CÉLESTE BOURSIER-MOUGENOT : NEW COMMISSION FOR THE CURVE
Feb 27 - May 23, 2010
Trained as a musician and composer, French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing on the rhythms of daily life to produce sound in unexpected ways. His installation for The Curve will take the form of a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other instruments and objects. As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.

TESTBED 1
Mar 1 - Jul 18, 2010
Michael Curran in collaboration with Lucy Gunning, Anthony Gross, Lilli Hartmann, Pil and Galia Kollectiv, Dafna Talmor, Joseph Walsh
 
In a time when millions of viewers have access to the Internet, video/cameras and home-editing suites, a circulated YouTube clip becomes a conversational spectacle overnight. With the proliferation and advancement of technology, the creative process itself has become more democratic and has enabled people en masse to become not only viewers but ‘creators’. TestBed 1 responds to popular practice by inviting artists working with the moving image to produce and present artworks using the prevalent modes of production readily available - in the context of a professional art space.
 
Participating artists will work in the Beaconsfield galleries from March to August in a series of residencies. During this time the public is invited to witness our galleries turn laboratories, turn performance and production sites. Check website for weekly schedule and FlatScreen programme.

COMMA : MARC CAMILLE CHAIMOWICZ
Mar 4 - 20, 2010
Internationally acclaimed artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz’s work has remained consistent for almost three decades in relation to performance, place, and decoration. Using a quiet poetic sense, a delicate wafting regard to wallpaper, carpet, object and furniture, Chaimowicz has always placed the spirit of performance within the spaces in which he works.
When invited to respond and create a new commission for the rear gallery at Bloomberg SPACE, Chaimowicz, a creator of furnished fictional contexts, was immediately inspired by the potential of contrasting the modern office atrium with his own particular approach to decorative installation. He intends to suspend within the atrium a series of carpets, crafted in France to his own design, to create a series of moving ‘magic’ carpets.
