The Winchester Gallery - Moving Colour
7 March — 13 April 2024
Moving Colour was a multi-disciplinary group exhibition exploring phenomenological qualities in formal aspects of colour. The idea of static colour and pattern conveying emotional space is not new, and yet artists to this day are mystified by the Rubik’s cube of the proposition. Each artist’s work in this exhibition demonstrated a unique explorative path to capture the seemingly moving magic of colour.
Showcasing myriad artists’ investigations—from paint, print, sculpture, and film to participatory work that allowed the visitor to share their views on weather and mood—Moving Colour was a world in which viewers of all ages had some fun and found a space for contemplation.
Featured Artists: Rana Begum, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Eleanor Lines, Jon Malis, Bridget Riley, Julia Vogl and David Whitaker.
Event: Marimba music with James Larter.
Moving Colourwas curated by Julia Vogl, Lecturer and Fellow in Printmaking in the Department of Art and Media Technology at Winchester School of Art.
With thanks to Frankie Whitaker, Cristea Roberts Gallery, and Southampton City Art Gallery.
The Winchester Gallery - Queering Connections: Triangulation
30 January—25 February 2024
Queering Connections: Triangulation brings three women — Katherine Anteney, Sally Schuh, and Louise Siddons — together for a queer experiment in co-creative, collaborative cartography, curated in conversation with the WSA artists’ book collection.
Seattle, USA-based artist Sally Schuh works with text and image, blurring the line between printmaking and concrete poetry. Katherine Anteney, a WSA alumna based in Southampton, makes prints that explore the strangeness of words and local landscapes. Invited to collaborate, they quickly persuaded curator Louise Siddons to join in. Selections from the WSA book collection amplify the conversations their work collectively introduces about mapping, movement, disability, communication, activism, erasure, and more.
Design For Future
16 to 20 January 2024
The Winchester School of Art Global Smart Lab was established to advance research at the interface of art and design with respect to smart technologies, experiences and living. Ranging across the domains of health, well-being, education, learning and leisure, the Lab is focused on core challenges relating to the futures of AI, AR and VR, social and smart technologies, inclusivity, data culture and sustainability. In order to address real-world problems and challenges, we encouraged multidisciplinary collaborations and provided our students with opportunities to engage with world-leading researchers, external partners and end users.
The Design for Future Exhibition is based on six student live projects at Global Smart Lab and two research projects at the Design Department at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton. In these projects, our students and staff worked with expertise from a variety of disciplines, including design, engineering, computer sciences, psychology, health sciences, cultural heritage and museum studies, exploring how smart technologies can be applied to improve people’s quality of life and make our society more inclusive.
