Exactly one year on from our re-launch Wysing Arts Centre is launching a brand new initiative called Wysing Arts Contemporary. With three exhibitions per year and a series of events around collecting contemporary art, Wysing Arts Contemporary will provide a major new platform for artists working at the forefront of contemporary art practice. Wysing Arts Contemporary’s inaugural exhibition is entitled ANIMATED, presenting playful and witty works by Jo Addison, Julie Brenot, Matt Cook, Sarah Evans, Simon Liddiment, Anne-Mie Melis, Alex Pearl and Simon Woolham; that explore notions of energy, movement and imagination in a wide range of media from moving image and installation to drawing and sculpture. The exhibition will include a series of works by Alex Pearl, one of the East’s most exciting emerging artists. Based near Ipswich, Pearl’s work explores the acceptance of failure or disappointment as important parts of the human condition. He will present a mix of mini epic films, installations and sculpture that make light of big issues and are in turn both haunting and funny. Julie Brenot, a French artist based at Wysing, explores the territory between fiction and reality. Her work will include a series of paintings and installations using already existing pictures, novels, vinyl records and posters, to create new narratives that are light-hearted and mischievous.
