This new work, though, is more than exciting, it is exhilarating. Her mix-media & collage pieces \u2013 reflecting on subjects both near and far \u2013 are a revelation. They show us a fearless artist at the peak of her powers making beautiful, complex images that have the intellectual quality and intricate, flowing patterns of a Piranesi landscape. When I look at these new paintings, I can feel the presence of the artist. It is as if she is standing beside me. No more so than with the incredible Between Memory and Loss, Hope (Sunflowers), a magnificent work that radiates with colour and energy and hope and joy. I love it. I love it all.

Opening 3 April 6-8pm 





When sunlight struggles to pierce the darkest hour of the night, and dreams are at their most vivid, the moment at daybreak marks an ambiguous state of transition that defies binary distinctions. This threshold moment, imbued with ambivalent, undefinable, and heterotopic qualities, is captured by its Japanese term '\u591c\u660e\u3051' (yoake). Literally meaning 'the night becoming bright,\u2019 the two kanji characters \u2018\u591c\u660e\u2019 symbolises a journey from the unknown to the known, where creativity and a discovery of truth emerge through the very act of crossing, transitioning, and navigating ambiguity. The Ignition Project\u2019s debut exhibition, At Daybreak, brings together the works of Himani Gupta, Ling Pui Sze, Natasha Malik, Qian Qian, and Amy Steel to explore how the poetics of liminality and ambivalence hold the potential to ignite their creative praxis of everyday worldmaking.","exhibition_start":"2024-04-03 10:00:00","exhibition_end":"2024-04-15 18:00:00","highlighted":"0","calendar_item_only":"0","published":"1","deleted":"0","_media":{"id":"4312","created":"2024-03-28 11:08:43","modified":"2024-03-28 11:11:16","res_type":"image","res_id":"0","content_id":"595","image_id":"7329","disp_order":"0","title":"Amy Steel 1.jpg","description":"","published":"0","deleted":"0"},"artists":[],"site_url":"exhibition\/at-daybreak-ignition-project-april-2024","tags":{"painting":{"id":"84","created":"2016-04-20 10:31:17","modified":"2016-04-20 10:31:17","cat_slug":"technique","tag_slug":"painting","tag_label":"Painting","published":"0","deleted":"0"},"painterly":{"id":"42","created":"2011-11-30 11:12:47","modified":"2011-11-30 11:12:47","cat_slug":"genre","tag_slug":"painterly","tag_label":"Painterly","published":"0","deleted":"0"},"abstract":{"id":"31","created":"2011-11-30 11:10:33","modified":"2011-11-30 11:10:33","cat_slug":"genre","tag_slug":"abstract","tag_label":"Abstract","published":"0","deleted":"0"}}},{"id":"591","created":"2024-02-22 15:39:12","modified":"2024-02-28 10:01:19","title":"Spring Awake! \/ Jill George Gallery","extract":"SPRING AWAKE!

The golden age would probably not have dawned on Poland if it had not been for the Vistula, the only thoroughfare of the time, by which timber, grain, and other goods were floated on the river. The boats went to Gdansk and then around the world. The Vistula and its tributaries are the lifeblood of Poland.

Since prehistory, it was along river banks that the first inhabitants settled, the first settlements were established, and the most important cities were built and developed. The photographs in this exhibition are the result of two years of work by Wiktor and two years living in Urzecze. At least 20 photographs will be on display. 45x25 cm on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta 315 gsm paper.

Wiktor is a cameraman, photographer and drone operator. He took the drone shots for Ewa Ewart\u2019s film \u201cDo ostatniej kropli\u201d [To the Last Drop] in 2023. This film won the "Golden Nymph" award - the Prince Rainier Award for the best documentary film at the 62nd Television Festival in Monte Carlo and 1st prize in the category "Oceans and their protection" at the Deauville Green Awards Festival in France

He was cinematographer for \u201cZaginione Urzecze\u201d [The lost Urzecze] (2020 ), \u201cPie\u015b\u0144 Buntu\u201d [Song of Rebellion] by the R.U.T.A. Band.

Elliott Erwitt: Personal Bests will present six decades of the photographer\u2019s sharp observation, from humorous street scenes to historic documentation.

The photograph demonstrates Erwitt\u2019s creativity, presenting a unique view of New York from the perspective of a dog.
 
