Mark Scott-Wood and Matthew Richardson
An exhibition of wall-based ceramics in The Noverre Corridor, The Assembly House, Theatre Street, Norwich NR2 1RQ
29 June – 4 November 2024. Check The Assembly House website for opening details.
Mark Scott-Wood and Matthew Richardson share a passion for exploring and experimenting with the unpredictability of clay as a material, producing objects that are built, slip-cast, folded, extruded, thrown, impressed, assembled or woven. The pieces in this exhibition are traces of a process but also manifest as objects of mystery that hover between the mystical and mundane, the familiar and unfamiliar and the purposeful and playful.
The exhibition provided an opportunity for the artists to explore crossovers in their practices through a shared material - clay - and also their interests around ideas connected to superstition, myth, folk, archaeology and ritual. Both artists are interested in the way objects might be re-purposed to become significant and charged with new meaning. The pieces often reference architectural or natural structures, but are ambiguous and seem to drift across time, like past or future relics. They might be timepieces or tools, plans or diagrams, talismans or signs, or objects for contemplation.

Caroline Fisher Projects with @inthehousenorwich
An exhibition at Holkham House, 16 Cow Hill, Norwich, NR2 1HD
This September, Caroline Fisher is very excited to collaborate with @inthehousenorwich for a weekend show featuring three ceramic artists and a poet:
Lydia Hardwick
Mark Scott-Wood
Laura Scott
Nessie Stonebridge
Please join us on Friday 1 September from 5.30pm- 8.30pm for the preview evening… rsvp to [email protected]
The collaboration grew out of a conversation with the owner of Holkham House, Debbie Carslaw, thinking about layers of history in a domestic setting.
Responding to this idea, Mark Scott-Wood has made a new body of sculptural ceramic work through experimental and unconventional use of clay and glaze. Lydia Hardwick’s work, which I have shown in the past, uses dense layering of patterns and motifs drawn from global craft traditions and reflected in the techniques of slip inlay and pattern.Expressive ceramic sculptures by Nessie Stonebridge will also feature in the show, celebrating the savagery of Norfolk’s wildlife that lies just outside, and sometimes within, the city.
We are thrilled that Laura Scott, has written a poem entitled ‘The House Writes Back’. Laura is an award-winning poet living in Norwich, and her poem responds directly to the relationship between Holkham House and its owners.
Opening dates:
Friday 1 September, 5.30pm- 8.30pm
Saturday 2 September 12 noon to 5pm
Sunday 3 September 12 noon to 5pm

Open Ramble East are organising walks with and for LGBTQI+ people across the East of England in April and May 2019.
The rambling walks will move from urban centres out in to more rural spaces. They are an opportunity for LGBTQI+ individuals to socialise and collectively claim space. After each walk there will be a social event with food and music.
Open Ramble East is a free, inclusive and versatile group of people working with artist Ian Giles as part of the New Geographies commissions.
When researching walking Ian has been meeting with members of the Gay Outdoor Club, a membership led walking group founded in the 1970s. He has also been exploring queer sites and histories across the East Anglia.

Local Anywhere
Identities are cast and recast against interpersonal exposure and community based exchange. Whilst acknowledging the importance of being locally grounded, emerging nationalistic tendencies demonstrate the need for exchange that is global rather than merely local or national. Local Anywhere applies these ideas of mutual advancement by working with artists whose work references translocalism, transnationalism, network and collaboration.

Awarded an a-n Artist Bursary for self-directed professional development
70 a-n Artist and Joint (Artist and Arts Organiser) members have been awarded a share of £65,725 in the latest round of a-n’s Artist Bursaries.
The bursaries, which are designed to enable a-n members to undertake a self-directed professional development project, offer awards of £500-£1,000. This year saw a record number of applications with 561 members applying for the awards.
Recipients were selected by a panel that included curator and a-n professional development advisor Lucy Day, artist and co-director of AirSpace Gallery Glen Stoker, and a-n external programmes and partnerships manager Hannah Pierce.
Speaking about the selection process, Day said: “We were extremely impressed by the quality of this year’s applications and it was great to see a-n members being so ambitious with their ideas. Many artists approached the application process with a mixture of creativity and humour underpinned by a considered practice and sound research. Those who have been selected to receive bursaries really thought through what they would gain from a particular experience and identified who might help them get there, whilst also demonstrating how they would disseminate their activity to their peers.”

