SUMMARY:Drawn to London
DESCRIPTION:Drawn to London\nWithin the shadow of the Tower\n  \n16 October – 3 November\nCurated by: Philippa Beale \n  \nArtists: Alexandra Blum\, Philippa Beale\, John Blandy\, Stella Carr\, Paul Cosquieri\, Paul Finn\, Sue Hackney\, Susannah Hubert\, Martin Harrison-Priestman\, Maryellen Lamb\, Mark Long\, Natasha Lien\, Fiona McIntyre\, Seema Manchanda\, Emma Perring\, Pat Phippard PRofit\, Karen Summers\, Jacqueline Wedlake-Hatton\, Marion Wilcocks\, Alice White\, Les Williams\, Sandra Wroe \n  \n  \n“Sir\, when a man is tired of London\, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” \nSamuel Johnson\, ‘The Life of Samuel Johnson Vol 3’\, James Boswell\, 1851 \n  \nThe exhibition brings together a variety of artists who have responded to the life and history of London. They follow in a tradition that reaches back to Hogarth’s etchings of Gin Lane and Monet’s impressionist visions of the Thames to Rachel Whiteread’s ghostly House in east London and Gilbert and George’s lurid evocations of Brick Lane. London has long been a conspicuously successful multi-cultural metropolis where people from different cultures have combined to create a dynamic and positive place to live\, work and create art. \nThe show will reflect and celebrate this energy\, but will also probe the implications of the city cutting itself off from the wider world in the aftermath of Brexit. \nThe exhibition will include members from The Society of Graphic Fine Art\, The Lloyds Art Group\, Gibraltar Fine Arts Society and invited artists whose work reflects different aspects of life in London. \nThe exhibition includes around 80 or more works of art including paintings\, prints\, drawings\, photographs\, film\, sound and installation. The themes found in the works range from the women held as prisoners in Bermondsey Abbey to the minutiae of flora and fauna found within the cracks of the city itself. While some artists have collaborated with communities in London\, celebrating the practice of drawing; others have engaged with the buildings and building sites\, aiming to capture the essence of the city. The iconic Trafalgar Square will be newly observed\, while the quotidian more mundane moments that make up parts of the everyday lives of Londoners will be under close scrutiny. \nThere is guaranteed something of interest for everybody in this new exhibition and works will be for sale. \n  \n \nAlexandra Blum \n  \n \nPaul Finn \n  \n \nLes Williams \n  \n \n  \nNatasha Lien \n  \n  \nEmma Perring \n  \n \nPat Phippard \n  \n \n  \nAlice White \n  \n \n  \nPhilippa Beale \n  \n \n  \nSandra Wroe \n  \n \n  \nJaqueline Wedlake Hatton \n  \n \n  \nSeema Manchanda \n  \n \n  \nPaul Cosquieri \n  \n \n  \nSusannah Hubert \n  \n \n  \nPhilippa Beale \n  \n \n  \nMaryellen Lamb \n  \n \n  \nKaren Summers \n  \n \n  \nFiona McIntyre \n

SUMMARY:Nick Malone: The Disappearance of Makepeace - A Tale of Two Lives
DESCRIPTION:The Disappearance of Makepeace\nA Tale of Two Lives\nNICK MALONE\n6-10 November 2018\n  \n \n  \n  \nThe exhibition follows on from an earlier solo at BPS\, which acted as a springboard in developing this particular way of working. It interacts with the text of a graphic novel concerning the mysterious disappearance of its eponymous hero James Makepeace that sets the exhibition within a wider context of narrative\, adventure and dream. The exhibition will combine installation\, images\, animation\, and soundscape to enable words and images to interact and operate together in new ways. \n  \n\n A catalogue is available with an essay by Sacha Craddock\n\n  \n\n Accompanying podcasts will be available from www.nickmalone.com\n\n  \n\nPodcasts of the novel that underpins the exhibition are available at: http://nickmalone.libsyn.com

SUMMARY:Christina Reihill: Glad I Did It
