On the 25th October at 1pm in the Watercolour Gallery the Harris Museum & Art Gallery hosted a lunchtime talk by Lubaina Himid in which she discussed her latest archive intervention and curatorial project.
Moments that Matter : Trophy Cups a collaboration between WE PLAY EXPO Harris Museum & Art Gallery and artists Lubaina Himid, Rebecca Chesney, Susan Walsh and Denise Swanson. Exhibition ran from 31 August – 3 November
Thousands of people in the North West have been directly involved in sporting and creative projects connected with the London 2012 Olympics. The impact of this participation was often very significant and the memories will last for years for many people. This archive project by international artist Lubaina Himid, Professor of Contemporary Art at UCLan, visualises 45 of their stories in a series called Moments that Matter. Each of the 45 Trophy Cups painted on paper is individually made using the unique words and descriptions shared by participants with the artist. These paintings are shown along with two small artworks around creativity and sport in addition to a display of working drawings and research material.. These in turn are seen alongside contemporary maps by Susan Walsh and Rebecca Chesney depicting hidden treasures and untold stories from across Preston.
Look out for the Moments that Matter banners in the windows of shops as you enjoy the celebrations.

Significant Other: Invisible People – Hidden Skills is an attempt to give recognition to the varied histories and skills of the many homeless people who find themselves continually ‘sleeping rough’ and to acknowledge them as the multi faceted and knowledgeable people they can be. Memory and identity are important factors within the work of Susan Walsh which ranges from installations to photography and moving image. It is both gallery and site based and incorporates an on-going investigation into basic-needs survival, using the device of either temporary memorial or mini museum. The English Heritage Blue Plaques we see in many cities, citing the skills and achievements of well-known important men and women (X Lived Here) make visible, with pride, the efforts made by select members of society, both now and throughout history. Based on this she has created a series of ‘Alternative’ Blue Plaques to be placed in specific places in Preston. These plaques are intended to show some small acknowledgment of the way many homeless people exist and survive without permanent shelter in 2012. The temporary shelter locations selected for this project can be found on the Significant Other map - each one highlighted with a number. These sites are sometimes in less desirable areas, sometimes well hidden, occasionally surprising, rarely comfortable or warm, and often in the public gaze of the busy high street. Recent projects include: Satellite Navigation, The Journey and Installation. Oxhey’s Mill Studios Preston 2012, Rub A Tub Senior - Invisible Wash PSL Project Space Leeds 2011, To Scatter In Certain Places St Wilfrids Church, Preston 2010
Natura in minima maxima Preston based artist Rebecca Chesney explores and reveals changing environments and the impact of human activity, creating artworks that not only capture a sense of wonder in the natural world but also the inescapable struggle between survival and death. One ongoing strand of her work started in 2006 when she conducted a weed survey of Preston city centre that revealed over 70 different species of plant within the urban environment. Exploring the ecology of the city and researching stories and myths behind the plants Rebecca has extended this project to create a new map for Preston that reveals the hidden fauna of the familiar. Recent projects have included an Arts Council funded trip to Japan to research native and non-native species of Dandelion and a year-long residency at Yorkshire Sculpture Park researching the bees and plants of the Bretton Estate.Earlier this year Rebecca was commissioned by Landlife to create two acres of meadow for Everton Park in Liverpool. Divided into two square plots, one acre is made entirely of yellow flowering plants and one acre is of entirely blue flowering plants. She is currently artist in residence at The Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth, Yorkshire. www.rebeccachesney.com
Denise Swanson has photographed each Moments that Matter painting and has co-designed the banners which can be seen across the city. She is a photographer, print-maker and co-founder of Oxhey’s Mills studios Preston. She is well-known for her abstract photographs of wild plants through which she aims to reveal the structure and order of the natural world.
Commissioned by Cultural Olympiad and Nations and Regions Group, North West.Presented by WE PLAY EXPO as part of Cultural
Olympiad in partnership with Preston Guild 2012.Supported by Arts Council England, Legacy Trust UK and University of Central

Supercollider
Lisa Wigham - In The Fall
Wighams background as a printmaker and the pursuit of the depiction of landscape has lead to a preoccupation with change of season and its metaphors for human emotions.
In The Fall utilises the double meaning of fall as a point of departure - the word fallrecalling both a seasonal reference and a state of losing footing or balance. For Wigham this state is considered a component to creativity; in that the creative processes possess a cycle of problems to resolutions. The fall is, therefore, part of the story of its production. The fall retains the suggestion of English melancholy in a transatlantic location.