SWAP Editions, AD HOC Edition No. 1 launch at Castor, London.
SWAP Editions is pleased to present AD HOC Edition No.1 on Friday 31st March 6-8pm at Castor Enclave 8, 50 Resolution Way, London, SE8 4AL www.castorprojects.co.uk
The inaugural edition of SWAP brings together the work of 12 artists from around the UK. Titled AD HOC - as both a celebration to the imperative act of making art and a nod to an alternative reaction to the dominance of the art market machine. AD HOC is dealing with a specific subject, purpose, or end, where the action of doing satisfies the task at hand, whilst applying sensibilities about being adaptable and using creative methods to achieve results with whatever materials are available. Being AD HOC now seems more than ever an integral path to surviving as an artist.
Following the launch event on March 31st - the AD HOC Edition of artworks will be on display at Castor on Saturday 1st April from 12 noon - 6pm.
SWAP Editions invites 12 artists to each create a small artwork as an edition of 18. The multiples are then published into 18 sets and each artist receives back a complete set containing all the works in that edition. SWAP is a growing collection of artist’s multiples made as editions in a wide range of materials from casts and prints, to mixed media, video and photographs. The aim is to collaborate with artists to explore the process of making editions and forge an alternate non-commercial socially driven platform to enable swapping and collecting original artworks between artists. Publishing semi-annually in Spring and Autumn, each edition is curated and launched with a gallery exhibition or public event and the works will join a growing showcase of art multiples available to view online. Through invitation and open submission opportunities we aim to commission new works from both established and emerging artists, whilst acting as a network, resource and online showcase for artists making multiples and editions.
SWAP is a curated set of small scale art multiples in a range of media, materials and approaches that together form an eclectic collection for each participating artist to own. For each published edition, several complete sets will be gifted to high profile international museum collections and academic institutions to ensure a wide reaching public legacy and help to develop the profile of the artists involved. A further complete edition will be kept as part of a growing archive by SWAP. The remaining editions will act as the art bank to be promoted and swapped for goods or services either as complete sets or individual artworks as an exchange to facilitate future editions.
SWAP is an artist run, not-for-profit initiative that operates with zero public funding and was created by London based artist Robin Tarbet. As a DIY project it is sustained by swapping art objects with time and services, and deliberately puts all emphasis of value within the collective artworks rather than their potential monetary value. SWAP Editions and associated artworks are not for sale - but a limited number are available to swap.
Please join us for the preview of AD HOC marking the launch of SWAP Editions at Castor from 6-8pm on 31st March 2017.

The Temporary Research Centre for Stories, Myths, Tales and Fables is an informal investigatory project hosted by Nicky Deeley and Mark Scott-Wood. The intent is to create an informal hub for the exploration and study of anecdotes, such as local legends, but also to examine the ways in which stories can best be told and documented. Visitors to the research centre are invited to regale their tales and fables inspired by the work of Candida Powell-Williams and her exhibition The Vernacular History of the Golden Rhubarb using the objects on show as stimulus. Stories maybe told by word-of-mouth, singing, drawing, dancing, in fact by any method the storyteller deems appropriate. [Nicky Deeley studied at Royal College of Art and Mark Scott-Wood studied at Byam Shaw School of Art. They met at OUTPOST Studios in Norwich where they now both live and work.]

Vessels with Pestles and Chalices from Palaces
A ceramics showcase celebrating artists and potters and including work by students and staff from Colchester Institute and nearby schools as well as examples of everyday utilitarian ceramic objects.
Exhibition Preview
Friday 2 September 6 to 9pm
Exhibition open Saturday 3 September to Saturday 29 October 2016
Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm
This exhibition celebrates the use of a particular material: clay. Clay is common – it is literally under our feet – and mankind has used it for millennia as a material for making pots and containers (containers can include houses – mud huts and brick ones). It has also developed into providing for a multitude of everyday uses that are often either unseen or un-thought about.
The title is borrowed from the film The Court Jester, and refers to the diverse uses of clay from the utilitarian to the decorative; Vessels with Pestles representing the utilitarian object and Chalices from Palaces representing the highly ornate and decorative ones. Of course there are times when an object can be both.
The participants in the exhibition include potters from across the region – many of them focus solely on the use of clay and have developed highly decorative approaches, or have been working with the material for a number of years and have refined their style and honed their skill to extremely high levels of craftsmanship. It will also include a number of artists who use clay in their work or who trained as potters and return to their craft occasionally.
A number of schools will be involved in the exhibition who took part in Firing Up – this was a project was instigated by the Crafts Council that worked to rejuvenate kilns in schools and to rekindle interest in using them amongst students. Colchester Institute was a partner in the project and the teaching staff and technicians worked with the schools in 2014 to train and develop their staff and students. This exhibition will be an opportunity to revisit the project and see how the schools have continued to develop their skills and interest.
Another element of the exhibition will be a display of the utilitarian objects that are often used but seldom considered. These will include toilets, urinals, tiles, drainage pipes, and electrical insulators amongst many other items.
Colchester Institute provides excellent ceramic workshops with extremely knowledgeable staff to maintain and support the students there. There will be works on display by members of staff including Peter Jones, Martin Bridges, Neville Tatham and Eddie Dan, as well as current and former students.

Sell Out is an open call exhibition and the final show in Seize’s three month curatorial residency at Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Leeds.
Branding and logos have increasingly become integrated into the lexicon of contemporary art. Gucci, Chanel and Nike are accumulating on the surfaces of paintings, sculptures and digital art.
More and more, contemporary artists are invested in the actions of borrowing, stealing and appropriating capitalist signifiers. Sell Out seeks to reflect on the impact of these perpetuations and/or perversions of capitalist signage.
Is it possible to subvert this system of symbols and challenge constructions of intellectual property through acts of appropriation? Or are these art works simply complicit in offering free advertising space to corporations? Does this even matter?
Adeeb Ashfaq, Das Balloon, George Chinnery, Jack Fisher, Aitor Gonzalez, Clare Holdstock, Sam Hutchinson, Gregory Herbert, Will Kendrick, Joe Legg, Mark Martin, Luke Nairn, Mark Scott-Wood, M Reme Silvestre, Anya Stewart Maggs, Matthew Verdon, Jacob Watmore, Lewk Wilmshurst

