Artists’ News

Sarah Dobai

Studio/Location Photographs, Bristol, 1 May – 13 June 2009.

The new body of works consists of more than a dozen photographs that  
explore the nature of public space in the city. The new work positions  
public space as a force that de-stabilises the separation of the  
mainstream from the marginal and the theatrical from the everyday.  
Sarah’s first solo exhibition at WORKS|PROJECTS has been described as  
‘intensely atmospheric…revealing the detached, almost theatrical  
qualities of everyday life’ by Jessica Lack, The Guardian, and ‘a  
compelling new photographic series, infused with a haunting ethereal  
quality’, David Trigg, METRO. Studio/Location Photographs was  
featured as pick of the week in The Guardian Guide, 2-8 May 2009.

Studio/Location Photographs, Bristol - Special Event: Wednesday 10

Theatre of the Real, Antwerp, June 19 – September 13 2009

Figuring Landscapes, touring exhibition, various venues, 2009 - 2010

Figuring landscapes is a collection of moving image works grown from  
the background of political and cultural history that links the UK and  
Australia. Presented internationally as a series of screening  
programmes, the works address questions of ecological survival, post  
industrialism, gender, the touristic gaze and the social, political  
and cultural states of Indigenous people in a post-colonial society.  
Sarah’s Nettlecombe will tour various institutions across the UK  
including Tate Modern, FACT, Liverpool, Dundee Contemporary Arts and  
then through selected galleries across Australia.

Henry Moore Research Fellowship, 15th June - 15th July 2009

Typographical Memorials to Moments of Intensity and Attraction

The Henry Moore Research Fellowship at the HM Institute, Leeds, offers  
artists a four-week period to develop their research within a  
supportive environment.  Michael’s core research will be addressing  
identifying personal and national mechanisms of remembrance,  
concurrent to the vocabulary of memorial and monument in British  
Sculpture. Michael will go on to develop a new body of work that  
sculpturally delivers writings composed in order to memorialize  
moments of intensity and attraction.
