Artcore November Newsletter

 

 
 

Happy Holidays from Artcore!

As we draw ever closer to the end of 2018 with family festivities around the corner, we'd like to start our newsletter this month by inviting you all to our Christmas Party on 13th December. This will be a day of celebration to say a big thank you to all our participants, supporters, artists and all those who've helped us this year. 

We will also be launching our "Rituals and Rites" exhibition at this event. Including work by 26 local, national and international artists, this exhibition aims to explore new perspectives on how supernatural powers, mythologies and folklore are still actively part of our lives.

We will be closing Artcore from Friday 21st December and our inhouse workshops will recommence in the New Year from Monday 14th January. Until then we have plenty going on so please have a look below at our exciting upcoming workshops and events.

Wishing you all a very good Christmas and a Happy New Year!

RITUAL AND RITES
Launch, Thursday 13th December
6-8pm, Free

Artcore would like to invite you to Rituals and Rites. This exhibition aims to explore new perspectives on how supernatural powers, part of the mythologies and folklore, of multiple cultures and cosmogonies, can be used today as a tool to examine “human nature”  cross-cultural contexts as well as investigating the societal, evolutionary and psychological significance of ritual and rites process and form with regard to understanding what constitutes ‘human nature’ today. Artworks in the show examine the key categories of magico-religious belief and practice used by anthropologists (including myth, ritual, witchcraft and shamanism), as well as surveying theories regarding the continued importance of ritual and rites in a contemporary, globalised world with regard to topics such identity, shamanism, new magic and folklore.
 
Rituals and Rites features works by: Abbie Sunter, Antonietta Sacco, Beth Bam, Conor Hurford, Christos Gkenoudis, Elizabeth Blades, Emma Brassington, Farida Makki, Frank Abbott, Ivilina Kouneva, Jenny Bramley, Jon Mayers,  Joseph Goddard, Julie Clive, Karen Logan, Olivia Punnett, Tsogt Otgonbayar, Paul Dodgson, Ruth Calland, Sara Jayne Harris, Sarah Thomas, Sarah Victoria Spence, Szilvia Ponyiczki, Tal Regev, Tim Shore, Uriya Jurik.

"On Being an Artist: reflections on an arts practice" exhibition launch

 

 

On the 15th November 2018  we launched on Being an Artist: reflections on an arts practice exhibition.
It has been a unique opportunity to present for the first time at Artcore the work of Andrew Bracey, Geoff Litherland, Jessica Harby, Kajal Nisha Patel, Tim Shore and Tracey Kershaw, individuals selected to be part of Document, a project produced by the Contemporary Visual Arts Network East Midlands.
 
Throughout the evening artists shared both  their individual and group experiences of working in this long term project. For two and a half years, the six East Midlands-based artists have shared their lives with each other and the public, exploring aspects of pursuing a career as an artist, from funding and career direction to self-doubt and work/life balance.

As part of this exhibition, Artcore had screened a series of short films created by award-winning filmmaker Bill Newsinger about each of the Document artists, commissioned by CVAN EM for the project. Kajal Patel underlined  how both the documentary and the exhibition have deeply explored their motivations, shining a light on their creative processes and given an insight into how they pursue their practices.
 
We would like to thank all those who attended the evening as well as CVAN EM for having supported the exhibition.

 

 

"This Is Derby" workshops

Throughout November and December we've been doing workshops in schools and community centres throughout Derby, teaching children new art skills and unlocking their own creativity. From mask making to printing, Word Art to concertina books there have been some amazing creations along the way and we look forward to what's to come.

 

 

 

Celebration of Youth

On the 2nd November we opened our doors to the children of Derby and had a day exploring carnival, music, arts and sports. We'd like to say a big thank you to Baby People, Derby County Community Trust, emccan and Music Partnership and of course of you who joined us for this "This Is Derby" event!
