ArtHouse Jersey Spring/ Summer 2024

Bouônjourand welcome to ArtHouse Jersey’s Spring/Summer 2024 programme! Now in its third year, we are delighted to continue our exhibitions at Capital House beginning with The Land and Us / La Tèrre et Nous. This family-friendly exhibition features extraordinary new artworks made collaboratively with a diverse cross-section of the Island population, all exploring our relationship to our local ecosystems and histories.

In May we see Layla Arthur, a young artist whose professional journey began attending ArtHouse Jersey’s Paper Dialogues exhibition in 2016, and who has since gone on to build an impressive body of work consisting of exquisite paper cut sculptures that she is here showing in Jersey for the first time. This exhibition includes her large scale piece, Jersey: My Childhood Home. Each is a beautiful miniature world! Our connection to landscape, its secrets and histories continues to be an inspiration across our French Season 2024, which includes the exhibition What Shadow? (Ce Qui Dit la Bouche d’Ombre), a film screening and performances featuring new work from artists across the Channel Islands and France.

For ArtHouse Jersey, participation and education are integral to our vision in providing opportunities for the entire Island population to experience extraordinary and life-affirming art, whether this is local artists exhibiting their work through our Pop-Up programme, or artists working with local schools to create inspirational workshops (see our pages on MAPS, Saturday Art School and the You, Me and the Sea summer programme).

Keep an eye on arthousejersey.je for updates and news on the upcoming programme. While you’re there why not sign up to our newsletter and be among the first to learn about our exhibition openings, performances and events!

The Land and Us

La Tèrre et Nous

The Land and Us | La Tèrre et Nous is an exhibition of newly commissioned artworks exploring our relationship to the land. Jersey and UK artists are responding to a call for us all to reconnect, prioritise and protect the Island’s precious natural ecosystem.

In this family friendly exhibition you will be guided through artworks exploring Jersey’s past, present and future habitation of the local land, through textiles, poetry, sculpture, installation and photography. Travelling from our ancient neolithic past, when the land was a sacred site of ritual, through our farming traditions, oral histories and earthly language of Jèrriais, to our woodlands, indigenous species and pathways that encircle the Island, The Land and Us is a place to gather and reflect on the natural world.

Developed by ArtHouse Jersey in collaboration with local artist Alexander Mourant, alongside partner artists, Hannah Fletcher, Remi Graves, Alice Burnhope and Sam Carvosso. This exhibition is a culmination of a yearlong learning programme that took place at ArtHouse Jersey and community centres across the Island, working with a diverse cross section of the Island’s population.

During the exhibition we will be offering story walks with primary schools and families over the Easter period, as well as visits to local care homes. We will also be running forest therapy sessions in nature. All sessions are aimed at reconnecting us to the land. Local participating groups included writers, poets and artists, land and sea foraging groups such as Ocean Harvest, Youthful Minds, L’Office du Jèrriais, Cheval Roc Care Home, Dementia Jersey, Caesarea Quilters, Hautlieu secondary school. Highlands Art school, D’Auvergne Primary school and more!

Our 2024 Pop Up Exhibition programme continues with a new series of our popular weekend exhibition format at Greve de Lecq Barracks that provides local artists a space to showcase their work both individually and collaboratively with other artists. Artworks are often for sale and each exhibition provides a great opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about their craft.

Kelly Eastwood is a freelance artist and illustrator who tutors creative sessions for a diverse range of people within our community. She describes her style as contemporary surrealism and enjoys merging the real, with the obscure. Kirstie Fulton is a collage artist with an MA in Graphic Design and a BA in Textile Design. She is passionate about the environment and her work for this Pop Up will feature illustrations of animals. Sam Greenwood uses a mindful process to create pieces with no intentions. He weaves layers to create striking pieces which are open to any interpretation. For this exhibition he plans to explore the theme of space.

