Juliette Blightman: A Year With No Head opens with a preview on 23 February at International Project Space from 5-7pm, and is ongoing until 2 April.
Working with film, performance and installation, the exhibition features a newly commissioned installation, which centres on a large-scale drawing, where the artist sketches out remembered images from her previous installations, which she says act as ‘back-drops’ for new works.
…often described as engaging in a form of ‘romantic conceptualism’, her mixed-media installations typically comprise arrangements of familiar domestic objects which invite viewers to spend time with the work and shape their own narratives from these components.
…As in previous work, Blightman is interested in examining the subjectivity of ‘mental space’ and the transformations of information that occur in any process attempting to articulate it.
Blightman will also be producing a small printed publication containing various texts written by the artist over a period of several months, along with a new collection of limited edition work which will be on sale through the gallery website.
International Project Space is open Wednesdays 12 – 7pm & Thursday-Saturday 12– 5pm, and located at BIAD School of Art Bournville.