"Society tends to gather together to form cults, sects, movements, religious orders, and gangs. These often stem from mass devotion towards a particular idea or philosophy that comes from the mouth of one man (or occasionally, one woman). As time passes some of these groups have grown to become powerful on a national or international basis and have influence on decision-making that affects us all. Other groups remain small-scale, and perhaps due to their less powerful status are seen as slightly off-the-wall, eccentric or peculiar.
As these groups develop they tend to accrete folklore, legends, stories and fables (often incorporating moral tales) that help support and demonstrate their ideals. They also amass physical material including costumes, artefacts, objects and structures that are used as channelling devices for devotion or totems around which to worship and represent the invisible powers they believe in and hold sacred. Temples, cloaks and robes, staffs and sceptres, religious icons or statues, and holy relics are just some of the items that can be elevated to a higher status. This symbolism is also extended to patterns and signs – runes, crosses, pentagrams, stars and other forms are used as representational devices, often referring to astral bodies or the stories associated with the particular group.
These movements, including shamanism, druidism, soothsaying, individuals such as Aleister Crowley, organisations like the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, and others operating around the cultural fringes of society, are all sources of inspiration for Mark’s work – he draws on their modus operandi, borrowing elements to create and construct scenes that hint at powerful forces at work. He creates his work using our society’s detritus and cast-offs, taking raw or low-value materials and transforming them into something that it is imbued with an aura and nominal power. Cardboard tubes are wrapped in brown paper and sculpted to form the shape of trees or supporting structures, string is manipulated and fixed to represent barbed wire, faces are constructed using gourds, bagels and plastic toys. His work has a robust and confident sensibility to it that is honest to its materials but playful in its delivery.
Cultures develop around a collective consciousness, or perhaps collective consciousness develops around culture, or around communities. Contemporary consciousness can be manipulated and managed through promotion and advertising – the power balance tends towards those who have the financial capabilities to communicate ideas to large numbers of people. Hence, the signs and symbols that people adopt to demonstrate their affiliations tend to be those that they are aware of because they have seen the advertising. This shift has perhaps been instrumental, or at least contributed to, a shift from people following religion to following labels, or following each other on facebook or twitter or other social media. This results in another source of inspiration for Mark – the cultural accoutrements whose styles tend to affiliate us to a group – fashion labels, sneakers, headgear, and the logos and symbols that are associated with them, are all rich pickings for Mark’s cultural appropriation.
The interpretation that Mark constructs and expresses draws on many sources but is not mocking of any of them; it respects their authors and those that follow them, but borrows their methods and approaches in order to construct a new mysticism that allows him to communicate his interests and observations. It may at times highlight the absurd nature of how we choose to live on this planet and some of the beliefs that we hold close, but it acknowledges that those beliefs are common for him too. The unexplainable elements of life that we have constructed – from popular religions to the occult and the obscure, from common-culture to counter-culture, all share commonalities in terms of how material is used to represent ideals. Perhaps there is a parallel between the way artists follow their own paths and others buy into it, and the way in which preachers pass on messages to others and are in turn followed."

UPDATE 25-10-2015
I will be showing work in A Bestiary at Turf Projects, Croydon.
Opening night: Friday 27th November, 6-9pm
Exhibition continues until 19th December, Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 5pm, or by appointment
Turf Projects are pleased to present ‘A Bestiary’, a new group exhibition exploring the representation of animals in art and the relationship between such pictures and their display location. Curated by Ed Hill and Sam Cotterell, the show takes inspiration from Cock and Bull Stories: A Picasso Bestiary, an exhibition of Pablo Picasso’s animal paintings shown at the Croydon Clocktower in 1995, which received more attention for its apparently incongruous Croydon location than for the work itself.
The exhibition brings together work from a group of contemporary artists in order to explore a number of apparent juxtapositions: between the great master and the city-suburb, nature and urbanity and medieval morals and contemporary myths. Featuring the work of various artists representing creatures and stories of both myth and reality, ‘A Bestiary’ explores the apparent juxtapositions of the urban bestiary, relating to both the 1995 show and the present. Challenging the former notion of the area as lacking in artistic content, the show also importantly represents the contribution of contemporary artists and organisations like Turf in encouraging the positive growth of Croydon’s art scene today.
Aaron Angell, John Arthur, Hattie Batten, Laura Bygrave, Sam Cotterell, Alex Crocker, Mike Davies, Sara Gillies, Rebecca Gould, David Harrison, Ed Hill, Paul Housley, Robert Lovejoy, Matthew Peers, Mark Scott-Wood, Ross Taylor, John Thole, Esme Toler, Joel Tomlin, Max Wade, Ben Westley Clarke
‘A Bestiary’ is presented within Turf Projects’ gallery & workspace on Keeley Road, Croydon, which opened in May 2015. The exhibition and events were made possible with the generous support of Arts Council England, Mayor of London & Centrale Shopping Centre, Croydon. A publication has been produced to coincide with the exhibition, along with various events including a family fun day & reading group.