David Mackintosh: The Curtain
Private View: Thursday 28 April 2011, 6pm-8pm
Exhibition continues: Friday 29 April Sunday 19 June 2011
Chapter would like to invite you to the opening of our forthcoming exhibition, The Curtain a solo exhibition of new works by David Mackintosh on Thursday 28 April 2011.
David Mackintoshs disarmingly simple drawings are by turns nave and macabre; mundane then exciting; graphically simple and yet expressively complex. Rendered in a limited palette of black, red, green and yellow gouache, the tone of his works is both intricate and elusive, their graphic presence sharing much of the language of cartoon or illustration. But there is something about the seemingly straightforward spontaneity of his marks loaded as they are with salaciousness, humour and pathos that suggests a further reading or intonates that the composition of the subject is anything but one-dimensional.
Recently, the complexity of the drawings psychological landscapes has been matched with a formal expansion of the possibility of drawing beyond the limitations of the page.
For Chapter, Mackintosh has created a number of new works that continue this expansion of his practice using animation, music and three-dimensional forms.
David Mackintosh was born in Sunderland in 1966; he lives and works in Manchester. Recent solo presentations include Cornerhouse, Manchester (2010) and Spike Island, Bristol (2008) and he has exhibited in group shows at the Tegnebiennale, Norway (2010); Contemporary Art Society, London (2009) and Gallery Praxis Hagen, Berlin (2007). He has work in Collection Berge Madrid, Ernst & Young London and in private collections throughout Europe and America.
David Mackintosh is represented by WORKSPROJECTS.

CUBELab: Jason Minsky and William Titley
Something in the Pipeline is an unusual residency involving a gallery exhibition and a challenging live outdoor performance.
Artists Jason Minsky and William Titley are preparing to embark on a long journey from Haweswater in Cumbria to Heaton Park in Manchester. The lost village of Mardale Green in Cumbria was flooded to create Haweswater to cope with Manchesters increasing demand for water as the city expanded.
From 17th February the artists will embark on a complex multi-faceted active research programme that will challenge them: mentally, physically, emotionally and perhaps spiritually.
Their base camp will be here at CUBE and forms part of our CUBELab Residency Programme. 18.02.2011 to 16.04.2011

GLOBAL STUDIO
The Bluecoat - Global Studio Exhibition
Aspects of contemporary printmaking, graphic processes of communication
Global as a concept is not necessarily about nationality, geography or place but more a question of attitude, a political commitment, a strategy and ambition to explore significant social and cultural questions through creative practice, dialogue and forms of communication.
Over the last ten years the landscape for the creative practice of Printmaking has changed, the advent of global communication has enabled much greater international collaboration and for a wider community of Printmakers across the world to be connected. Printmaking, both in its message and its production, has always been primarily a democratic and collaborative process. These factors have allowed printmaking to quietly gain a more pivotal role in mainstream contemporary art practice.

Cornerhouse Manchester
David Mackintosh: The Edge of Things
From Sat 23 January to Sun 28 March
The Edge of Things is a major solo exhibition by artist David Mackintosh featuring a selection of new and recent work.
Mackintoshs practice centres around drawing; for more than a decade Mackintosh has been creating deceptively simple drawings that reveal a world that is both mundane and macabre exploring ideas of dislocation, isolation and indecision. Images of sex and death - a dismembered head, a warship, a naked torso sit alongside depictions of everyday life - a man walking his dog, a flock of birds. His work presents a dark and unsettling world view, but one which is permeated throughout by humour.
The Edge of Things will showcase some of Mackintoshs most recent work, revealing the development of his practice into time based and installation mediums that explore the relationship between drawing, animation and sculpture, and exploring a growing concern with narrative.
The exhibition includes: a large-scale wall painting The Woods, a new stop-frame animation which brings Mackintoshs surreal drawings to life, and a free-standing sculptural structure that houses a new body of works on paper, alongside a selection of his signature style drawings.
