JOSE ALEXANDER HIDALGO DON BURY KEVIN FRANCIS GRAY KAROLYN HATTON ROBERT HARPER JONES EVA ROTHSCHILD STEWART R. SIMONS CLARE WOODS HETEROGENEOUS LOVES CURATED BY CRAIGE ANDRAE An exhibition of work by a new generation of young UK, Canadian and US artists. A colour bifold catalogue was produced with a text by the curator. During Craige Andrae's time at London's Goldsmiths College in 1999 he met a group of artists and arranged for them to send work over to the EAF for this exhibition. In Broadsheet magazine, he said łthis exhibition is as much about my likes and interests as anything else.˛ Andrae's catalogue notes suggested that the exhibition had no theme, and was a disparate collection of works which should be viewed on their individual merits. These artists seemed uninterested in making grand gestures, and the context for their work appeared less the post-pop and conceptual minimalism of the past decade, but the flip and loose world of niche-culture magazines, movies on video, and home colour-printer technology. An understated approach is taken: J-A. Hidalgo's delicate drawings of homoerotic scenarios; Karolyn Hatton's drifty clouds and cottonwool-explosions; Eva Rothschild's mini-psychedelic woven collage and atmospheric incense-burning tyre. Even Don Bury's sexualised re-edited scenes from Planet of the Apes, Top Gun, and The Sound of Music, were subtle or funny, not in-your-face. |
