Home About Sculptures, installation & intervention Projects include a selection of individual sculptures alongside collaborative installations, site-specific sculptures and short-term public interventions. Many of these works are multi-media including digital, real-life, and conceptual features. Some themes for this practice have included the fragility of perception, mysticism, absurdity, public, private and civil infrastructure and the performance of production and consumption.

Testing Situations About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More Testing Situations was awarded a Wellcome Public Engagement Grant to tour around the UK throughout 2019. Through a range of events - from exhibitions and one off screenings to interactive workshops, live experiments and public discussions - the tour drew upon the knowledge of experts and communities to learn how testing can affect people’s lives and society at large. If you would be interested in hosting an event, collaborating with us, contributing to the Testing Situations archive or would like to find out more, please contact us. You can keep up to date with the project by following us on Twitter . Please see below for details of past events Jupiter Woods Jan/Feb 2019 Press Release The first presentation of Testing Situations took place at experimental art space, Jupiter Woods in London. This month-long exhibition included a multichannel film installation of the 'Neva', a sound installation of a typical testing environment and an interactive, evolving archive. Contributions and informal conversations with visitors and a series of group discussions uncovered a range of new perspectives and questions such as: what is the role of artists in the representation of neurological illness? Who has a stake in these representations? Are joy and sadness mutually exclusive emotions? How could modifications to testing environments and furniture design help improve the experience of assessment? UCL Institute of Education March 2019 We gave a talk about the ethics of artists working with people with dementia, as part of a workshop and discussion event about the ethics of public engagement. A blog post by the UCL Public Engagement network, which reflects on the session can be found here RDS Regional Facilitator Meeting March 2019 As part of the tour, we'll be visiting regional rare dementia support groups and trialing new testing ideas and activities. We'll be developing a series of screenings, as well as talks, conversations and creative workshops using story-telling, object handling, mark-making, drawing or sound. Touring Map April 2019 We've been busy booking in venues and this is how the map is looking at the moment. More details coming soon. In the meantime please get in touch if you would like us to come and visit you or you want to know more about these dates and events. Activity Trialing - May 2019 The team has been trialing some activities for the the tour including object handling, drawing a story telling. We're also excited to present some new work from the Single Yellow Lines project over the next few months First touring dates (05/19-06/19) Image Gallery For the first dates on the tour we've been visiting regional support groups for people affected by young onset dementias, and inviting people to take part in the project through screenings, conversations, object handling and drawing exercises. Minutes from these meetings can be found here . Please click here for lines painted in VR at Brainpower UCL Festival of the Brain Alexandra Palace 16th June 2019 Image Gallery We spent an afternoon at Alexandra Palace including getting to know each-other through music and object handling, followed by a film screening of the 'Neva' . In the second part of the session we made blue-tack sculptures and marked drawing boards, which were brought together at the end. This tabletop will be constructed and exhibited at the end of the tour. Unique Cottage Studios - 9th & 10th August 2019 Image Gallery We ran a two-day drop-in event at beautiful arts facility, Unique Cottage Studios in Spalding, Lincolnshire. This included screenings of the 'Neva', alongside an exhibition of artworks, archival documents and objects and participatory drawing activities. Through this we had many valuable, in depth conversations about people's experiences of testing; increasing awareness about rare dementias and learning more about support services in rural locations. SYL Preparations and Inspirations August / September 2019 The Single Yellow Lines project has been in constant development. We were blown away by the simplicity of marks in this painting titled Kufic , 1965 by Lee Krasner on display at Barbican Centre. It seems to relate strongly to some of the themes we're exploring and in preparation for our activities and experiments at Barbican at the end of October, we've also been developing some VR experiments and playing with lab equipment. Catalyst Tour, Newcastle September 2019 Dementia Innovation Hub Co-ordinator Catherine Butcher and TS project lead Charlie Harrison getting ready for a tour of the Catalyst: National Innovation Centre for Ageing in Newcastle. Testing Situations will be one of the first collaborators in this space and we're looking forward to showing all the artwork and learning outputs from the public engagement tour in early 2020. CCA Glasgow Workshop 16th September 2019 Image Gallery We had a brilliant time at CCA Glasgow for the first of two in-depth workshops. Through talks, participatory activities, screenings and making workshops we reflected on the methods used in Testing Situations and considered whether we might ever be able to measure creativity. Living Well with Dementia 25th September 2019 Testing Situations project lead Charlie Harrison spoke at the