Nonsense Exhibition |
|
Picture: Drew Turner
|
Exhibition open: 22.06.13 - 28.07.13
Taking as our starting point the definition of nonsense as an inversion of what is perceived to be ‘normality’/ ‘reality’ (or ‘sense’) through a disruption of logic, this exhibition will examine the beliefs and assumptions which distinguish ‘normality’ and the means and techniques by which artists work to unravel ‘sense’ and accepted modes of normality. We will examine how automatism and stream of consciousness have been applied in the arts and explore how techniques such as photomontage, exquisite corpse, frottage, involuntary sculpture, etc liberate the artist from structured creativity and open the door to contingency, chance, illogic, and nonsense.

The Bath Spa Porthleven Prize is an exciting new opportunity for Bath Spa students to win one of five fully funded art residencies in Porthleven, Cornwall, where they will create artwork for a major touring exhibition. The five Prize winners will take part in a ten-day residency based at the Porthleven Lifeboat Art Studio in May. Whilst there, they will work together to produce a body of collaborative work in any discipline including performance and text, as well as visual art. At the end of the residency the artwork created will be exhibited to the public at the Lifeboat Artist Studio in Porthleven, followed by a touring exhibition at the O3 Gallery in Oxford and at Bath School of Art & Design. The aim of the Prize is to encourage students to work together across subjects to create a fusion of creative thinking in the heart of the Porthleven community. It is funded by the Trevor Osborne Charitable Trust in association with Bath Spa University.