DESCRIPTION:Glad I Did It\nChristina Reihill\n14 November – 1 December\n  \n  \nNight club manageress Ruth Ellis (1926 – 1955) poses for one Captain Ritchie\, 1954. The setting is probably the flat above her club on the Brompton Road in Knightsbridge\, London. In 1955\, Ellis was convicted of the murder of her lover\, David Blakely\, and hanged at Holloway Prison\, becoming the last woman to receive the death penalty in Britain. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)\n  \n  \nThis November\, installation artist Christina Reihill will recreate the prison cell of Ruth Ellis\, the last woman in Britain to be executed by the state\, after she shot her abusive lover\, 25-year-old racing driver David Blakely in 1955. Glad I Did It will be an artist’s interpretation of Ruth Ellis’ cell\, imagined moments after her hanging\, informed by a close reading of the psychiatric notes\, prison files and diaries. A video piece on the lower level of the gallery will feature an exclusive interview with the artist presented by Madeleine Keane\, Literary Editor of the Irish Sunday Independent. \n  \nRuth Ellis’ execution on 13th July 1955 was a turning point in the death penalty debate in the UK. Ellis unapologetically declared her intent was to kill her lover\, who she shot five times at point-blank range. In court she infamously stated: \n  \n“It’s very obvious that when I shot David Blakely I intended to kill him” \n  \nMany sympathised with the abuse she suffered at the hands of Blakely\, who famously caused her to miscarry following an alcohol-fuelled row about another woman. \n  \nGlad I Did It asks visitors to step into Ellis’ mind at this crucial moment in history and to consider how easily they could have been in her shoes. The installation examines the thwarted desires and impulsive behaviours that led to Ellis’ execution\, and explores how we all can be victims to our own addictions. \n  \nRecalling the darkness of her own addiction to drugs and alcohol\, artist Christina Reihill prompts visitors to questions how ambition\, desire\, loss and grief impacts our lives and asks the question ‘how dissimilar are we all from Ruth Ellis really?’ \nThe prison files illustrate Ellis’ relationships with her family\, psychiatrist\, lawyer and even the prison warden\, and reveal the woman behind the media speculation\, who has been on trial by the British public ever since. \n  \nEllis famously declared her reason for wanting to die:  “I want to join him” she repeated despite efforts that could have saved her from the hangman’s noose.  If she had presented herself as a victim this could have spared her execution. But she didn’t. The artist believes Ellis wanted to die and appreciated her time in jail. \n  \nIn her prison cell\, Ellis\, a Jewish nightclub hostess dismissed as a “tart”\, could\, for the first time in her life\, experience the respect and dignity she needed.  Here she was addressed as “Mrs. Ellis” and listened to\, and the relationship plagued by violence and alcoholism that her lover had tried to hide\, was front page news. \n  \nThe artist Christina Reihill claims that in all that has been written\, staged\, documented and filmed\, Glad I Did It reveals facts about Ruth Ellis\, never identified before. \n  \n  \n  \nAbout the trial of Ruth Ellis \nEllis\, a 29- year old Jewish girl from North Wales was working as a nightclub hostess in Knightsbridge when she met wealthy racing car driver David Blakely. Their affair was passionate but violent\, marked by alcoholism\, abortions and infidelity.  On Easter Sunday at 9pm\, April 10th 1955\, Ellis shot Blakely five times at close range\, outside the Magdala Tavern in Hampstead and put the gun to her head for the last bullet\, which failed to discharge. She was hanged for his murder three months later. “It’s obvious I intended to kill him” she famously declared in court. Her trial was highly publicised and caused widespread controversy\, as details of the violence she endured throughout her life emerged. Following pressure from the British media including the Evening Standard and the Daily Mirror\, the case against the death penalty was strengthened\, and in 1965 it was abolished in Great Britain. \n  \nAbout Christina Reihill \n \nBorn and educated in Dublin\, Christina studied psychology at Harvard\, and later went on to read multi-media and communications at the London Institute\, before starting a 12-year career in journalism working for Vogue\, The Evening Standard\, Irish Times and Sunday Independent. \nIn the early 90’s she returned to Ireland for drug and alcohol treatment at The Rutland Centre. For the next decade she trained and practiced as apsychotherapist. During this time she wrote her debut book SoulBurgers\, and later created a performance based on the book\, and has since produced a number of award-winning installations. In 2012 she won the Allianz Tile Style Artist of the Year Award. Christina created an Urban Art work in 2016\, called WallWalks and last year staged Wit’s End\, a major installation at Smock Alley Theatre on Dorothy Parker’s last days before her death\, opened by Patrick Murphy\, Director of the Royal Hibernian Academy.
