Dear all,

Here Comes the Flood: curated by Daniel Barnes
On the occasion of Euroart’s 14th Annual Open Studios & Exhibition 3-5 June 2016

 

It all begins with a parable. Imagine the Old Testament God had decided to send a great flood to wipe out the immoral people of Tottenham. In the manner of a 21st century Noah, curator Daniel Barnes is charged with the task of building an ark and saving the artists. And, as per Genesis, he takes two of ‘each kind’ of artist so that, when the waters clear and the panic subsides, art history may be repopulated and restarted in the Promised Land…

And so the artists shall be exhibited two by two. There is an aesthetic logic and conceptual rigor to the pairings: on the one hand, two artists have been paired because they are superficially similar; but on the other hand, they contradict and juxtapose one another, entering into dialogue on an artistic theme, idea or method. It all ends with magic.

Anya BEAUMONT + Nural MOSER
Site-specific installations that renegotiate the poetics of space.

Gary MYATT + David GADEKE
Explorations of the phenomenological strife or harmony of the mind and body.

Stephanie HERBERT + Annie ZAMERO
Glimmers of memory, traces of humanity in mere shadows or iconic tokens.

Lorraine CLARKE + Crow DILLON-PARKIN
Sculptural interventions into the pervasive mythologies of modernity.

Jon DOUBLEDAY + Jeremy BURNS
Abstract painting stretched between the logic of geometry and spirit.

Judy CLARKSON + Geoff GUNBY
Portraits of men and women whose worlds are not exhausted by representation.

Ellie SPAFFORD + Anne ADAMSON
Landscape along the lines of fiction and reality, where feeling follows form.

Russell CHATER + SHUSTER & MOSELEY
All the world in a fourfold of light and glass, space and shadow.
