Arts Space artists were invited to produce work which developed or extended their own practice into print media. The exhibition brief, to include a range of approaches to print led the selection process. The artists selected were then encouraged to create new work that considered the space allocated to them, within the framework of the show. inc print takes the visitor on a journey, making connections between the real world and that of the gallery. Asking the viewer to re-evaluate the role of printmaking in the everyday. This work forms part of Portsmouth City Council's art collection and can be found in the Guildhall, Portsmouth. AWARDS for ALL - National Lottery gave their support to this project. The grant enabled Art Space to purchase a small quantity of archival presentation boxes in which to house the inc print work.

EXTENDING THE LINE - November 1997 Aspex gallery Drawings by members of Art Space. What is a Drawing? Is it the basis tool of observation that enables the artist to learn about the subject, experiment with different effects, lay the foundations of picture, sculpture or other work of art? Is it a mythical action that links the first human marks to drawings of Rembrandt or a Hockney? Or is drawing an overrated medium that has become outdated because artists want to go beyond the use of traditional medium and which has been superseded by new technology? Why is it still taught rigorously in some art departments and wholly rejected by others? These and many other issues will be highlighted in this exhibition which will demonstrate the range of drawing practised by the artists of Portsmouth. A vast range of techniques and styles were on show as well as drawings which go well beyond the traditional methods of Paul Klee's famous words, 'taking a line for a walk'. Meet the artists talks were held over the exhibition period. |

| DON'T STAND ON TRIFLES as part of AS I SEE IT - January 1995 Aspex Gallery An exhibition of texts - that have influenced visual artists. The exhibition challenged the popular notion that visual artists accumulated their ideas from a source not known to the rest of us. Artists read widely and think deeply and yet because, on the one hand, they develop a personal visual vocabulary and, on the other, involve themselves in personal research and sometimes in radically new ideas [and old ones], they are deemed unfit to be taken seriously. The exhibition addresses this concept - through out eyes. |
