Daryl Waller will be curating with Greencube in forthcoming Transition programme being held at the Newlyn Gallery.

Following the success of the Newlyn Gallery’s annual 'Transition' programme for artists, the 'Curators’ Edition' will provide an opportunity for emerging curators and artist groups to experiment in a gallery setting.

Using artworks in all media, curators will try out potential exhibitions in eight five-day slots.

It is an opportunity to take ideas and push them forward in a public environment, aiming to resolve curatorial, conceptual and practical issues, without the constraints of presenting a finalised exhibition.

The curators are Sovay Berriman, Sara Bowler, Bruce Davies, Greencube, Higher Academy of Happiness, Amanda Lorens, Steven Paige, Delpha Hudson and Andy Whall.

The Greencube section of this project will run from 23rd - 27th Jan.

Daryl Waller is pleased to announce that he is taking part in the Harry Smith Anthology Remixed exhibition at the ALT GALLERY
To view Daryl's piece click here

Opening: 8th May 2007, 6 – 9pm
Exhibition: 9th May – 30th June 2007

The exhibition brings together the work of 84 leading artists and musicians, who have been invited to make a visual artwork in response to 1 track each from the groundbreaking music release the Anthology of American Folk Music. The Anthology was edited by seminal New York artist, musicologist and experimental filmmaker Harry Smith, and first published by Folkways in 1952.

The Anthology is comprised entirely of recordings issued between 1927 (the year electronic recording made accurate reproduction possible) and 1932 when the Depression stifled folk music sales. Harry Smith used the new LP technology to create an unbroken sequence of songs, divided into three colour coded sets, which represented three elements: air, fire and water. The Anthology is considered to be one of the most important collections of information in modern society, creating a folk canon and contributing to numerous folk revival movements.

This exhibition, curated by Rebecca Shatwell, aims to create a new visual collection of the Anthology, to continue the collective history and revival of the work, as seen through the eyes of contemporary visual artists and musicians. The exhibition includes artists from the Europe, Japan and the US reflecting a diverse and exciting range of practice including: visual art, outsider art, comic book, design, craft and illustration.

A specially commissioned essay by David Keenan accompanies the exhibition and can be downloaded here.

Harry Smith Anthology Remixed includes work by: Dave Allen, Jonathan Allen, Diane Barcelowsky, Marcia Bassett, Eric Beltz, Hisham Bharoocha, Jesse Bransford, Vashti Bunyan, Jelle Crama, Jaron Childs, Rob Churm, Marcus Coates, Karen Constance, Christian Cummings & Jed Lackritz, Dearraindrop, Arrington di Dionyso, Graham Dolphin, Bill Drummond, Jorn Ebner, Espers, Peter J Evans, Yamataka Eye, Jad Fair, Feathers Family, Kyle Field, Alec Finlay, Devin Flynn, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Luke Fowler, Chris Graham, Susie Green, Doug Harvey, A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Rama Hoffpauir, Dan Howard-Birt, Zoe Irvine, Rich Jacobs, Juneau Projects, Seth Kelly, Jeffrey Lewis, Linder, Derek Lodge, Lone Twin, Robert AA Lowe, Ant Macari, The Matinee Orchestra, Maya Miller, Gean Moreno, Heather Leigh Murray, Michael Nyman, Dylan Nyoukis, John Olson, John Orth, Paper Rad, Mike Paré, Plastic Crimewave, Dave Portner, Devin Powers, Adam Putnam, The Rebel, Ginnie Reed,Clare E Rojas, Chris Rollen, Arik Roper, Giles Round, Royal Art Lodge, Mathew Sawyer, David Sherry, Ross Sinclair, DJ Spooky, Andre Stitt, Philip Taaffe, Vernon & Burns, Daryl Waller, Flora Whiteley, Michael Wilson, Simon Woolham, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, C.

Swiftie's Ope is now part of the exhibition 'Delicate Situations'.

Delicate Situations is a year-long exhibition from 15th January 2007 to 15th January 2008 bringing together work that will be placed in any space anywhere. The one common factor is that all the works in the exhibition are left in a place (for as long as they last).

Delicate Situations shows the implications of the struggle with circumstance and the contrasting strategies and choices that face us. It does this by creating a condition for the exhibition of the art work by which its fragility or resistance to circumstance is radically exposed. It exposes not only the vulnerability of a finished art object but also the often vulnerable circumstances of the process and production of art work. The nature of the way in which the work in Delicate Situations is shown allows a chance to dwell on the nature of display and varying ways in which an individual artist reacts to showing their work. By providing no specific venue for the work it provides an extreme situation to dwell on the value of publicity and privacy. This leads us to think about the ways in which artists develop strategies for being seen and not seen and, finally, the ways of merging or keeping seperated the making of the work and the making the work public.

All work for the exhibition can be viewed at http://delicatesituations.blogspot.com/
