St-UDIO: the unlicked department of investigative operations.
For 'Unlicked', Anne Stansfield has roamed gP Studios and reflected on the uses of the studio and how inspiration is to be found there.
Stansfield is a conceptual artist with a broad practice that makes use of a wide range of materials and methods. She prizes the qualities of simplicity, chance and humour and collaborates with the site in which she is working. She instinctively works across mediums to mirror how people consume culture today; she says, ‘It would be odd for someone to try and make sense of the world by just looking at paintings, so it seems logical to me to experiment with disciplines that communicate the idea most favourably.’ Consequently, she uses trial and error process in her making to collaborate with materials, entice innovation and to allow a space for not-knowing. When making films and animations, their conclusions are intentionally left open-ended - to encourage the viewer to be an ally in the work.
Opening night: Friday 1st November 6-8pm, refreshments served and all welcome.
The exhibition will also be open from 2nd - 4th November from 11am until 5pm.