I have been selected to take part in Incunabula at Norwich Cathedral Library, Norfolk.
Incunabula is an exhibition in the Historic Library at Norwich Cathedral. In the long medieval room in the cloisters, which will continue to function as a place of study throughout the exhibition, twenty-five artists have responded to an open call with new site-specific work and existing objects. A huge range sculpture, video, sound, performance, painting and text, will occupy the bays, shelves, tables and chairs of the library with an exciting response to medievalism, contemplation, narrative, feminism and magic.
The library will also display books from its collection such as the Norwich Doomsday (a beautiful medieval illuminated manuscript) several ‘incunabula’ (early printed texts, including the Nuremberg Chronicle – a lavishly illustrated history of the world) and a 1549 copy of Tyndale’s New Testament. Norwich as a city has a long history of a love of books and words. It was the home of the first known woman to write a book in the English language (Julian of Norwich in 1395) when she wrote down a series of mystical visions. The first poem in blank verse was written here by Henry Howard, in the 16th Century. The first provincial library was also built here in 1608, and the first newspaper printed in 1701, and it was also the first city to implement the Public Library Act of 1850.
The list of exhibitors are:
Anna Brass, Sarah Caputo, Nicky Deeley, Paul Fenner, Anna Flemming, Freya Gabie, Charlie Godet Thomas, Grimes and Jones, Donna Han, Marion Johns, Vesta Kroese, Matthew Kay, Beatrice Lozza, Christopher Minchin, Charlotte Morrison, Claire Poulter, Francisca Prieto, Alida Sayer, Mark Scott-Wood, James Snelling, Brenda Unwin, Nicole Vinokur, Philip Walmesly, Isobel Wohl, Jonathan Wright

I have been selected to take part in Test Space Open 2015 at Spike Island, Bristol.
Following on from the success of last year’s inaugural Test Space Open, which received over 500 submissions of work, Test Space is running its second Open Call, inviting submissions from artists in the UK and beyond. The selectors for this year’s show are Juliet Lennox (Assistant Curator at Spike Island), Gordon Dalton (Artist, writer and curator) and Kypros Kyprianou (artist).
"Although not themed or curated, the Test Space artists jostle together nicely. Their work compliments each other, some politely, some sitting awkwardly and firing off the odd insult. There's a folk art feel, but one that feels almost science fiction, like some kind of relic from the future. The artists neatly slalom any artisan Hipsterism or utopian daydreaming by having one foot firmly planted in the everyday world with often brutal imagery, self depreciating humour and crudely hewn and finely crafted ideas."

I have been invited to take part in Business as Usual a touring exhibition launching at stcfthots, Leeds.
Marketing and Networking are often thought to be dirty practises within certain areas of the arts. With many believing commercial success is akin to selling out and a lack of conceptual rigour, in that an artists practise having been compromised due to being solely focused on monetary gain or fame. The romantic notion of the poor artist slaving away in the garret is still applicable today, poverty and struggle equating to realness and sincerity.
Taking the conceptual bearing of the business card as an art object, and that artists marketing themselves is an necessary almost performatory element of their practises, ‘Business As Usual’ will consider the role and significance of artists networking. The exhibition will also ask how much importance dealers, collectors, curators and gallerists play in determining success, or whether artists themselves are solely or collectively responsible for carving out their own futures. In an age where curators now procure artists from social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter, ‘Business As Usual’ also presents an archaic practise in an increasingly digital world.

I have been absorbed into TOTALLER at Paper Gallery in Manchester.
15” Deep Pan Stuffed Crust Portuguese Man O’ War (Totaller’s Studio)is an exhibition of new original work fromTotaller, built from various ephemera and artworks, turning PAPER into an all consuming collage. Opposed to the usual idea of a collective, Totaller is one Artist made up of three core members, Lesley Guy, Lea Torp Nielsen, and Dale Holmes. Based in Sheffield, Totaller has the potential to grow dependent on the nature of the work to be carried out; and is an ad-hoc unit temporarily absorbing skills, materials, images, artworks, everyday cultural artefacts. 15” Deep Pan Stuffed Crust Portuguese Man O’ War (Totaller’s Studio) takes Le Mur de l'Atelier d'André Breton, the seminal work by the Surrealist artist on permanent display at the Centre Pompidou, as it’s point of departure. The work is a reconstruction of André Breton’s studio featuring artworks by his contemporaries, artefacts from ancient civilisations, objects, and ephemera. Totaller will build a bespoke shelving system along one wall of the gallery to provide an architecture that will hold its own collection of detritus, existing artworks – including a selection of work from PAPER’s archive, new art objects made using papier-mâché, all combined with pre-used materials and objects. The exhibition collides distinct aesthetic registers, artistic sensibilities, and visual languages in an effort to extend and complicate the logics of collage and bricolage.
The following artists have had their work absorbed into the Totaller Installation:
Moira Barraclough / Paul Barlow / Lizzie Feather / Chris Fielder / David Hancock / Paraic Leahy / Dominic Mason / Conor Rogers / Mark Scott-Wood / Graham Watson / Simon Woolham

I have been invited to take part in at We Don't Know What Will Happen? at Arcade Cardiff.
An exhibition of fun, randomness, chance, chaos and order with the artists:
Bevis Fenner (southampton)
Paul Kindersley (London)
Mark Scott-Wood (London)
Jock Mooney (London)
Barrie J Davies (Cardiff)
An exhibition Curated by the artist Barrie J.Davies
Chaos is the total lack of organisation, and is characterised by disorder. Chaos is ubiquitous, and we humans are uncomfortable with the notion of a seemingly random universe with no discernible pattern or logic. We do not like disorder or chaos, and this is evidenced in our ceaseless necessity to categorise everything into clearly defined and explainable compartments. And when an unexplainable phenomenon presents itself, we turn to religion for answers to the innumerable mysteries that abound. “People need to believe that order can be glimpsed in the chaos of events” (Gray). However, as attested throughout history, these brief glimpses of order have turned out to be erroneous, and rather than providing knowledge, have merely perpetuated our ignorance. Several knowledge issues then arise: Why do we need order, and can the true order of things be apprehended? Do these glimpses serve a purpose even when they are erroneous must be asked? Is it enough that people believe they have glimpsed order?

