Making Art Work
Artist Sinéid Codd, in conversation with Mary-Alice Stack, Arts Council England, former Director of Paintings in Hospitals

The discussion will focus on some of the functions of art and art making for an artist working within both private and public spheres - particularly the arts in health sector.

Sinéid Codd is an artist with extensive experience in developing participatory arts projects. Since 1997 she has been working in the arts and health sector on a series of commissions for institutions such as The Royal London Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Trust, Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Trust and the Great Western Hospital. She co-ordinated the ARTBRIDGE artist in residency program with Paintings in Hospitals (1999 - 2001). In April 2009, her work was featured on a BBC Arts in Health slide show (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8014719.stm)

Sinéid's personal work explores relationship, loss and memory through colour and natural form. She has exhibited with the Whitechapel Gallery and the Royal Academy and has work held in private, public and corporate collections.

Sinéid’s latest solo exhibition 'underneath and in-between' continues at Curwen & New Academy until 21 November.

David Rhys Jones: Spitalfields Revisited

05 Nov – 18 Dec 2009

Opening receptions
Wed 04 Nov 6-8pm
Sun 08 Nov 2-4pm

At The Rectory Gallery, 2 Fournier Street, London E1 6QE

Open first Thursdays of the month 1-9pm
Open by appointment all other times

The work of David Rhys Jones is based on journeys he has made, in the case of this exhibition, the area of Spitalfields has been explored. The imagery collected whilst making the journeys forms a documentation of the landscape and architecture, social cultures and activity within the space. The viewer’s attention is brought to focus upon a selection of intriguing details of the surroundings, which together build a sense of narrative of this journey.

The collected imagery is transferred onto a variety of mediums, most often ceramic blocks, but also onto silk and some work on paper.

David Rhys Jones studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and has exhibited widely including the V&A Museum, The Royal Academy and the Courtauld Institute of Art.
