Drawn to motion, written in space, stitched over time by Shane Waltener
12 January – 11 March 2012, Free entry, drop-in at Siobhan Davies Studios

Shane Waltener, an artist renowned for his large-scale interactive textile installations, presents an exhibition of new works designed specifically for Siobhan Davies Studios. By using the Studios’ Creative Dance class participants and members of the public as human bobbins to weave thread throughout the building, Waltener explores the performative dimensions of his craft.

 

Choreographic sequences offer a reflection on weaving and stitching processes, and the relationship between object and action. I’m interested in revealing and discovering something about this through the silent negotiation between dancers, space and materials, which you can capture with dance. -Shane Waltener

Invisible Drawings: Put a stop to (Experiments in the studio)

Invisible Drawings: Put a stop to (Experiments in the studio) from Invisible Drawings – GREY AREA on Vimeo.

Further experiments for the collaboration project between painter Christine Cheung and SeedSew. These explorations were carried out in Cheung’s studio in Berlin, featuring Natalie Adams of SeedSew.

In responding to one another a dialogue between painter and dancer is established whereby watching, listening and replying keep the process of mark making and improvising an ever-changing piece of live performance and art.

Invisible Drawings was inspired from an activity that Cheung first saw during a residency in China. Using homemade giant brushes and water as a medium, calligraphers practice their writing in the parks of Beijing. Part performance, part graffiti, part social experiment, this investigation has led to workshops and collaborations.

Music composed by Hillman Mondegreen AKA The Soundcheck Quartet specifically for Invisible Drawings.