Shared spaces and cultural currencies. Currencies tangible and intangible.
Variable valuations of the same.
Conceived and produced by arts organizations helmed by artists and curators in Bushwick, Brooklyn and London, England, Exchange Rates—known also in this inaugural iteration as The Bushwick Expo—is an international exposition of artworks and curatorial programs in which host spaces in one art community open their doors and share their walls with kindred spaces on visit from elsewhere.
Some exhibits will be integrated, some collaborative yet autonomous, some even spontaneous or virtual.
The rates of exchange, as such, will fluctuate, while the currencies of exchange—ideas and culture—remain fixed.
Visit one space to visit several. Visit Bushwick to get a glimpse of aesthetic endeavors both here and in a dozen other cities.
Come to Exchange Rates for a creative breath of fresh air.
It is an exposition, to wit. Not a fair.

DRINK / FOOD / LIVE MUSIC / ARTISTS / ANYTHING ELSE!
‘A Fete Worse Than Death’ - for one day, Rivington Street is closed to mark the 20th anniversary of a landmark event with live performances kick starting an exhibition hosted by Red Gallery.
Before the hipsters, before the boutiques, before the bars, in a then derelict part of the East End, Joshua Compston’s decision to open an art gallery on Charlotte Road and stage collaborative street events re-drew the artistic and cultural map of London and the contemporary art scene. For Joshua Compston (1970 - 1996), life was a special kind of nonsense: Factual Nonsense. Seen by some as the romantic martyr of his generation and by others, as a prankster, sending up the art establishment, Compston’s gallery ‘Factual Nonsense’ (FN) was quite unlike any other.

I have been invited to take part in PØPMY$‡IC at The Residence Gallery.
The Residence Gallery is transformed into an edifice for the contemplative dimension of the Popmystic. Vivid colours, imposing geometries, theatrical surfaces and jarring lights illuminate the zone. Hijacked aesthetics of the esoteric commune with the debris of popular culture to swirl around the space like opulent cryptic codes. Popmystic channels the violent calm of the collective consciousness by power-harnessing rapid developing technologies and filtering ideas and visuals into a hypnotic sensory environment/vacuum of enlightenment. Meaning is somewhere between the divine and the defined. A black hole cut through the agglomeration of collective opacity.

The Selectors
David Kefford
He is co-founder and director of artist run project space, Aid & Abet in Cambridge. He is also a member of Market Project, a collaborative initiative researching and sharing new methods or opportunities for artistic professional and economic development and a Trustee of Block 336 an artist run space in Brixton. He is currently a visiting lecturer at University of Hertfordshire and regularly lectures in other further and higher educational institutions and gives public talks in museum and gallery contexts.
Paul Johnson
Paul Johnson received his MA from the Royal Academy Schools. His images of people and disused spaces are collages made from tiny pieces of paper, coloured by hand and fitted together in intricate patterns. In older work, such as in 2003’s The Glass Family at One In The Other Gallery in London, Johnson has been known to cover his collages with semi-transparent laminate surfaces, obscuring the image.
In addition to his studio practice, Paul Johnson has curated exhibitions.
Most recently he was invited to curate by the Usher Gallery, Lincoln to curate the fascinating exhibition ‘There's something about you I am unsure about' .

I have been invited to join Pack of Wolves to take part in New Folk Visionaries as part of the E17 art trail.
New Folk Visionaries Exhibition - The Bell, Walthamstow, London, E17
31 May – 15 June 2014
New Folk Visionaries is a new exhibition concept from the Pack of Wolves that will explore our collective interest in folk art traditions in the 21st century. It will be a presentation of neo-folk art from five artists emerging on the outside edge.
“We are pilgrims seeking the past, the genuine, the individual.*”
Traditionally outsiders, folk people and visionaries are often self-taught, marginalised from mainstream society. Despite our modern socially networked, Wi-Fied, 3Ged times, the Pack of Wolves have never stopped celebrating what it is to be an outsider; standing on the fringes looking in and observing, analysing, forever questioning what we see.
Our work explores contemporary society, values and morals, through storytelling, legend and tradition. Uncanny and obscure motifs are frequent in much of our work as we try to make sense of what we see and experience in this mad world.
Humour is important in ensuring that we aren’t engulfed by the banal horrors of modern living. We frequently poke fun at the norm with our ugly-beauty and tongue-in-cheek commentary on social mores and what is acceptable and what is not.
In keeping with folk art traditions you can expect to encounter work in an array of media including, but not limited to, embroidery, painting, moving image, and 3D collaged objects. Our curiosity has led us to teach ourselves these crafts. We make our puppets from driftwood and our witches eyes from plastic coated bagels. We celebrate the mundane and make it magical.
New Folk Visionaries will be an enchanting and sometimes disturbing exhibition of making, creating, performing, witching, spelling, hoaxing and coaxing, using self-taught traditional skills will be on display, with the emphasis on the way of the outsider.
Exhibitors:
Marie-Louise Plum, Mark Scott-Wood, Faye Scott-Farrington, Spike Dennis and Layla Holzer.

