Welcome

Within this booklet you will discover six months worth of exhibitions, events, experiences and activities.

For those who don’t know us yet, we are a charitable arts organisation serving the Island community by supporting artists from Jersey and across the world to create ambitious work to inspire and entertain. The art we support and produce can be seen in galleries, performance venues, schools, care-homes, Parish Halls, online and some less likely spaces too.

For all the latest ArtHouse Jersey news, updates and opportunities be sure to sign up to our newsletter by entering your email address on our homepage at www.arthousejersey.je

We are principally based between two fantastically different sites. Greve de Lecq Barracks is situated on the north-west coast of the Island and is where we call home. Featuring studios and accommodation for artists, this creative hub supports work in development. It is also where you’ll find one off pop up art exhibitions and live music, poetry, spoken word and film nights.

Our exhibition space in St Helier, ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House, is situated beside the Royal Square, alongside St Helier Town Church. Here you will find dynamic exhibitions, events, workshops and experiences, from the intimate Memory Bar, a tasting menu of cocktails served with projection and new technologies, to The Sound of Colour, a digital arts exhibition that takes you on a sensory journey of how we experience the world around us. This year we are also delighted to be bringing to Jersey the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize exhibition, the UK’s most prestigious drawing competition and exhibition. There really is something for everyone to be discovered in this very central and surprising space.

We are proud to call ourselves a cross arts organisation and we continuously strive to reach as many people in Jersey as possible by offering positive, inspiring and memorable experiences. If you haven’t joined us yet, perhaps now’s the time to get involved. And why not consider signing up to our newsletter (via arthousejersey.je) and be among the first to know about some of the most exciting cultural offerings our Island has to offer.

FRIDAY 7 & SATURDAY 8 OCTOBER St. James Centre, St Helier 7.30pm

What Do You See? By The PappyShow presented by ArtHouse Jersey in partnership with Royal Bank of Canada

‘What Do You See?’ is a new piece of theatre devised by the celebrated contemporary, physical theatre company, ‘The Pappy Show’. The piece explores diversity, inclusion and personal unconscious bias.

Directed, created, designed and performed by a whole community of London based representative voices, it embodies the company’s belief that the most diverse rooms are the richest and most likely to thrive. This work celebrates the diverse identities of ‘The PappyShow’ and builds on the research they have been carrying

out with different community groups over the past three years, including time spent in residence with ArtHouse Jersey. The show aims to provoke a wider discussion on how our individual life experiences have led us to seeing the world through a particular lens. It provokes questions on stereotyping, equity, noting the varying privileges our lives are built upon and the different starting points each of our audiences have.

What Do You See by The PappyShow

The Sound of Colour

TUESDAY 11 TO SUNDAY 29 OCTOBER ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House

The Sound of Colour

A continuation of our The Sound of Colour series, this dazzling exhibition takes you on a sensory journey through the work of four artists responding to how we perceive and experience the world around us.

From tracking body movements to invisible weather patterns, subatomic particles and a dazzling exploration of ‘liquid time’ through the music of Monteverdi, The Sound of Colour is an invitation to be moved by the micro to the macro, from the smallest sound of an insect to an outer-sensory imagining of bodies and memory moving through space.

Featuring works by Kimatica (UK), Semiconductor (UK), Adam Busanta (Canada) and a newly commissioned sound score and visual environment by Berlin-based composer Burak Özdemir (Germany).

The opening work ‘Relax and Release’ by Kimatica uses body tracking technology to create an interactive environment which generates a video wall created by the audience’s own movements and presence.

Moving further Into the exhibition the audience will discover two works by artist duo Semiconductor whose work translates highly specific scientific data to create short films and richly textured composite visual installations. ‘Parting the Waves’ uses data from quantum simulations of subatomic and atomic particles to generate a visual pattern that demonstrates how matter is in a constant state of movement.

Heading deeper into the internal spaces of Capital House, the audience will enter the work ‘Vertigo’ by Berlin-based composer and musician Burak Ozdemir who traverses time and space with a cross century collaboration with the renowned composer Monteverdi, drawing the audience into a magical digital landscape of evolving visuals accompanied by a spellbinding six part musical composition.

Finally exhibition visitors will arrive to a brightly lit space which houses the work Curtain (White) by artist and experimental music composer Adam Busanta. Patterns of white noise sweep across the curtain which on closer listening is revealed as individual channels of highly sensitive recordings of the sounds of nature.

Free entry No booking necessary

FRIDAY 15 & SATURDAY 16 OCTOBER Grève de Lecq Barracks

‘ArtHouse Jersey Pop Up’ is a series of six pop up art exhibitions featuring local artists scattered across the year that take place at our HQ. The project invites people to ‘pop up’ to our HQ at Grève de Lecq Barracks to enjoy the work of artists in our unique exhibition space. It also offers visitors the chance to get a better insight into artists’ work and practices and perhaps purchase something special.

'Through Three Women's Eyes' is a collaborative exhibition and will be a celebration of the world seen through three very different women. Lisa Troy's latest body of work is inspired by the unseen and is a combination of paintings and pyrography. It will be a collection of artworks inspired by places that people may not usually notice the beauty in. Lucy Fleming is recognised for her Lino print and Cyanotype pieces, and for this exhibition she will be exploring these mediums around the theme of ‘Small worlds within a greater world’. Finally, Sophie de Faye is on a new life journey. After finding herself single after many years she has thrown herself into watercolour painting and is delighted to have found a new zest to paint.

Roszada

A Claude Cahun inspired exhibition by Joanna Krawczyk

Joanna Krawczyk is a Polish photographer and filmmaker who studied the works and life of Claude Cahun while at the Academy of Art in Szczecin in 2021 and has been inspired by two of Cahun’s works which open up intriguing perspectives and questions around genderplay, form, social hierarchy, performativity and identity.