A Paper Artist in Progress: Layla Arthur

Layla May Arthur is a paper artist from Jersey who crafts paper entirely by hand. Relying on technique and attention to detail, Layla cuts elaborate patterns and entices sculptural forms from the paper. She aspires to leave her audience both fascinated with the craftsmanship of the paper piece and the story behind it.

Layla’s practice explores how paper changes appearance under the influence of light. Playing with which parts of the paper to cut away and which parts to leave, her work projects theatrical shadows onto the audience and its surrounding. The light and shadows sculpt the space allowing the audience to experience the paper, placing them and their interpretations literally within the work.

THURSDAY 23 MAY - SUNDAY 30 JUNE

ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House

Gallery opening hours:

Tues - Sun 10.30am to 6pm

A Paper Artist in Progress, combines three series of work; Jersey; My Childhood Home (2019), the Storyteller, the Listener and our Story (2021) and Unfolded (2023-2024). All of the works are inspired by stories and in each the paper is manipulated differently, as Layla continues to develop new techniques. A newly commissioned sound composition has been created by Jersey composer Christina Orchard as part of the exhibition.

Layla’s paper works have been exhibited internationally including museums in Switzerland, Italy, Denmark and several in America and the Netherlands. In 2023, She received the prestigious Dutch Mondriaan Fund for young artists.

SHHE & Konx-om-Pax

A welcome return of Scotland’s Cryptic as part of an ongoing exchange with ArtHouse Jersey connecting new Scottish audio-visual artists and supporting artist opportunities for Jersey artists in Scotland. SHHE and Konx-om-Pax will be in residence at ArtHouse Jersey in June and at the end of the residency will present a short workin-progress performance of their upcoming works prior to their premieres at Glasgow’s Sonica festival.

SHHE is the alias of the Dundee-based Scottish-Portugese artist, musician and producer Su Shaw. Her artistic practice is influenced by environment and ecology, exploring themes of identity and connection at the intersections of sound, space and liminal states. The Moving Tides is an evocative new project utilising voice and modular synthesiser to craft an immersive, multi-speaker sound experience which navigates the complexities of our relationship to the sea.

Kong-om-Pax (aka Tom Scholefield) is a Scottish electronic musician and graphic artist from Glasgow who has worked with the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Lone, Mogwai, Jamie Lidell and Martyn. For Cryptic he is developing a series of generative, realtime art installations through deep listening which he will be working on in Jersey.

The event will be followed by a discussion with the artists.

Annie Martland, Jane Reed, Shelley Godden, Sue Harris and Susan Ann McGarry

This exhibition is a collaboration by artists who took part in a painting course led by Jacque Rutter last year and will feature an eclectic mix of ideas.

Annie Martland specialises in faux finishes (marbelizing, graining, faux stone) and also paints murals. She will be presenting abstract work for this exhibition. Jane Reed is an enthusiastic and lifelong amateur artist, producing drawings and ceramics, but in the last five years she has increasingly turned to painted and mixed media work. Shelley Godden is the owner of Land and Moon Ceramics and works as a potter. She creates simple, functional tableware but has recently been creating abstract paintings and will be bringing together some of this abstract mark making with her clay sculpture. Sue Harris had a twenty-five-year career in interior design with colour and form becoming a big part of her life. She has painted as a hobby for many years, trying various mediums and she enjoys landscape painting most of all. Susan Ann McGarry was in her sixties when she discovered painting. Self-expression drives her process using a variety of tools including wood panels, acrylic paint, inks, charcoal and pastels.

Camille Lacroix

This double-bill of performances by Paris-based sound artist and composer Camille Lacroix is inspired from research around a text by Marcel Duchamp, which explores the idea of recycling body movements through forms of sonic energy. Captivating, energetic, theatrical, part body-machine, part human gallery of ‘ready-mades’, Générateur de Tensions and Ventilator present a fascinating dialogue between body and live composition.

Jérôme Bel

Jérôme Bel

ArtHouse Jersey is delighted to present the English language premiere of a new work by the seminal French choreographer Jérôme Bel, whose playful, visceral and conceptual dance works, since the 1990s have shaped and had one of the most significant influences on contemporary dance in Europe over the past thirty years.