Living Well with Dementia event at the Met Hotel in Leeds. This was an amazing day of talks and workshops, curated by the Every Third Minute curators and West Yorkshire Playhouse. It was a great opportunity to discuss what we've been learning through the tour and the importance of working together. More information from this event can be found here. CCA Glasgow Workshop 30th September 2019 Image Gallery For the second day of workshops at CCA Glasgow we explored the Single Yellow Lines project. As a group we considered the history of simple artistic gestures, the value of expression for people with dementia and the tensions existing when scientific and human data is aestheticised. Bloomsbury Festival 19th October 2019 Image Gallery A wonderful day at Lumen URC for Bloomsbury Festival. Collaborator Prof Elizabeth Warrington dropped in to see how the project has been progressing, and it was great to introduce the work to lots of interesting festival goers. Single Yellow Lines at Barbican Centre 23rd-27th October 2019 Image Gallery We had lots of fun over 5 days at Barbican Centre; inviting visitors to paint single yellow lines in both real-world and virtual painting environments. How do we interpret these lines? Do we need to? The takeover was also an opportunity to discuss innovative research investigating the perception of verticality from UCL sensorimotor lab and for one day only we presented an audio-visual installation in the Level G Studio, converting bodily data into sound. Fabrica Gallery, Brighton 4th November 2019 Image Gallery In conjunction with the ESRC Festival of Social Science and an exhibition about Care at Fabrica Gallery Brighton, Testing Sitiuations held an event focussing on drawing, research and evaluation including discussions about movement, expression, perception, hope and memory alongside social scientists Prof Paul Camic and Emma Harding. Grainger Market, Newcastle 14th November 2019 Image Gallery The final stop on the tour was in Grainger Market, a beautiful traditional market in the heart of Newcastle. This pop-up space provides information and a drop-in service for the local and wider community and it was brilliant to understand better the services available and how people are affected by dementia and cognitive testing in this part of the UK. Look out for details about our final screening and exhibition event in Newcastle on 7th and 8th February 2020 at the Catalyst: National Innovation Centre for Ageing. The Catalyst, Newcastle in partnership with the National Innovation Centre for Ageing 7th & 8th February 2020 Image Gallery The final showcase event took place in at the new groundbreaking facility in Newcastle, The Catalyst: National Innovation Centre for Ageing. Testing Situations presented an exhibition of learning from the tour featuring artworks from Clive Smith, Dan Moxam and a newly commissioned film titled 'Margaret' and supporting imagery by film-maker Harry Lawson. The main event featured presentations from project lead Charlie Harrison, social scientist Emma Harding and collaborator Mhari McLintock followed by screenings of 3 artistic films made by, or in collaboration with people living with dementia. The afternoon session included a participatory workshop and group conversations with around 60 attendees, both individuals and groups from North East.

ACE Developing Your Creative Practice - Supporting Imagery & Information Please find below some imagery and information in support of my Developing Your Creative Practice application. The proposed work would seek to expand on my knowledge of filmmaking techniques and especially in the use of 16mm equipment. The primary theme and location for this work would be Lincolnshire and the fens - I am interested in the area of the fens which was historically reclaimed from the sea. I want to understand the history of water management in this environment and those who have lived and continue to live here. The below work details some initial exploration of these techniques and themes, including previous experience of filmmaking, working with landscape imagery in Scotland, and people living with rare dementias. Further information is given about projects which have explored water management systems, the land and materials of the fens, and relationships between human and non-human systems. I have also included some links to relevant information about important sites, archives, centres of knowledge and cultural context for the proposed development work. LINCS 2020 Experiments with clay-making, pottery and painting. Experience with Filmmaking the 'Neva' is a multichannel video installation about dementia, narration and the landscapes of a test. Are the voices of people with dementia diminished by cognitive testing materials? This film demonstrates individual capacities for expression through narration whilst exploring creative, historical and aesthetic qualities hidden in a scientific test of reading. Featuring 6 narrators who encounter a range of challenges with reading; from perceiving letters and words, to speaking them aloud or understanding their meaning, the film aims to highlight retained strengths for communication through bodily gesture, facial intonation and the playful drive to express oneself. The short passage that is narrated in the film is commonly used by neurologists when assessing reading abilities, and it was devised by Prof Elizabeth K Warrington as part of the Queens Square Screening Test for Cognitive Defects. The text includes details from Prof. Warrington’s own personal history and the film creatively explores these names, places and objects in association with the narrations. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The film will be toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant.
