August Residency 2013

Sofie Grevelius, Daniel Shanken, Fiona Shaw

August 2013

Throughout August 2013

For Tenderpixel’s 2013 summer break, we turned over our gallery space to three London-based recent graduates. While they undertook this residency, they produced new work in preparation for their upcoming show, and took advantage of the opportunity to test out ideas in response to a new environment.

During the residency at Tenderpixel, Sofie Grevelius worked with video and drawing, investigating the relationship between the body and the object. Interested in how we interact and relate to urban environment, she explored a series of urban moments through video, using herself and objects to draw an image in motion of the urban landscape.

Daniel Shanken prepared props and filmed parts of a video for his ongoing projects.

Fiona Shaw was preparing for her upcoming exhibitions in the autumn of 2013. With her contribution to the exhibition Past performance is the best indicator of future results (18 October to 16 November 2013) at Tenderpixel, she imagined a distant future when people must still address the material consequences of twentieth-century events. As addressed in previous works, such as The Irony of Seeking Refuge In A Fictive History, a culture of fear is a necessary and inevitable response to a deeply dangerous world.
