No Place Like Home
Wednesday 6 September to Sunday 15 October 2023
At ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House + unexpected locations around the Island
Capital House, 8 Church St., St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, UK.
Tuesday to Sunday 10:30am - 6pm. Closed Mondays

Included in the Jersey Evening Post and Forbes
Head over to the Curatorial Projects place here!
ArtHouse Jersey presents No Place Like Home, an ambitious multi-disciplinary exhibition that reaches beyond the gallery to locations around Jersey. For this exhibition twenty-three artists build a rich narrative that delves into personal stories, global issues, childhood memories, and speculative worlds as well as the bleak realities of the current housing market to look at a broader concept of home and what it might mean today.
Curated by Rosalind Davis and Laura Hudson. Home may be a sanctuary or a place of danger, it might be stable or temporary, intimate or shared, rooted for generations or a refuge in times of need. Home might be a person, place or planet, a community to which we belong or contested land no longer available to us. We may all yearn for a Home, but homes are full of histories, meanings and tensions; charged with political, social and economic realities they are subject to both external forces and internal dramas. ‘Home’ means something important and different to each one of us.
For this exhibition ArtHouse Jersey has commissioned new work by Ana Čvorović (Bosnia/UK), Sasha Bowles (UK), Justin Hibbs (UK), Will Romeril (Jersey), Lindsay Rutter (Jersey) and Lisa Traxler (Isle of Wight/UK).
Alongside the commissions the curators have selected existing work by artists who resonate with the broad ranging themes of No Place Like Home including: Jananne al-Ani (Iraq/UK), Rachel Ara (Jersey), Jackie Berridge (UK), George Bolster (Ire/USA), Peter Jones (UK), Daria Koltsova (Ukraine/UK), Peter Liversidge (UK), Harriet Mena Hill (UK), Kate Murdoch (UK), Ravelle Pillay (South Africa), Saba Qizilbash (Pakistan/UAE), Martha Rostler (USA), Judith Tucker (UK), Joanna Whittle (UK), Eddie Wong (Malaysia/NZ) and Andrea V Wright (UK).

The exhibition title speaks of outsiders, those who have journeyed from far or near to come into a space that isn’t their own. It is unclear whether these visitors are welcome or something far more unsettling. The title conjures film and TV associations that include horrific, extra-terrestrial, even paranormal visitations. Equally it shares its name with the last album by a certain palindromic Swedish pop group – until that is, 2021 brought the unexpected return of ABBA. Visitors bring joy and energy to our homes and dining tables. Some visitors know when to leave, and some habitually overstay. Visits from an interfering relative, a pair of cultish religious doorknockers or a mob of officers of the law are to be endured & hastily curtailed, while the visit of a migrating kettle of swallows or drift of swifts carry only delight that one hopes becomes frequent. The artists in this exhibition at the newly re-opened Morley Gallery are visitors on the Morley Fine Art Mentoring Course.
It is unimportant which artist visits carried which of the above associations for which mentees. The value of a healthy visitors’ book is that conversations are unexpected, idiosyncratic & (ideally) challenging. Mentoring is not a one-way imposition of knowledge and experience. Mentoring is a live and active two-way discussion about how artists (mentees and mentors) think, make and evaluate art works. This exhibition further extends the role and engagement of the mentors to include a third party. Gallery visitors are welcomed in to engage with, consider and critically evaluate the paintings, sculpture, video, drawings, installations that represent the polyglot voices and disparate studio practices of the artist-mentors. You are invited to visit the gallery to experience the dialogues, exchanges and spin-offs that occur when these nine artists’ works are gathered together.

Rosalind Davis & Justin Hibbs Collaborate with Jamal Sterrett | ITV Creates
Rosalind, Justin and Jamal’s ident for ITV Creates brings together two distinctly modern forms of Art for the very first time; Jamal’s otherworldly expression of the little-documented contemporary dance form ‘Bruk-up’ with Rosalind and Justin’s immersive sculptural Installations that confound perceptions of space.
This is a highly innovative collaboration with ground-breaking potential, pushing both artistic practices into new territories. It is a pioneering first, both in terms of a meeting between these specific art forms but also representing the premier exposure of this dance form on a mainstream cultural platform to a mass audience.
The creative collision of Contemporary Visual Art and Bruk-up Dance not only merges two complimentary artistic forms but also importantly extends the rich shared cultural heritage of British and Jamaican culture.

Closure of the Collyer Bristow Gallery:
Collyer Bristow remains a passionate supporter of the arts and, over the past 30 years, the firm has become well-known for the distinctive contemporary art exhibited within its offices.
The pandemic has sadly put an indefinite hiatus on our gallery programme and, since the firm has moved to an interim office (ahead of relocating to a long-term home), we will now look to support the arts in new ways until our gallery can be reimagined in a future location. As a result of these circumstances Rosalind Davis will be leaving her role as curator of the Collyer Bristow gallery.
We thank Rosalind for her four years of dedicated curation, transforming the gallery space time-after-time with thought-provoking and imaginative works from emerging artists. She is a truly talented curator and artist who, through her ambitious and creative exhibitions and commitment to championing the gallery and its artists, has created a lasting legacy at Collyer Bristow. We hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future and we wish her well in her next exciting ventures. We are having an ongoing conversation with Rosalind about possible future projects with Collyer Bristow.

Winter Salon at Laurent Delaye Gallery
Winter Salon is a new yearly event at the Laurent Delaye Gallery in Ramsgate.

4-29 November 2020
This year it will take place at the Vinyl Head Gallery in Addington Street, from 4 to 29 November 2020.
There was a time when public Art exhibitions came to change the course of history, and the 19C had plenty of them. As Victorian Ramsgate was basking in the glory of prestige and elegance, monocles in London were dropping at the daringness of the new moderns, while in France the art of the next century was made amid riots and editorial calls for arson. In this spirit, and in view of the present circumstances, we think it really is time for the opening of a Winter Salon in Ramsgate. Starting small, and in one venue, we anticipate that by the next years to come, the whole town will be the stage of an art revolution spreading like fire.
For its first edition the gallery will bring together twelve artists. Coming from all different horizons and practice, working with multiple media, and often with an already established international career, they encompass diverse schools of thoughts and traditions within the realm of contemporary art. In the narrow but open space of the Vinyl Head Gallery the curators are aiming for chaos and order, opposites, clashes, anarchy, where each work interplays with others and defines its own boundaries. The show reflects the longstanding interest of the gallery for constructivism, Op Art, minimalism, feminism, surrealism, Dada, political satire, and concrete poetry. It includes sculpture, painting, photography, prints, collage, calligraphy, ceramics, tapestry, and posters.
