Participating artists
Daphne Wright
Born in Ireland, 1963. Lives and works in Bristol. 'Daphne Wright's work plays with the desire we seem to have for an encounter with beauty in art. Much of her work is visually stunning in a relatively conventional sense. Yet what is central to these works is that on both the macro and micro scale - the distanced and the intimate - Wright willfully undermines this promise of pleasure.' Daphne Wright's work was the subject of a solo exhibition at Limerick City Art Gallery earlier this year. Wright has been involved in several important international group exhibitions, notably at PS1, New York; Albright Knox Museum, Buffalo; Crawford Art Gallery, Cork, and at the ICA, Boston.
Jane Prophet
Jane Prophet was born in Birmingham in 1964 but works and lives in London. Her work includes large-scale installations (Conductor, Wapping Art; The Landscape Room, Norwich; Decoy, Blickling Hall), digital prints and objects. Her art reflects her interest in science, technology and landscape. Prophet works across disciplines on a number of internationally acclaimed projects that have broken new ground in art, technology and science. She is currently a NESTA Dream Time Fellow, spending a year developing her interdisciplinary collaborations. She was until recently Professor of Visual Art and New Media and Co-Director of the Centre for Arts Research, Technology and Education at the University of Westminster.
Roger Hiorns
Born in Birmingham, 1975. Lives in London. Roger Hiorns makes works of art whose particular aesthetic lies somewhere between the representational and non-representational, and so disrupts our expectations of the boundaries between them. His sculptures have a seemingly straightforward, functional material presence, but this is always combined with an element which provides a sense of the imaginary, the poetic or the esoteric. The tension between these two aspects is a vital part of Hiorns' work. Recent shows include Art Now on the Sculpture Court at the Tate Britain and exhibitions at Marc Foxx, Los Angeles, and Corvi-Mora, London. He has just been announced as the co-winner of the 2007 Jerwood – Artangel prize.
Paul Morrison
Born in Liverpool in 1966., he studied at Goldsmiths' College 1995-98. Morrisons first solo show was in London in 1996. Since then he has shown widely in the UK, Europe and the USA .He is best known for his black and white landscapes which are at once familiar and foreign He infuses a sense of urgency, anxiety, and humour into environments that a viewer would normally consider peaceful background scenery. He has recently had shows s in Munich, New York, Grenoble and exhibits with Alison Jacques Gallery in London.
