Landscapes of Exploration foregrounds the role of contemporary art in examining Antarctica. What perspectives can art offer on this terra incognita, a forbidding environment where the temperature rarely rises above freezing, yet one which for scientists offers a wealth of geological and glacial data including indicators of climate change.

Ten visual artists, one musician and three writers undertook residencies in the Antarctic between 2001 and 2009, under the auspices of the British Antarctic Survey, supported by Arts Council England. This exhibition will bring together for the first time art resulting from the various artistic investigations, offering an opportunity to reflect upon the very different subject matter, media and responses evident in the range of work produced.
An accompanying series of lectures are being run to expand on the artists interpretation of the Scott 100 events.

Bee box was commissoned by C-Lab, and is also currently showing in Spittalfields, London. It follows on from Ben Dromey, Mina Arko, Jari Suominen’s artwork, CITYBEAT, Finland’s presentation for EU funded European Public Art Centre which is now about to be shown in Riga, Latvia.

Bee Box was chosen to be part of European Public Art Centre’s Public technologies exhibition. Public technologies is the first exhibition ever organized in Europe that spreads to four European cities at the same time.

The European Public Art Centre is a network of international organizations that promote and foster interdisciplinary contemporary culture and particularly collaboration between art and science. .

Synthesis: synthetic biology in art & society is an intensive exchange laboratory for artists, scientists and other disciplines to collaboratively explore synthetic biology’s ideas and techniques, and its social and cultural implications.

Synthesis is organised by The Arts Catalyst with UCL, Synthetic Aesthetics, and Symbiotica

I was one of 4 shortlisted artists selected from an international call out for artist in residence on board The Swan, a traditional Shetland fishing boat built in 1904.

Congratulations to Imi Maufe for being the chosen artist. The Swan will participate in the 2011 tall ships rave from Waterford, Ireland to Helsingborg, Sweden.
