PRESS RELEASE:
The Director’s of DegreeArt.com are proud to announce the debut London solo show of photographer and Central Saint Martin’s graduate William Nixon – ‘Lost Britain’.

Lost Britain sets out to recreate the essence of a past experience; the nostalgia of a once British ideal. The work challenges the way we choose to remember places and events, and the relationship between idealism and an aesthetic vision.

The Magpie rhyme up to number 13 is depicated in dream like images in Kanes work. 

She deals with the mythology and symbolisim and how we react with the superstition of this bird, with a series of etchings and numerous paintings.

In his first major solo show Joe Upton presents an eclectic range of works using 3D Film and Mixed-Media.  In this week long exhibition Upton invites an audience to engage in ‘pseudo-activities’ which break the conventional role of audience participation and questions the social impact of media and popular culture.

Inspired by the avant-garde movement of Situationism, Upton transposes the theory of The Society of the Spectacle to the modern day. He questions our role as producers and consumers of culture and explores themes of novelty value and commodity fetishism.

 

REALTIONS  is a live participatory  event happening  simultaneously between London and Bilbao, Spain. The REALTIONAL project explores relationships in real space and real time, shifting the roles of audience, artwork and artist; turning audience into the artwork, and therefore, into the artist.

FOUND FOOTAGE is an installation exploring interactive narrative, composed by a B/W 16mm hand processed film metaphor and all the interpretations of generated by the subjectivity of the audience.

 

TWISTER invites the public to become living sculptures creating ephemeral instants and moments. By playing TWISTER and connecting the different spaces sited in London and Bilbao, through the internet, using web-cams and projectors, TWISTER connects and physically entangles all the participants, creating a human-web, in the real, as well as the digital space.

Raymond Gun is a new organisation set up to promote emerging artists, whilst exploring new ways of showcasing art beyond the traditional gallery format.

PLATFORM is an open submission competition aimed at early career artists. One of our key aims is to promote artists regardless of their backgrounds; this event is intended for any artist trying to become established (not just recent graduates and students). Selected artists will participate in an exhibition at DegreeArt.com on Vyner St - one of the world's major contemporary art centres - in September:

Private View: 24^th September, 6-9pm

The organisation's name derives from "Ray Gun"- the pseudonym used by the artist Claes Oldenburg when he turned his studio into a shop for a series of exhibitions in the early 1960s. For more information about Raymond Gun, and our past and future events, please see our website:

 The four artists methods and practise, though vastly different in their execution share a commonality, to bring contemporary solutions to issues relating to contextual arts such as the artist’s relationship to their medium, the Vanitas inspired representation of life and death and consequence, the functionality of everyday ephemera and the empathic representation of the human state via Portraiture.   As a result of this the exhibition reflects both the originality and personalities of the four artists involved. 

     

Joschi Herczeg, Jonathan Brantschen & Joc Marchington’ conceptually-driven output covers a wide variety of forms including photography, sculpture, video and installation art and often involves the themes of reality, illusion, transformation and space. 

The communication and relationship between the group shapes their work, it is typically through discussion and experimentation that work is made. The group’s approach to work is usually of a playful manner and unravels through a sequence of events; the finished piece is a subtle documentation of this process and performance.

This exhibition presents their latest explorations into memories and perceptions of reality.
