Simon Martin
No full textThis is Simon Martin's largest public exhibition in the UK to date, bringing together three years of work created in video, digital animation, and as installation. Martin's work is an extended enquiry into our relationship to objects, and the material world around us. He queries how and why we attribute different values and significance to inanimate, man-made objects. His work also probes how objects exert powers over us: echoing the philosopher Bruno Latour's recent arguments, Martin ponders what agency they possess in the world, and what mythologies we weave around them. His work asks such questions in a highly distinctive, softly spoken, and subtle manner. The New York Times has described Martin's works as "masterpiece[s] of poetic discretion".
The exhibition brings together four short films by Martin that exemplify two contrasting tendencies in his recent work. Carlton and Louis Ghost Chair dwell on what narrative film can achieve. The two works take the form of a monologue, accompanied by luxuriantly photographed details of the two objects in the titles, to prize open new meanings from historical objects. Both examine objects from the history of design, whose status is ambiguous, and problematic.
Two other works meanwhile, both untitled, adapt the logic of Structuralist film-making of the 1960s and 1970s, whilst subtly transforming it for an age dominated by digital rather than analogue photographic images
Simon Martin
No full textFor his first solo commission in a British public space Simon Martin presents Untitled (2008), a new single-screen video installation conceived specially for this exhibition at Chisenhale.
Martin’s practice examines the cultural significance of art and artifacts and our relationship to them, and encompasses painting, sculpture and moving image. In recent years he has focused almost exclusively on film. Untitled marks a departure into the realm of high definition, CAD (computer assisted design) animation.
In 1998 Martin made a photorealist painting of a strawberry poison dart frog based on a found photograph. Untitled returns to that same source image though here it is rendered in a fully three-dimensional state. The animation of the frog could be seen as a collection of establishing shots, carefully observing the creature and exploring the virtual space of the synthetic image. Moving between stillness and motion, Martin’s digital rendering of the photographic image creates an uncanny effect and a self-reflexive comment on the construction of images
UR Feeling
No full textFor UR Feeling, Simon Martin brings together a selection of objects and images from artists and designers including Ettore Sottsass, Scott Burton and Stephen Shore. It is an investigation into affect and the state between knowing and sensing, in relationship to materiality and the built environment. Martin’s collection forms an open ended dialogue around the ideas and influences which form the basis of his artistic research.
Martin’s work reflects upon material culture; he is interested in how we understand ourselves through social structures, mythologies and collective memory evidenced in art objects, mass media, popular culture and the built environment. The exhibition will be punctuated by discussions, performances and film screenings involving writers and artists.
UR Feeling also acts as research for a new film which Martin is developing
Simon Martin, Augustas Serapinas, Bridget Smith Group Exhibition Stanley Picker Gallery 2017
No full textSimon Martin, Augustas Serapinas, Bridget Smith Group Exhibition Stanley Picker Gallery 2017
Exactly twenty years since its inaugural exhibition in February 1997, the Stanley Picker Gallery building reflects back upon itself, through a group show bringing together an architectural intervention by Simon Martin, a site-specific commission by Augustas Serapinas, and a series of photographic studies of the Picker House interiors by Bridget Smith.
Simon Martin is Stanley Picker Fine Art Fellow at Kingston University. Building upon his past work on subjectivity and the built environment, he is undertaking new research around ideas of Objecthood, sound and memory. Whilst the first public manifestation of Martin’s fellowship commission will take place in the coming year, the artist has intervened in the current layout of the venue as an artistic gesture which nods to the Gallery’s past. Through a simple act of reinstating the original entrance, exposing previously hidden windows, and removing all artificial lighting, Martin reconfigures the building and its navigation, returning its essential architectural status, and highlighting its island location along the Hogsmill River, opposite Kingston School of Art.
Augustas Serapinas’ practice is invested in recomposing socially engaged spaces, in order to foreground and problematise the assumptions that shape them. By inverting the customary functions of objects and spatiality, Serapinas toys with the possibilities of the encounter – with art and with the social relations it engenders – as a phenomenon and an opportunity. Serapinas’ new commission at Stanley Picker Gallery is a secret project, entrusted by the artist to the infrastructure of the organisation, including its staff. As the project evolves over the course of the exhibition, its secrecy also transforms oscillating between facts and rumours.
In juxtaposition to the minimal intervention in the main exhibition space, Bridget Smith’s series of six photographs creates a unique portrait of the Picker House’s strikingly designed interiors. Stanley Picker, the arts patron after whom our Gallery is named, lived there until his death in 1982. The domestic setting remains immaculately preserved, very much as it was when Stanley resided there with his life-partner Paul Kavanagh. Smith’s images respond to the theatrical sensibility of the House, moving from the more public spaces filled with daylight and warm orange furnishings to the yellow and green subterranean light of the private rooms. Smith plays off the charged atmosphere of the House, detached from the life of its inhabitants. It is the exuberant artworks that are now the animated presence in the space, pointing to the life force once held within. To commemorate its 20th anniversary, the Gallery has produced a postcard edition of these six images, forming part of a special episodic mail-out designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio, released over the course of this year
