Head & Whole I – Abbey Walk Gallery, 8th August – 3rd September, 20II – The inaugural Head & Whole exhibition and programme of events. Curated by Linda Ingham, and supported by The Arts Council England, the show will be the first in a series, concentrating on the subject of human form in contemporary visual arts practice. The show will work around two concepts – first, the tradition of artists making studies of fellow artists and the nature of reciprocity; second – ‘No Fixed identity’ – on the slippery stuff of portrayal and self-portrayal as concept and image. Twice and current BP Portrait Award finalist, Wendy Elia exhibits a painting of her dear friend Maxime, a performance artist whose practice explores the nature of identity, and John Devane’s portrait of artist Alison Lambert. Linda’s current work-in-progress, Pore project, will also be on exhibition. There will be a programme of events, including artists talks and workshops, as well as the first ever AWG Summer School week – contact the gallery for details. Exhibiting Artists: Wendy Elia, Corrie Chiswell, Anna Gillespie, John Devane, Margaret Ashman, Maggie Cullen, Linda H O’Grady, John Wild, Bren Head, Linda Ingham, Martin White, Eileen Bunn, Charles McGill and Dovrat Amsily-Basrat.