Humour is important in ensuring that we aren’t engulfed by the banal horrors of modern living. We frequently poke fun at the norm with our ugly-beauty and tongue-in-cheek commentary on social mores and what is acceptable and what is not.
In keeping with folk art traditions you can expect to encounter work in an array of media including, but not limited to, embroidery, painting, moving image, and 3D collaged objects. Our curiosity has led us to teach ourselves these crafts. We make our puppets from driftwood and our witches eyes from plastic coated bagels. We celebrate the mundane and make it magical.
New Folk Visionaries will be an enchanting and sometimes disturbing exhibition of making, creating, performing, witching, spelling, hoaxing and coaxing, using self-taught traditional skills will be on display, with the emphasis on the way of the outsider.
Exhibitors:
Marie-Louise Plum, Mark Scott-Wood, Faye Scott-Farrington, Spike Dennis and Layla Holzer.
*Robert McLiam Wilson, Wilder Mann

I shall be resident artist at Mam's Fridge Gallery.
Mam's Fridge Gallery is located at the heart of Matthew Britton's Mother's kitchen and operates on a hinged 33 x 20 inch greyish green door.
The project suggests an offline platform in which to commend ideas shared over the internet.
For good luck.

I have been selected to take part in Click + Spill
Salt+Powell’s inaugural exhibition ‘Click+Spill’, which features contemporary art from Local, National, and International Artists along the following concept: “The futility of everything that comes to us from the media is the inescapable consequence of the absolute inability of that particular stage to remain silent. Music, commercial breaks, news flashes, adverts, news broadcasts, movies, presenters / there is no alternative but to fill the screen; otherwise there would be an irremediable void. That’s why the slightest technical hitch, the slightest slip on the part of the presenter becomes so exciting, for it reveals the depth of the emptiness squinting out at us through this little window.”
Jean Baudrillard
As we approach Christmas, a season characterized by both excess and frugality we invite the viewer to engage upon works that muse, either through production or conception, the ever evolving ‘noise’ of the mass media and advertising or the ‘depth of the emptiness’ that this constant ‘noise’ masks.

I shall be showing work in the Doctor Who : An Exhibition in Time and Project Space.
On November 23rd 1963 a legendary television series began on BBC1 which was to dominate the Saturday evening viewing schedule for almost thirty years before being cancelled and then reawakened in 2005, better than ever. For fifty years children and adults alike have explored the past, the future and fantastical other worlds from the comfort of their sofa; whether sat on it or cowering behind it. At the centre of this maelstrom, the enigmatic and eccentric character of The Doctor; travelling in time and space in his stolen TARDIS, battling a universal assortment of creatures from Autons to Zygons via the greatest and possibly most comical enemy, the Daleks.
Westgate Studios are holding a celebratory group exhibition in the project space, curated by studio holder Bob Milner. There is work in all media and from across the country and the much loved TARDIS will be materialising at Westgate with a subtle but welcome twist..the BARDIS! Complete with hand crafted beer especially made for the show. The exhibition will open on Wednesday 27th November 5-9pm and run until December 15th, viewings by appointment.

I have been invited to take part in AEthereal in association with Open Draw.
“ AEthereal ”
Angela Wright
Nicky Hodge
Polly Bagnall
Jenny Jones
Twig Harper
Mark Scott-Wood
Seamour Williams
Yewande Okuleye
AEthereal has been planned to coincide with Samhaine, which is one of the Pagan Sabbats of the Solar Year, which is also the start of their New Year, it celebrates significant change
for life. It is a natural organic cycle, taking stock of the past, coming to terms with it in order to move on and look forward to the future.
Seven artists’ work converges at this time as in the Pagan “Dumb Supper” where a lively group congregates around the table silently and commune with the wondering souls.
Rather than collapsing into the consumerfest of Halloween, the artists’ work speaks of the spiritual aspects of this time, with some artists making reference to a culinary theme.
The participating artists use culinary theme in the construction of their artwork.
AEthereal is a gathering, a meeting of minds in real time with sculpture, paintings, photographs, performance, and net-worked online journeys.
Dates:

