ARC SYMPOSIUM: The Artist Behind the City

Collishaw studied at Goldsmiths College of Art and took part in the FREEZE exhibition curated by Damien Hirst at Surrey Docks in London in 1988 exhibiting the now celebrated Bullet Hole.  He became known for brutal, confrontational and challenging work. In the mid-90s he began manipulating photographs of lilies and amaryllis, transforming these blooms into flowers riddled with disease.  The effect was both alluring and repulsive. Photographs from Mat Collishaw’s Insecticides series feature in The Nature of the Beast at The New Art Gallery Walsall from 26 April  – 30 June 2013.

Critical Spaces events: Birmingham
Event date / location  tbc.
Critical Spaces are events are for socially-engaged artists who want to be part of a hyper-local critical support network. The events will be collaboratively developed in response to the interests/concerns of the local artists. Artists will come together to engage in dialogue around their work, in a playful and critical way; to improve and strengthen their practice; and form a collective voice. (The meetings are intentionally lo-fi, to eliminate the need for specialist equipment or facilities, and empower a DIY approach to generating critical discourse and support. As such, there are no costs associated with participation.) If you describe your art practice as socially-engaged, site-specific, situationist, public, community or outreach then sign up.
