Occupant

Grey Area
Basement

8th - 28th November 2010

Grey Area presents Occupant, a series of 3 week long artist residencies within the gallery which will each culminate in the making of new work and a public event.

The residencies will take place during successive weeks in November 2010, providing 3 selected artists/groups with the opportunity to occupy the gallery from Monday-Sunday of that same week.

Grey Area will provide each Occupant with the staples of space, tools, a timescale, and a set of keys.

The parameters for what might constitute an outcome for the Occupant residencies are flexible and permeable. As much a process of the studio as of the gallery.

Participants are invited to consider how their project may or may not be constituted as an object, subject, event, or non-event.

As each residency will have different times and degrees of public engagement, additional information on residency events will follow with little warning as the week of an Occupant takes shape.

Grey Area was originally founded as a dual studio/gallery, and so Occupant marks a return of sorts – to concurrent processes of making and display. To occupy is to seize - a week, a residency, an exhibition. Or all 3.

HUNG – an exhibition curated by Stuart Sandford
Bruce LaBruce // Slava Mogutin // Walter Pfeiffer // Conrad Ventur // Paul Mpagi Sepuya // Gio Black Peter // Brian Kenny // Billy Miller // Jan Wandrag // Jesse Finley Reed // Stuart Sandford

HUNG is an exhibition curated by the artist Stuart Sandford featuring photographic, video, installation works and works on paper. The show brings together a group of both emerging and established international artists whose work explores ideas of sex and sexuality and the male form. Taking inspiration from the LA and NYC sex clubs and gay movie theatres of the 70s and 80s, the exhibition space will be transformed into a place where sex, money and the smell of amyl nitrate are the order of the day.

In this conversation with Mark Waugh, Executive Director of A Foundation and Curator of Tatsumi Orimoto’s recent retrospective in the UK which included hundreds of documentary photos and video works of Orimoto’s recorded performances, Orimoto will reveal the motivations and meanings behind his work, and explain the processes of his creative activities, as well as the relation between his work, his personal life and society.

Orimoto lives and works with his mother Odei Orimoto in Kawasaki City, Japan. He has shown extensively in exhibitions and major museums across Asia, Europe, USA, and South America.

Tatsumi Orimoto - Bread Man Talking

The Japan Foundation, London
Russell Square House
10-12 Russell Square
WC1B 5EH

15 October 2010

Tatsumi Orimoto is a leading name in the global performance art scene known for his seemingly bizarre work in which he deals with everyday life, ageing and questions of communication. Orimoto’s persona of Bread Man, whereby he appears with his face obscured by bread, is a clear example of what Orimoto describes as “communication art” and attracts many bewildered and curious looks from passers-by as they are invited to engage in his world.

Together with other works such as the more moving Art Mama, in which his mother who suffers from Alzheimers is the main subject, Orimoto condenses in his work his interpretation of reality and true life by surrounding us with scenes of calculated absurdity and dry humour.

In this illustrated conversation with Mark Waugh, Executive Director of A Foundation and Curator of Tatsumi’s recent retrospective in the UK which included hundreds of documentary photos and video works of Tatsumi’s recorded performances, Tatsumi will reveal the motivations and meanings behind his work, and explain the processes of his creative activities, as well as the relation between his work, his personal life and society.

This event offers a very unique recounting of Tatsumi’s highly respected artistic career which spans from the 1970s and has seen him delight and intrigue audiences wherever he goes, from international exhibitions such as Venice Biennale to the streets of London.