A Forger’s Kabarett
Four special events at WW Gallery in June and July 2013
Art and events collaborative duo, Mark Scott-Wood & Sam Tring, announce A Forger’s Kabarett, four different and unique events taking place in a Weimar Era inspired Kabarett Bar at the WW Gallery in London on 1st, 15th and 29th June and 13th July.
In association with WW Gallery and artists’ Broughton & Birnie, the series of four events will be back-dropped by BERLIN: The Forger's Tale: The Quest for Fame and Fortune, an immersive installation and exhibition from Broughton & Birnie, chronicling the tragic events that led to the demise of twentieth century forger Georg Bruni.
Kicking off the series on Saturday 1st June is Träume Was Geld Kaufen Kann (Dreams That Money Can Buy) a FREE ‘Celebrity’ life drawing class (costumed and no nudie bits) with Jessica Voorsanger’s forged imposters, including Cher and Billy Idol. Zeichenlehrer (the drawing teacher) Hayley Hare will be on hand for hints and tips, with each session sound tracked by The Librarian. Session one takes place at 6.30 - 7:15 pm and session two takes place at 7:30 - 8:15 pm. Basic drawing materials will be supplied but feel free to bring your own.
Taking place on Saturday 15th June will be Keine Zeit für Tränen (No Time for Tears) a FREE evening of musical performance from composers Matthew Lee Knowles and Neil Luck. Performances begin at 19.00 and expect conceptual poetry and experimental composition.
Vormittagsspuk (Ghosts Before Breakfast) on Saturday 29th June will see the Kabarett club taken over by Charleston dancing as Rosaria Sativa teaches you the dance craze of the 1930s for FREE. And if a free dancing lesson isn’t your bag then there will be a series of Weimar era games to participate in. There are plans afoot to Topple the Turd Reich and to Splat the Führat.
And finally to conclude A Reichstag Do: The Forger's Kabarett (Closing Party). A night of glitz and glamour to celebrate the final moments before the oppression with cabaret acts including internationally renowned burlesque beauty, Honey Wilde and drag artiste extraordinaire, La Voix. You will be charged £5 on the door but this will be waived should you be dressed of the era or as a celebrity, dead or alive.

I shall be collaborating with GAGGLE for an upcoming series of events commissioned by Noise of Art
First confirmed event: Friday 17th May 2013 - the launch of 100 Years of Electronic Music Celebrations at Village Underground
Marking a century since Luigi Russolo, the Italian futurist, published his ‘Manifesto for An Art of Noises’ (1913) and designed what many hold to be the first synthesiser, the celebrations will see a series of music and cross platform art events taking place over the next year. The Launch party references the role Sheffield played in electronic music and the era defining music that came out of London’s clubs at the turn of the 21st Century.

WW Gallery, 34/35 Hatton Garden EC1N 8DX
WW Gallery is pleased to present Broughton & Birnie’s The Forger’s Tale: The Quest for Fame & Fortune, an immersive installation and exhibition chronicling the tragic events that led to the demise of twentieth century forger Georg Bruni.
Focusing upon the events surrounding the sale of a forged Picasso painting to a Nazi collector, the show takes a detail from the original Forger’s Tale exhibition, about the life and times of Georg Bruni held at the Crypt Gallery in May 2012. Weaving fact and fiction in a richly detailed forgery of their own, Broughton & Birnie play with plausibility and authority in a post-internet world of self-constructed realities and identities.
The Quest for Fame & Fortune presents an experiential narrative, in which the viewer is led through Bruni’s story room by room. From the documentary cinema kiosk, to the Collectors and Regenerate Rooms surveying German art from the Berlin Dada exhibition and the Degenerate Art Show, and finally to the wild and grotesque performance of the Cabaret; the spirit and atmosphere of Bruni’s Berlin is evoked.
Akin to the information overload encountered on the vast data resource of the web, the experience of Bruni’s world overwhelms us. Pandering to an information hungry and status-obsessed society, Broughton & Birnie offer a sprawling maze of information within which the viewer is able to pick up and follow individual threads. But as counterfeiters they have also left a deliberate trail of deceit. Visual clues including familiar faces from reality television and politics, a-historical props and incongruous paraphernalia: all allow the audience to peel back layers of forged historicity. Within Broughton & Birnie’s retelling of Germany’s social & political upheavals, the astoundingly creative artistic culture, and the legendary nightlife of the short-lived Weimar Republic, we find parallels with contemporary life that make for an unnerving satire. Combining archive material and old photographs with the manipulative processes of new technology Broughton & Birnie capture the spirit of a past era whilst performing a wicked parody of current pop culture and politics: forcing the two worlds to collide in a flagrant deception.
About Broughton & Birnie
Kevin Broughton and Fiona Birnie have been working and exhibiting together since 2001. They are interested in the influence of the media and technology on society - its role in our perception and relationship with the real world. The technique of collage is at the heart of their work providing an essential metaphor and means of expression for the myriad individual constructs of contemporary reality.

I will have work in the lastest #tweetart exhibition
Alice and Bob curate -
We have a small, self-contained gallery space in our studio (Westgate Studio, Wakefield, UK) which was formerly The Prince Albert and is now white-walled, tidy and has become the latest incarnation of PEEP! gallery; an ongoing curatorial project since 2007. For the next year, I want the lovely people on Twitter to send in ‘art’ to be displayed in the space! We have six one-night exhibition opportunities coming up in 2012 as part of the Wakefield Artwalk. At each event there will be other planned exhibitions both at Westgate Studio and other venues including The Art House, The Hepworth Gallery and BEAM.
We get a good many people through on each night; we have beer, fun and hopefully the public will tweet the participants on the night telling them how brilliant their contribution was! A bit live and a bit interactive!
The tweetart events will be: January 25th, March 28th, May 30th, July 25th, September 26th and November 28th. The gallery space is approximately 16ft x 4ft and we have plinths as well as empty frames and white tack and nails and patience.