Jérôme Bel’s recent work has focused on ‘portraits’ of dancers, working across classical ballet, modern dance and ancient dance forms. Here, following “Isadora Duncan” which was a “danced portrait of a choreographer”, and one of the founding figures of modern dance, Jérôme Bel lends himself to his own exercise and delivers his personal account of a life in dance. Sharing his doubts, commitments, failures as well as his infatuations with wit and insight, the piece, which Bel describes as “autobio-choreo-graphic” articulates fragments of a life, a career and an intellectual project to reveal their common structures.

Burn to Shine

This work, first performed in 2021, and presented for two nights in the intimate studio of Greve de Lecq Barracks is performed by and in collaboration with Terry O’Connor originally from Jersey, and cofounder of one of the world’s most celebrated experimental contemporary theatre groups, Forced Entertainment.

Produced by ArtHouse Jersey.

Following last year’s performances of the acclaimed solo performance “Autoportrait à ma Grand-Mère (Self-Portrait to My Grandmother) which recounted a deeply moving journey through Breton history and politics through a woman’s relationship to her Breton-speaking grandmother, ArtHouse Jersey is delighted to present an extraordinary new film work by artist Patricia Allio. This “docu-fiction” is a meditation through history, queerness and Breton language and culture located around the mystical and religious history of the village of Saint-Jean-du-Doigt in Finisterre and its surrounding landscapes.

Yves crosses the centuries and returns to the small village of Saint-Jean-du Doigt. During his wanderings, he meets a shaman in touch with the spirits, a painter in search of the light, a storyteller who initiates him into the secrets of traditional Breton songs, and a mystic who tells him about the forgiveness of Saint John. Queen Anne of Brittany and her knight join him in his quest and reveal to him the mysteries of his origin.

Through these encounters, including that with the painter Ricardo Cavallo, drawing on dance, music and performance, the film brings to burning life a very human meditation through time, language, memory and ritual.

Followed by a post-screening discussion with Patrica Allio.

Butterfield Public Art Series: Kaarina Kaikkonen

This spring and summer, ArtHouse Jersey is working with sculptural artist Kaarina Kaikkonen for a newly commissioned outdoor installation work to be revealed to the public in August 2024.

Kaarina is one of Finland’s leading contemporary artists who has created both indoor and outdoor sculptures in Finland and internationally. Her most signature material is that of the everyday shirt, collected and suspended across buildings, streets, in nature and galleries, to create large scale sculptures which speak to a sense of a collective ‘body’ as well as a feeling of time suspended, allowing for a poetic reflection on memory, loss and our shared experience as humans moving through diverse and changing environments.

This spring ArtHouse Jersey will be announcing a call-out for shirts from across the Island community to create the new work for St Helier. Check our website for more details and how you can get involved!

Inside Out 16

Gallery opening hours: Tues - Sun 10.30am to 6pm

Tickets/Booking: Free entry, no booking necessary.

The States of Jersey Prison Service is proud to present Inside Out 16, a unique exhibition featuring a collection of art created by Prisoners from HM La Moye Prison.

There is a wide evidence base to support the importance of arts in prisons in helping prisoners improve their resilience, develop skills, confidence, expression and wellbeing. This has proven to have a therapeutic effect and assists with greater emotional self-regulation.

The prisoners at La Moye are producing between 100 to 150 items. Each piece tells a story, offering glimpses into personal journeys, emotions, and reflections of the artists. The work ranges from paintings, to drawings, poetry, ceramics, and woodwork. Inside Out is a rare opportunity to witness the creativity that can arise from adversity and the transformative power of art within prisons.

This exhibition aims to spark meaningful conversations, challenge perceptions, and promote understanding and empathy within our community. Inside Out invites you to consider themes of rehabilitation, and the potential for personal growth. Considering the power of art as a transformative tool for healing and self-expression, ultimately empowering individuals to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to society.

