1st Worldwide Apartment and Studio Biennale
The first event by MAPBM for the 1stWASB was at The Slab in Hazelbrook. The Club Edition exhibition of thirty one artists was held on the 22nd October. The works covered performance, sound, experimental music, object and installation.
The other event, Colour Run was held on the 6th November in a studio in Woodford and resulted in a more performative interaction between the works and between the studio and the works.
ARTISTS: Fiona Davies, Beata Geyer, Sarah Keighery and Daniel Kojta
For the 1st Worldwide Apartment and Studio Biennale, Modern Art Projects held their first Studio – MAP show. Two of the group, artists Beata Geyer and Fiona Davies work with highly saturated colour but utilise the optical properties in almost opposing ways. They have quite different practices and this obsession with saturated colour is one of the few obvious points of overlap. Despite this, they share a great interest in each other’s work.
In this project, COLOUR RUN, they will be working in collaboration both as artists and as curators to analyse the processes underlying each other’s and their own practices. Using experiment and play, making and curating they will produce works together in installation in and amongst the existing work already in the studio space. A process of collaboration through cross studio residency informs this study of the site through colour, process, light and object. The work by Sarah Keighery can be seen on the wall in the top right hand corner of the image directly below.
