?
What does flow look like?
What does the grain entice?
How much should we give away in order to gain?
Can we revisit Process/Product=Learning Capital in education?

















ARTIST DEVELOPMENT, TALKS

Friday 31st January 2020 6:00pm

God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY

Between July and November 2019 ‘a space’ arts supported three artists to spend a month at the Venice Biennale, as part of the British Council’s Venice Fellowship. Claudia Friend, Asten Holmes-Elliott and Laurence Rushby were shortlisted by ‘a space’ from an open call, and selected by the British Council, to invigilate the British Pavilion and develop their own artistic research.

On the day the UK leaves the EU come to God’s House Tower to hear tales from foreign lands. The artists invite you to join them for an evening of performance, film and participation, to hear their stories and see Venice through their eyes. Consider your own future trip to Venice through their survivors’ guide. Contemplate how mapping the Biennale template to Southampton could bring a visual arts festival to our shores.

What is the Venice Biennale and what do you need to know if you want to visit or get involved? What happens in the British Pavilion? Who is Cathy Wilkes?

In this building which once adjoined the sea find out why wool leads to water, what stories dresses tell, and mix plaster to make new work.

Hear about future opportunities to go to Venice through the British Councils Fellowship scheme.

Especially for this event we’ll be serving Aperol Spritz, with the first 10 people to arrive receiving a complimentary drink.