The Xmas BOGOF features an eclectic range of works donated by artists on the contemporary art scene. The participating artists include established figures from major collections such as Deutsche Bank, Saatchi Gallery and the V&A, as well as those who have won or been selected for prestigious awards such as the Jerwood, Threadneedle, John Moores, and Marmite.

The sale will begin with a special private view on Wednesday 19th December at 6pm and will close at 4pm on Saturday 22nd December.
The BOGOF is a fundraising event in aid of developing WW Projects’ non-profit initiatives. It is an opportunity to invest in the on-going work of WW as well as all of the artists involved and a chance to start an art collection or build upon an existing one.

Combining music, art and films you're unlikely to see at your local cinema, Art | Club is the new Sunday afternoon happening from London club music and cross platform art collective Noise of Art.
Inspired the spirit of the Sixties' happenings, Art | Club is a celebration of creativity in the capital's club music and art worlds. The afternoon into night event will feature DJs, live music, films, AV installations, performance shows, art classes, food, drink and a social space for those that think there's better things to do on Sundays than watch TV.
Kicking off with a one-off launch event before running regular events in the New Year, the opening is themed around George Melies 1902 masterpiece, 'Voyage Dans La Lune' - the first known science fiction film and one of the earliest colour movies.
This is a rare public screening of the film - the only two previous UK showings were at Noise of Art's club event with Daniel Avery and Ben Osborne at Latitude Festival and at Institute Francais in London. Parisian electronic masters, Air, have created an amazing soundtrack for the film, which will be played back through a full live PA. The film has been returned to its full glory by Lobster, La Foundation Groupama Gan Pour la Cinema and the Technicolour foundation. With each frame being hand coloured, it is truly a work of art.
Around this there will be live music and DJ sets, exhibitions, experimental short films from the early 20th Century, with new Noise of Art commissioned electronic music, and new short films, live music, incidental art pieces and art classes. The day will begin with Life Drawing (booking required). There will be food stalls, whilst stocks last.
The event is subject to change but we will endeavour to provide you with a great Sunday experience.

Artists respond to London 2012 with a re/de-generation project that transforms
THE RESIDENCE GALLERY in to a ZEN garden oasis themed on botany & botulism.
Injected with the coveted ooze of stealth, wealth, power, glamour and corruption,
Visitors are welcomed to the triumphs of growth and paralyses.
A place where traffic cones sparkle in the no-parking zone
And man-made embraces poison ivy.
And don’t miss the Post-Zen gift shop of fabulous London treasures.
Exclusive for 2012.

I will be showing a work in Trophy at the Common-all Games, Leeds
The exhibition will take place at East Street Arts in Leeds.
Alice Bradshaw will develop an exhibition based on the idea of Trophy. Trophy is derived from the Greek tropaion, translating as ‘of defeat’ or ‘for defeat’. In ancient Greece the winners of the Olympic games initially received no trophies except laurel wreaths. Nowadays there are trophies for many things including trophy wives and trophy art. Trophies are status symbols that can be bought rather than earned. This exhibition brings artists work together that responds to the broad and often conflicting notions of trophy.

You are an obsession, you’re my obsession…
For those who do not share it, unconditional devotion is seen as unhealthy and unsettling, typically loaded with negative stereotypes and labels of deviancy. But to the devotee, their chosen idol, however undeserving, is at the centre of the world, skirting between reality and fantasy.
Tainted Love is a day-dreamingly, dark installation questioning what it means to desire, cherish, seek, long, admire, envy, celebrate, protect or destroy. These desires for desire inform aspects of how we make sense of the world, in relation to mass media, and in relation to our historical, social and cultural locations to create meaning in our everyday lives where the traditional bonds of race, religion and ethnicity are increasingly diminished and where fantasy functions as an empty surface for the projection of our desires.
Ranging from simple groups of paintings to more elaborate devotional structures, each is dedicated to what Proust claimed was 'the only successful (sustainable) love’, unrequited. However, the overwhelming need to have one’s feelings reciprocated can develop into unreasoned passion and addictive behaviour. Limerence, as described by Dorothy Tennov, is the involuntary, obsessive form of romantic love experienced as intense joy or extreme despair. From cabinets of transgression to intimate shrines, the Tainted Love artists attempt to come closer to the objects of desire that elude our grasp, no matter what we do to attain them.

I will have work in the lastest #tweetart exhibition
Alice and Bob curate -
We have a small, self-contained gallery space in our studio (Westgate Studio, Wakefield, UK) which was formerly The Prince Albert and is now white-walled, tidy and has become the latest incarnation of PEEP! gallery; an ongoing curatorial project since 2007. For the next year, I want the lovely people on Twitter to send in ‘art’ to be displayed in the space! We have six one-night exhibition opportunities coming up in 2012 as part of the Wakefield Artwalk. At each event there will be other planned exhibitions both at Westgate Studio and other venues including The Art House, The Hepworth Gallery and BEAM.
We get a good many people through on each night; we have beer, fun and hopefully the public will tweet the participants on the night telling them how brilliant their contribution was! A bit live and a bit interactive!
The tweetart events will be: January 25th, March 28th, May 30th, July 25th, September 26th and November 28th. The gallery space is approximately 16ft x 4ft and we have plinths as well as empty frames and white tack and nails and patience.
