Edwina Ashton
Mr Panz at Lake Leman, notes on m, (notes on mammals and habitat) © Edwina Ashton Edwina Ashton makes drawings, videos, performances and installations that obliquely evoke absurd notions of character and narrative. Her anthropomorphic characters expose the frailty, vanity and pathos of existence.She studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths and graduated in 1993. She is represented by Works|Projects Bristol and had solo exhibitions at Peer in 2005, Camden Arts Centre in 2006. She has exhibited in New York, Rome, Miami, Berlin and Tokyo. The film follows the daily habits of a removed, particular gentleman elephant living in a lakeside hotel. A boiled egg, leads Mr Panz to meditate on his childhood tutor, continental travels and his love for nature. As he sets off into alpine meadows the narrative fades to ambient sound. Panz carries a butterfly net, but it is uncertain whether the hunt is successful. He returns to the hotel, his thoughts opaque. At dinner a beetle scuttles unmolested across his tablecloth. Raymond Pettibon
Sunday night Saturday morning, 2005 16 min 45 sec Edition 5/5 Courtesy Regen Projects, Los Angeles, CA © Raymond Pettibon Sunday Night Saturday Morning (2005) is one of only two animations made by Pettibon. Like the drawings, these animations deny the viewer the comfort of narrative continuity and instead assault them with a barrage of pulsating, disjointed and repetitive sequences of images. Raymond Pettibon is best known for his ink drawings on paper which subvert the comic book form to create aggressive and sinister commentaries on contemporary issues. Pettibon combines imagery culled from popular American culture, including comics, cartoons, films and film noir in particular. Symbols and characters of this culture constitute repeated and therefore emphatic quotations throughout his drawings. Personal commentaries and clichéd phrases, at odds with the images, are scrawled alongside, producing hard-hitting works that belie the modesty of their production. Rendered in ink on paper, and often in a loose, expressive style, Pettibon’s very personal style represents a non-ironic quest to explore the human need for truth or belief. Raymond Pettibon born 1957, Tucson, Arizona. Lives and works in Hermosa Beach, California Pettibon has been exhibiting internationally since the 1980s. Recent solo exhibitions include, 2008: Museum of Contemporary Art at Goldman Warehouse, Miami, FL; Museum Morsbrioch, Leverkusen, Germany; National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest, Romania; 2006: Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, Spain; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY. Group exhibitions in 2008 include: Guggenheim Museum, Berlin, Germany; Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, USA. Markus Vater
The Rescue courtesy Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf © Markus Vater 1 min 11 sec Drawing is the foundation of Markus Vater’s practice but he also makes paintings, photographs and animations. Vater studied philosophy and art which has had a profound affect on his approach to art-making and in particular influences works that combine drawing and text. Many of these take the form of short animations which are drawn on the computer. Markus Vater born 1970, Düsseldorf. Lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions include Wilhelm Hack Museums, Ludwigshafen (2009); Sies + Höke Galerie, Düsseldorf (2008); art agents gallery, Hamburg (2007); ZINGERpresents, Amsterdam.
