‘I Miss You’, Zatorski + Zatorski
We commissioned Zatorski + Zatorski for a temporary site specific installation, part of the annual exhibition programme at Marks & Spencer Head Office in Baker Street. Zatorski + Zatorski produced a wall-based text installation to examine themes of transitoriness and transience during a period of change that connected with the re-structuring of Marks & Spencer’s business.
Both graduates of Scottish art schools, Zatorski + Zatorski are collaborative artists working in the areas of video/ film, installation, sculpture, performance, photography and drawing. They have exhibited widely, abroad and in the UK, including Tate Britain, Royal Academy, Whitechapel Gallery and the National Gallery of Scotland.
‘I Miss You’ was exhibited in 2001 and was part of the Marks & Spencer Head Office Cultural Programme, 1993-2004.
Cable & Wireless Exhibition Programme
Over a period of 14 years, HS Projects curated a bi-annual programme of exhibitions, as part of the Cable & Wireless Head Office Exhibition Programme, 1992 – 2006, showcasing work by established and emerging artists as well as recent graduates. A diverse range of media including painting, photography, print making, installation, drawing and new media, with many of the works especially commissioned for the Cable & Wireless space making a connection to the business of Cable & Wireless, a telecommunications company.
Exhibition themes ranged from decision-making theories, impact of past technologies, challenges of new technologies, the process of change, communication and messaging as well as corporate identity and perception. Many of the themes rose from discussion with Cable & Wireless as part of an initiative to engage with employees and drive debate and discussion within the office context.
Some of the 155 artists exhibited include Alan Brooks, Brad Lochore, Carey Young, Chris Wainwright, Cullinan Richards, Dominic Lewis, Emily Watson, Jenny Chong, John Stathatos, Magali Fowler and Nicolai Skylum Bendix Larsen.
‘Artlab 021′, Artlab (Charlotte Cullinan + Jeanine Richards)
‘Artlab 021′, was a site-specific, multi-media, multi-faceted exhibition of recent work by Artlab (Cullinan Richards) that contains many geographies and pseudo histories. From photo-documentation works of temporary structures such as petrol stations, billboards, architectural pavillions, boxing rings, to paintings and sculptural art objects, such as a sand cast lead pistol in a constructed break glass fire alarm box and the ‘get lucky bench’.
Cullinan Richards’ practice sprawls across boundaries, media, disciplines and spaces in critical and engaging ways. ‘Such moves dislodge a particular medium from its privileged position and hierarchicallly sealed status and draw it outside itself beyond the institutional frame and into a new light’ – John Slyce, Artlab 021.
“Charlotte Cullinan together with Jeanine Richards has produced, since 1997, collaborative work from traditional means: painting, sculpture, performance, drawing, film, video and photography. Much of this production has entered the world under the heading Artlab. Their medium is largely context. History–personal, family, geo-political, and that socially and culturally shared, or fictitious–is their primary material. The art that results–a fusion of documentation with fiction, lived personal histories and live performance–is often deployed, even when built from paintings, as a sculptural scenario and structural support for the incorporation of other work and documentation, as well as a platform for other artists.” – John Slyce, Contemporary, September 2006.
‘Artlab 021′ was exhibited in 2002 as part of the Cable & Wireless Exhibition Programme, 1992 – 2006.
