"The world becomes an apparently infinite, yet possibly finite, card game. Image combinations, permutations, comprise the world game" - Jim Morrison 


Hop skip is a show which examines games. We all play them, from the playground to the grave! life is a game! what games would you like to play? how would you like it to begin and end and how many players will they be? some physical games test endurance, stamina, strength, skill, agility and focus, while some test your mental ability. Some say it's the taking part that counts while others need hard fast results! what about the games we play in relationships, do you play the sulk, the jerk or the square? For one night only we have invited artists to make up their own game or make work from existing games. 

Ed will also be opening up his studio with the clear as mud collective!

Reframed at Stephen Lawrence Gallery

Open Gallery: REFRAMED
A unique exhibition bringing together artists from diverse backgrounds

Where: Stephen Lawrence Gallery, University of Greenwich SE10 9LS
Dates: 11- 19 June 2009
Events: Private View 10 June 2009, 6-8pm. Closing event, 19 June 2009 5-7pm
Times: Monday to Friday, 10am-5pm, Saturday, 11am-4pm
Admission: Free, all welcome

Self-taught artists from homeless, addiction and offending backgrounds have been selected to submit artwork for display at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery. This diverse and dynamic group of artists have been making art for a number of years. REFRAMED aims to displace the frame of the past that lingers around their work, so that it may transcend the personal histories of its creators.

Conceptual artists practising within a contemporary and highly critical framework will create responses to these artworks, to be incorporated throughout the exhibition. There are no restrictions on how these responses manifest themselves: they may be in any media and engage with any element of the artworks.

REFRAMED will encompass and challenge notions of validity, artistic inclusion, cultural authenticity, and the fetishisation of the outsider. This is a unique opportunity to witness a creative dialogue between two distinct groups of dedicated artists.
With contributions from Simon Anderson, Colin Barrass, Than Clark, Alberto Duman, Ben Eastop, Richard Gildea, Sophie Hope, Hannah Hull, Ibrahim Kirimli, Jamie Lane, Oliver MacDonald, John Reardon, Trish Stevenson, George Westren and Laura Wilson.

REFRAMED is a project by Hannah Hull.

Daniel Lehan has been described as a 'bob a job, odd job kind of artist.'

He has worked on a wide range of visual arts projects, including collaborations with writers, dancers and musicians.  He currently works with galleries and museums to deliver creative projects to children, young adults, the elderly, and those in prison.

Daniel's works often begin with simple instructions that any man, or woman, in the street can follow: ‘Make a sign saying what you want’, ‘write down your darkest thoughts’, ‘collect unusual stories from the newspaper’, ‘draw a pie chart of your emotional life’.

He uses understated calm and reassuring charm to encourage people to interact and create these works with him.  The end products are a rich patchwork of thoughts and ideas gathered up from the minutiae of people’s lives.

For this retrospective to celebrate his 50th Birthday, Daniel has selected some of his artworks and given them to his favorite artists and performers to interpret in their own way. On 12th of March in the Montague Arms, the artists will present a variety show of new live performances, music and poetry inspired by Daniel’s ideas.

At the end of the night, Lehan will present a short lecture entitled ‘What I Have Learnt After 50 Years On This Planet : There are Four Rules For A Successful Life, which the experience of life has taught me …’

The evening takes places in The Montague Arms, which has been described by the London Paper as ‘The best pub in the country’ and was voted number one pub by The Rough Pub Guide : A Celebration of the Great British Boozer. Artist Frog Morris curates an eccentric mix of art, music and comedy on the second Thursday of each month in the pub.
