Bringing Objects to Life
Leading London production company Nexus has recently signed Camberwell College of Arts BA Graphic Design alumna Kris Hofmann.
Chris O’Reilly, Co-Founder and Executive Producer at Nexus, said, “Kris is a really exciting young talent. She’s helped us in recent months with the creative development of some projects and has shown fantastic design skills, a very clear thought process, and a tremendous amount of energy. We’re big fans of her previous work and think she will be a great addition to the Nexus team.”
Having moved to London from Austria in 2004 to take up a place at Camberwell Kris subsequently went on to study animation at the RCA. Her graduation film ‘Breakfast’ caught the eye of the film-making industry and has since toured film festivals throughout the world. This in turn helped her to gain funding from the Austrian Film Council to make ‘Screwed Up’.
You can listen to an interview with Kris talking about her work, influences and time at Camberwell in a podcast over on Directors Notes.

Public House Projects
Public House Projects is a new artist run gallery space above the Gowlett Pub in Peckham supporting the work of emerging and established artists.
Opening on Thursday 12 January the first exhibition will feature a new installation by Camberwell College of Arts BA Sculpture alumna Josie Cockram. Josie was also the recipient of the Acme 2011/12 Camberwell Studio Award.
‘Two Works: Looped’ playfully intertwines the mundane with the absurd. The installation mixes references to current digital techniques with a somewhat nostalgic nod to more traditional analogue methods of capturing images. Projections are looped and allowed to slowly run out-of-sync while the images reflect onto glass screens. The images are accompanied by sound and text, creating a deep collage of audio-visual information.
Public House Projects – 62 Gowlett Road, (above the Gowlett pub), London SE15 4HY
Open: Wednesday – Sunday, 12:00 – 18:00

The South London Black Music Archive
The South London Black Music Archive
Dates: 17 January – 24 March 2012
Launch event: Tuesday 17 January 2012, 18.00 – 20.00
Venue: Peckham Space, 89 Peckham High Street, London SE15 5RS
Peckham Space presents The South London Black Music Archive, an exhibition by artist Barby Asante that aims to celebrate, preserve and investigate South Londoners’ personal relationships with moments in black music history.
Peckham Space will be transformed into an ‘open archive’ mapping objects which represent and explore the personal stories which comprise the fascinating history of the influence and evolution of black music in South London.
Welcoming contributions from the public, this archive will include items such as books, magazines, concert tickets, posters, stories, records and CDs gathered and displayed with the reverence of museum pieces. Asante’s selected objects highlighting seminal moments in this history will share the same platform as visitors’ objects and stories depicting their own experiences through music and memorabilia.
One of the founding items of the South London Black Music Archive will be a ‘limited edition’ vinyl specially produced for the project as a result of the artist’s collaboration with young people from the Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) mentoring programme. This artwork was created in affiliation with Regeneration & Community Partnerships, Tate Modern with an exclusive record sleeve by graphic design collective Åbäke.
Copies will be available from record shops across South London and at Peckham Space for the duration of the exhibition. It will feature Asante’s own take on the BBC’s ‘inheritance tracks’ for which members of LOT were asked to contribute songs that inspire them.
Songs chosen include tracks by Adele, Michael Jackson, Edvard Grieg, Nigerian singer Prince Nico Mbarga, Bob Dylan and Lauryn Hill which will be represented as a soundscape alongside recordings of the young people telling the stories and explaining their selections.
Barby Asante said: “The influence of black music on the development on popular music is often overlooked. Black music has also played a significant role in the development of British culture from the 1950′s and this is a great opportunity to provide a platform for people to consider the significance of this cultural activity on their lives.”

Among Other Things
Among Other Things
Adam Chodzko, Andrew Dodds, Kelly Large, Nicoline van Harskamp
Dates: 10 January – 10 February 2012
Opening event: Tuesday 10 January, 17.30 – 20.00
Opening times: Monday – Friday 9.00 – 20.00 / Saturday 10.00 – 16.00
Talk by Nina Power: Thursday 26 January, 17.00 – 18.00 / Lecture Hall, Wilson Road.
Venue: Camberwell Space, Camberwell College of Arts, 45 – 65 Peckham Road, London SE5 8UF
Among Other Things brings together objects, video, sound and installation by four artists who question what it means to produce work through relational encounters with and between people.
At a time when the role, affect and stories of objects are undergoing renewed scrutiny the exhibition asks what differences, if any, are evident between encounters with ‘objects’ formed through relational practices, and those produced from the traditional artistic disciplines.
The artworks in the exhibition reflect a multiplicity of ideas and approaches towards the process of production including explorations of chance, dialogue, distribution and evolving strategies of engagement. Crucially, the artists in the exhibition engage with material outcomes to address social and political notions of agency, (re-)assembly and futurity. Here, beyond props to past events, and in a critical spirit of collectivity, the artists hint at potential events to come or yet to be imagined.
Among Other Things acknowledges both the institution of the university and the student body as sites of potential and, following recent and ongoing social unrest, Nina Power gives a public talk as part of the exhibition programme.
A publication, Among Other Things, supported by Camberwell Press accompanies the exhibition and features a new essay, Entangled Objects, by cultural geographer Craig Martin.

Modern Tone
Jesse Wine – Modern Tone
Camberwell College of Arts BA Sculpture alumnus Jesse Wine has a solo show at The Sunday Painter.
Dates: 9 December 2011 – 15 January 2012
Private view: Friday 9 December, 18.00 – 21.00
Venue: Sunday Painter 1st Floor, 12-16 Blenheim Grove, London, SE15 4QL
Taking a medium-sized leaf from the 2010 Picasso ‘Mediterranean years’ exhibition at the Gagosian Gallery Britannia Street site, Jesse Wine has transformed the rather more modest sized Sunday Painter space into a museum style viewing chamber in which to experience, whilst edging around in a legally-complicit gap, a new body of sculptures and a one-off replica of Picasso’s 1951 painting Les Pigeonnes Perches the artist has had commissioned.
With the selection of sculptures that includes a faux-marble sagging bottom and a ceramic pot that seems to be alluding to some vague primitive culture sitting atop a colossal plinth alongside the cost-price Picasso replica an odd array of domesticated art-objects have been elevated to uneasy heights.
Jesse Wine – Education: MA Sculpture – Royal College of Art, 2010. BA Sculpture – Camberwell College of Arts, 2007.
Recent solo shows include - Dax Wax, Hayward Gallery, Concrete Cafe, London 2011, and every portrait a self portrait, kinda like every pizza a masterpizza, Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York, 2010.
Recent group shows include – Slipped Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge, 2011 and Cult of the Ruin University of California Irvine, California 2010.

Positive Notions
Camberwell College of Arts 2nd year FdA Graphic Design students have been working on a project with Tara Hanrahan from Thinkdo Studio and Sophie Thomas, one of the founders of Thomas Matthews.
The project involved students creating communications strategies aimed at having a positive effect on people’s behaviour.