Erwitt\u2019s career rocketed when he was invited to join Magnum Photos in the early 1950s. The exhibition will feature important photographs from many of his assignments, including \u201cthe kitchen cabinet debate\u201d between President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev in 1959 and Che Guevara in the wake of the Cuban Revolution (1964).

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Born in 1928 in Paris to Russian parents, Erwitt spent his childhood in Milan, where the family moved shortly after his birth. In 1939, Erwitt\u2019s family took the last ship out of peacetime Europe, arriving in New York five days after the outbreak of war. He studied photography at Los Angeles City College, but returned to New York at eighteen. Drafted into the US Army 1951, Erwitt continued to photograph during his service, carrying a Leica with a collapsible lens in the pocket of his uniform. After joining Magnum in 1953, he became one of the world\u2019s most successful and influential photographers, completing three terms as the president of the agency, of which he is still a member.

Erwitt\u2019s photograph of his wife, his six-day-old daughter and their cat, was included in Edward Steichen\u2019s significant photography exhibition The Family of Man in 1955 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Over twenty retrospective photography books of his work have been published and he has been honoured by numerous solo shows at establishments such as the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art and the Chicago Art Institute. In 2015, he was awarded the Outstanding Contribution to Photography Award by the World Photography Organisation. He lives and works in New York.

Since then, she has consistently captured her most personal moments with a collection of over several 100,000 life events. As time is becoming today\u2019s most valuable asset, she invites us through an artistic and immersive exploration, to reflect on the power of our MEMORY and its ability, once enriched with photography and diaries to give us a stronger appreciation of our past to better apprehend our future.

Stephanie is thus tapping into moments, emotions and experiences of the past to re-create blended present fictional photographic moments that only belong to oneself. Through the phenomena of \u201cd\u00e9j\u00e0-vu\u201d, it also awakens our ability to go back in time and our desire for ubiquity: to be present everywhere at the same time.

According to Stephanie, exploiting the freedom to travel back in time and space in her memory gave her the power to imagine a world that hasn\u2019t been created yet. A world of recall moments composed of two images, that once assembled and layered, respond to each other, through a fine play of transparency. 

With meticulous care, Stephanie artfully selects moments that resonate with each other, crafting unique prints that reflect not only her thoughts and images but also the chronicle of her life, into journals. These journals, known as\u201d life diaries\u201d, have been brought to life by diligently capturing three meaningful moments daily. That\u2019s over 8,500 days, painstakingly handwritten. Alongside her camera, these diaries have been her constant companions for the past 23 years from the back of a rickshaw in India to the ice floe of Antarctica, ever since she embarked on her journey in the vibrant city of London, on March 31st, 2000.

With over 25,570 smiles, tearful moments, wonders, rencontres, destinations, accomplishments Be (t)here exploration sits at the intersection of art, neuroscience and well-being translating into a meaningful stream of recreated emotions and a deep appreciation for life.

The exploration through time and space converges with the work of interdisciplinary digital artist and sensorialist, Judith Darmont. Stephanie and Judith have chosen to team up to take people on a unique journey the week of the 30th of October combining a photography exhibition with an opening on the 1st of November at Coningsby Gallery and a vibrant and multimedia interpretation of Be(t)here from Judith which will take place the evening of the 3rd of November at Old Session House, a uniquely restore landmark building.

Considering the strong social and economic impact of memory loss, Stephanie has also chosen through the Be(t)here exploration to support Alzheimer's Society,  a charity that is focusing on curing and preventing Alzheimer\u2019s disease, an increasingly damaging cause, that has affected her close family members alongside another 50 million people worldwide today. 

Proceeds generated by printed photography sales (10%), the exhibition preview evening (50% of entries) and associated immersion exploration evening (30% of entries) will be donated to Alzheimer\u2019s Society.

About Stephanie Be.

As a self-taught amateur photographer, Stephanie Be. has developed a real passion for photography capturing the world through her lens. Over the last decades, her studies and work take her across 7 continents and 45 countries and civilizations where landscapes and people became her favourite subjects. In 2013, she runs her first solo Exhibition \u201cAntarcticart\u201d in London, dedicated to drive awareness of endangered remote polar regions. Over the years, she discovers cultures with the same eagerness for experiences and knowledge. In the heart of a city with dizzying energy or a nature with soothing virtues, she captures these moments through her memory, her pen and her camera, both became natural extensions of her eye. Her enthusiasm to share her work is also not only driven by the pleasure to cause a stir but also by the ability to always collectively support a great cause. While supporting Sightsavers in 2013, a charity that provides on-site treatment, education and training for blind and visually impaired people, Stephanie has chosen through the Be (t)here exploration to support the prevention of dementia, a cause that is affecting 55 million people worldwide and 955k in the UK alone. A number that is expected to reach 139 million in 2050.