Elizabeth Marina Murals

In this exhibition project developed from a residency in 2023 with ArtHouse Jersey, queer artists Karl Murphy, Lewis G Burton, Yasmine Akim, Dr. Adam Perchard, and Jack Killick draw inspiration from the work and lives of surrealist pioneers Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore who moved to Jersey in 1937 at a time of transformative global upheaval. For Cahun and Moore, the Island provided a space to create an extraordinary body of work reflecting holistically on the self, earth and body.

I Extend My Arms is a space where poetic reflection and connection to the ancient heartbeat of Jersey serve to rekindle Cahun and Moore’s legacy amidst the challenges of current times, where many see fractured selves mirroring a world succumbing to the unrelenting force of capital. For this contemporary group of queer artists, Jersey embodies both refuge and rebellion, offering a unique backdrop to probe the essence of selfhood in an era marked by disruption. Working with sound, video, sculptural installation, drawings and performance, this short run exhibition promises to create a beguiling world drawn from the queer body in visceral landscapes.

In Spring 2024 ArtHouse Jersey will launch Elizabeth Marina Murals which will see the design and production of a number of unique murals along the arches of the marina walls set against the stunning backdrop of the iconic Elizabeth Castle. Six artists will be commissioned to design the artwork creating a bright display of thoughtprovoking public art for Islanders to enjoy for years to come.

Stan’s Cafe: Of All the People in All the World

WEDNESDAY 18 SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 6 OCTOBER

ArtHouse Jersey, Capital House.

One ton of rice. One grain equals one person. A beautifully simple equation for a beautifully simple performance installation by Stan’s Cafe.

Over the course of 17 days, abstract human population statistics are turned into emotionally gripping stories using grains of rice. One grain of rice represents one person… and from there begins a witty, provocative and unexpectedly moving work of art that helps you see the world in a startling new way.

Stan’s Cafe, formed in 1991 is a theatre company based in Birmingham who make installation and performance projects across diverse media which have toured extensively across the world. Of All the People in All the World is their longest running artwork (first staged in 2003) and that finally arrives to Jersey.

The Lullaby Project

Over the past year and a half, artists Esther Rose Parkes and Susanne Kudielka have been creating a lullaby portrait of Jersey by collecting, sharing, writing and performing lullabies from different cultures and demographics on the Island. This is a three-year community-based project that involves those who wish to share their lullabies, alongside musicians, visual artists, community practitioners and community organisations. So far, the collection includes lullabies in Jerriais, German, French, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Zulu, Sotho and English

Lullabies have been part of our sleep rituals since ancient times. They often stay with us all our lives and are passed on orally through the generations. Lullabies are woven into the fabric of family life across different cultures.

The next part of the Lullaby Project involves creating choral arrangements from the collected lullabies. Esther and Susanne are forming a Lullaby Choir who will rehearse for 10 weeks in the autumn, culminating in four performances in December.

The Lullaby Choir will be a non-audition choir, and anyone interested in taking part is very welcome. Children are welcome to attend with their parents

Education

and activities will be made available for them during rehearsals.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about joining the Lullaby Choir this autumn by writing to: thelullabyprojectjersey@ gmail.com or through ArtHouse Jersey.

Co-commissioned by Art House Jersey and supported by the Connect Me: Connecting Communities grant.

The ArtHouse Jersey education programme works collaboratively with teachers and young people across the Island. We support trained, professional artists to create art experiences that enrich the curriculum as well as providing opportunities to access art outside of school. Nurturing the development of young people from primary school level has a long term impact on the value and importance we place on art in society and on developing a happy, healthy and culturally engaged island community.

Saturday Art School is a free extra-curricular course available to secondary school students across the Island, kindly sponsored by Standard Chartered and delivered in partnership with ArtHouse Jersey, CYPES (Children, Young People, Education and Skills) and local artists. The workshops run during the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms and are designed collaboratively by Artist Educators incorporating diverse skills into a dynamic program for young people. The course is experimental, uses mixed media and develops independent learners who take the tools they are given on their own creative journey.
