26 September 2016

Laura Yuile, Megan Snowe, and Special Tears (Cassandre Greenberg and Christopher Kirubi) are presenting Moist Heat at London’s The White Building, opening September 30 and running to October 15.

The four artists will present new work and works-in-progress developed during their three-month residency at SPACE Art + TechnologyThe residency investigated affective computing and emotional capital. The press release further explains, “the human body is commonly accepted as the primary site of subjectivity, empathy and affective processes” and “the breakdown between human and machine”.

Snowe will present a stage set, a series of texts and notes, sound for a new play called ‘Sticky’ and four texts that move in the same direction. Each text will be printed separately to form a series of four books.

As part of Art Licks Weekend 2016 and to coincide with the exhibition, SPACE Art + Technology’s OpenPROCESS #9 programme will take place on October 2. The event promises an afternoon of readings, presentations and custom cocktails. Snowe will read a series of short texts that surround and approach and her play. Yuile will make a short presentation relating to the research she has conducted throughout the residency. Special Tears will read together in an attempt to contact a character who can dream with us but cannot dream for us.

See the FB event page for more details.**

Polluted&rearranged&garage… @ Hartslane, Jun 7 – 8

6 June 2016

The Polluted&rearranged&garage&virtualized&LOVE&Fighting&repeat&usb& group show is on at London’s Hartslane Studios, opening June 7 and running to June 8.

The artists involved are all in their first year of the MFA programme at Goldsmiths, like Anne de Boer, Natasha Bird, Tom Varley and Laura Yuile, and the show is prefaced with a text that seems to run through the thought process behind creating an exhibition that has at its core several loose but related threads and feelings.

The text, which is riddled with ampersands (‘&s’), goes through phrases, words and references like ‘garage’, ‘rearranged’, ‘Robbie Williams’, ‘TK Max’, ‘Marcel Duchamp’ and recounts someone addressing a robot about these thoughts.

Other artists in the show are Tom Kobialka, Marcel Darienzo, Theo Turpin, Puck Verkade and Robbie Howells.

Sorry About Last Night @ Art Sheffield 2016, May 6 – Jun 6

4 May 2016

The Sorry About Last Night group exhibition is on at Sheffield’s The Washington Pub, opening May 6 and running to June 6.

Presented by (It’s all) Tropical art space, the event is running alongside the Art Sheffield 2016 and features work by Claire BoydLaura YuileLindsey MendickLiv FontaineLuke OverinMathew ParkinMillington Marriott and Victoria Fornieles among others.

The multidisciplinary show celebrates work birthed from bad life choices, and is placed between the shiny optimism of getting ready before a night out and the consequent hangover the next day. In sharing truths and slurring emotions the evening seeks what the press release calls “drunken  inspirations, drinking to forget, passionate pub debates, pointless fights with friends, loss of inhibitions, misguided decisions, hungover regrets, next day apologies, and one too many Jaegerbombs [sic].”

A confessional performance/public meltdown by Self Esteem (Rebecca Taylor of Slow Club) will commence at on the evening of May 6, with Karaoke running into the late hours.

See the (It’s) All Tropical website for details.**

Laura Yuile @ Vulpes Vulpes, Jul 2 – 26

1 July 2015

Vulpes Vulpes is bringing artist Laura Yuile for a new solo exhibition titled The Capital, running at the London space from July 2 to July 26.

The South London artist group and project space welcomes the UK artist and her new body of work, which considers “spaces of economic speculation and investment on both global and individual bases”, and how the architecture of speculation, and the presence of hope, can impact the frameworks around us.

The exhibition, running concurrently with Yuile’s group show Business as Usual at Turf and her two-artist show Co-Pourri with Leslie Kulesh at Caustic Coastal, includes a new video work as well as a series of sculptures that examine the relationship between systemic global conditions and networks and the local, domestic sphere. Yuile will also deliver a presentation about her research and some of the questions the exhibition raises with a special guest speaker on July 18.

See the exhibition page for details. **
