Events

Traci Kelly, United Kingdom and Rita Marhaug, Norway.

This exhibition brings together two artists that investigate their own subjectivity in relation to social-political economies and corporeal boundaries. Through differing approaches each artist creates a shared language through mired and inky surfaces on skin and paper.

By exhibiting solo works together Kelly and Marhaug are grappling to hold each other in view and create the context to embark on a collaborative project, while Kelly is in residency at USF Verftet, Bergen (April-June 2013).

Seers-in-Residence
The Seers-in Residence is a programme which will engage four researchers from Nottingham Trent University, drawn from across various departments and schools. They have been invited to interact with Traci Kelly’s mono print installation Feeling It For You (Perspective) to evoke their own practice and research interests.

Seers-in-Residence programme

Emma Cocker, School of Art & Design
Thursday 10 January, 10 am – 1 pm
Emma Cocker’s practice interrogates the critical potential of failure, uncertainty, boredom, hesitation, immobility and inconsistency by exploring models of practice and subjectivity that remain wilfully open or unresolved.

Joanne Lee, School of Art & Design
Thursday 17 January, 10 am – 1 pm
Joanne Lee investigates the aesthetics of everyday urban life and explores the possibilities of the essay in textual and visual forms as a creative and critical entity.

Ben Judd, School of Art & Design
Wednesday 23 January, 2 pm – 5 pm
Ben Judd interacts with and creates alternative belief systems based on observations of social groups such as witches and Morris dancers, to which he remains paradoxically both close and distant, connected and disconnected.

Dr Simon Cross, School of Arts and Humanities
Thursday 31 January 10 am – 1 pm
Simon Cross’ research engages with the representation and attending imagery of madness in the social sphere through historical and contemporary trajectories.

This exhibition is open to the general public and admission is free.