The series of photographs depict multiple figures who investigate and reshape their situation through repositioning the roles of spectator, recipient and contributor. The act of looking and becoming, and becoming the image within a performative gesture of repetition, balances an approximate distance to the source photographs. The multitude of the performance’s depictions stems from the search for resemblance in difference and difference in similarity.

Exploding

Exploding Cinema will present two jampacked nights of underground short films; experimental, documentary and fiction, with both events featuring live music and their immoderately mind-bending visuals.

For over 30 years Exploding Cinema have platformed short film in all its stellar hybrid forms. Two fingers defiantly thrust in the face of convention, they have tirelessly championed rough and ready outsiders, the outrageously below radar, the quirkishly beautiful and sometimes downright ugly. Showcasing work from all over the world in squats, basements, car parks, swimming pools, anywhere they can project an image. They explode cinema beyond the screen across walls and ceilings wherever they go. And in their own words, it’s high time they lit a torch for underground film in the Channel Islands.

As well as the screening nights, on Sunday the Exploding Cinema team will be holding workshops (some child friendly) where you’re invited to come along and learn how to create and stage your own visual mayhem.

Greve de Lecq Barracks

This solo Pop Up exhibition by James Thompson explores mental health through photography. The images are designed to examine different mental states as well as aiming to open up conversations around mental health.

Photography is used to reveal how James has felt at various points in his journey, both positive and negative. The ocean as a source of relaxation has been one of the biggest inspirations for this project. James hopes his

work will resonate with viewers or help them understand the feelings of others. In James’s view, art, like mental health, is individual. What one person experiences may be completely opposite to another.

ARTHOUSE JERSEY POP UP ‘Oceans & Emotions' by James Thompson

‘Recollect’

exhibition featuring Memory B Pop Up Exhibition: Oceans & Emotions by James Thompson

FRIDAY 9 TO FRIDAY 23 DECEMBER ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House

Island by Ian Rolls

This latest exhibition by Ian Rolls is about identity: the identity of Jersey and our own identities as formed by this Island.

Rolls believes that the identity of any place depends not on the place, but on the observer. This series of oil paintings is conceived as one big artwork, made up of a number of small artworks of the same size, style and technique. Each one is essentially a patchwork of coloured islands on a black background. Each one is very simple and stylised. But each one represents a place to which we bring our own associations.

POP UP EXHIBITION

Amber Hahn

Amber Hahn is an artist whose current practice comprises installation, sculpture and performance. Her work delves into the ambiguities and essential opacity of human experience.

SATURDAY 4 & SUNDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2023 Greve de Lecq Barracks

She slowly produces objects, images and environments that make perceptual that which is often at the limit of language: the overlooked, the minor or the silenced. Hahn's endeavour has a quiet political charge, hopeful of enabling human beings to relate to one another in deeply private experiences of life and otherness, perhaps otherwise indescribable. Her practice is also concerned with spatial experience, in particular the interior. Through an abstracted grammar of the everyday, she sources personal experiences and literary references for moments of complexity and ambiguity.

Visiting Artist Residencies

We welcome artists working in all disciplines to join us at our unique home at the Greve de Barracks on Jersey’s north coast, inviting them to take time to create new work in a tranquil and inspiring setting. Visits often lead to long-lasting, mutually beneficial creative relationships, ones that benefit the artist, whilst contributing to ArtHouse Jersey’s programme and nourishing Jersey’s cultural landscape. A few examples of this season’s visiting artists are…

David Gaffney & his Berlin band

David Gaffney is a Jersey-born Germanybased musician. Over the course of a eight day residency, David and his band will write 4 new songs, taking in sounds and inspiration from Jersey. facebook.com/davidcgaffney

Kuo-Chen (Kacy) Jung

Kacy is a Taiwanese visual artist based in San Francisco, specialising in photosculpture, who is working on an interview project, called 21 Grams, the Weight of Souls series. She looks to find artists who’ve worked in other professions before they became artists. kacyjung.com

Clumsy Bodies

Oli Isaac & Jess Rahman-González are two trans and disabled artists who make unconventional theatre. They make work about trans issues through the lens of their romantic relationship. clumsybodies.com

Karl Murphy, Rachel Steele, Lewis G Burton, Sweat Mother, James Tailor, Adam Perchard

Leaving the surrealists in Paris, Queer artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore called Jersey their home. In those times of shifting perception and experimentation, the everchanging duo were too dangerous for even their contemporaries and so Cahun found refuge in Jersey, where they were free to live as they wished. This history has sparked the idea for a residency to bring together a collective of UK and Jersey-born artists, culminating in an exhibition showcasing inspired photography, film, visual and performing arts. karljmurphy.com

Making Art Partnerships in Schools (MAPS)

Making Art Partnerships in Schools has been developed by Genesis Education, an arts partnership between ArtHouse Jersey and Children, Young People, Education & Skills (CYPES).

MAPS is a pilot training and educational programme being developed in collaboration with artists and teachers to enhance the delivery and provision for art in schools. The project launched in the summer with a brilliant three day training programme to develop creative partnerships between artists and teachers. Through these partnerships we will work to support the development and delivery of 8 unique projects in different schools across the island.

Saturday Art School

Saturday Art School is a free course open to all secondary school students across the Island.

The school is run in 6 week blocks across the year on a Saturday with a programme designed collaboratively by different artists bringing their diverse skills together to deliver a dynamic programme for the students. The course is experimental and aims to teach new skills and develop independent learners. It is also an opportunity for young people from different schools and backgrounds to come together, make new friends and form a community. The course champions community, reduces isolation and develops creative education opportunities. Saturday Art School is made possible with the kind support of Jersey College for Girls where Saturday School takes place.