About Judith Darmont

Judith Darmont is an interdisciplinary digital artist and sensorialist. She experiments with the expanded use of digital technologies and new media to create digital paintings, installations, video art, sculptures; the creative space is multiplied in a field where techniques evolve exponentially.

And it is in this perspective that the dialogue with other artistic universes: music, architecture, dance, writing, is very quickly inscribed. It generates the creation of multiple ephemeral and immersive works. Strong of this will to push back the limits, to experiment, to exert an acute curiosity, she goes to meet other places such as brands and corporations to carry her artistic message and her poetry. This has led her to more than 300 prestigious collaborations.

About Old Session House

The Session Starts Here: The Old Sessions House, which since the 1780s has looked out over Clerkenwell Green, is embarking on a new life as a Knotel \u2018workclub\u2019, offering a variety of elegant spaces to its clients. Previously, London\u2019s largest courthouse, Old Sessions House is today a diverse mix of working environments. Managed by Knotel, the Grade-II* listed building has now become the leading workspace platform\u2019s first-ever \u2018workclub\u2019. Boasting an impressive set of refined meeting rooms, breakout areas and cosy work zones, the business has reimagined the 18th-century structure as an exciting place to work, connect and innovate: \u201cWhen we started this project, we asked ourselves what is the future of work? Instead of writing a paper, we wanted to build something. This is the first iteration of this idea\u201d, Shawn Adams, Creative Director at Old Session House.

Maybe the kiss was enough. Most of my work trails through a sequence of incidents which might happen, or which will happen, or which can never happen. On this journey I want the spectator to be challenged and amused. The purpose of my pictures is to relate to the complicated lives we all live. \u2018The Kiss\u2019 is a neat summation of what is going on in the other works in the show.
In my series \u2018Burns and McGonagall\u2019 I create an unlikely duo - my Two Musketeers who get into all sorts of scrapes. They are loosely based on Robert Burns, the Scottish National Poet and William Topaz McGonagall reckoned to be one of the world\u2019s worst poets. Living in different times they never could have met, let alone become chums. McGonagall unfailingly puts his foot in it. Burns is the serious one, although even he has his fling. Each painting is an independent work but the whole series is a kind of visual French Farce exploring ideas from Babysitting to working for Scrooge.
My Icarus paintings are again individual works, although in a series which deals as much with Icarus attempts to get off the ground as getting too near the sun. The interest in Icarus came out of looking closely at the work of Joseph Wright of Derby, whose light filled landscapes seemed to invite Icarus to make an attempt at the sun. I have painted a version of his iconic \u2018Experiment with an air pump\u2019 that accord with my passion for pictures that trade in consequences.
My new painting, \u2018Cargo\u2019, a successor to the earlier \u2018Ship\u2019 painting, deals with the many sided idea of what we carry and send around the world. On the quayside cages of wild animals, mountains of fruit, dancing couples, a collection of cricket bats, bicycles, grandfather clocks and robots prepare to be shipped. Entering the harbour is the \u2018Black Freighter\u2019 a ghost ship. De-forestation is going on in the top right side of the painting. This is about the consequences of exploitation.
Another new painting is called \u2018The Human Pyramid\u2019. Icarus arrives at Talent Night and sees many weird and wonderful goings-on including the eponymous Human Pyramid. We are all dependent on each other, but at the same time alone. There are many ways to get to the sun.
Every year I make work about places that I have visited and this show will include my \u2018Red roofs of Shimoda\u2019 from my trip to Japan in 2022, where I painted a group of new houses with bright red roofs in the small town of Shimoda a couple of hours away from Tokyo. Also there will be my drawing \u2018Uttar Pradesh landscape\u2019 and my painting \u2018Beirut 2022\u2019. In these apparently straightforward works there is still an agenda
of narrative consequences. Chris Orr, July 2023
