HIVE PROJECTS | T1+2 Gallery presents ‘Bon’, by Denise Palma Ferrante
Date: Thursday 26th November 2009
Time: 7.00pm - 9.00pm
Location: 8-10 Greatorex St, Whitechapel, E1 5NF
Denise Palma Ferrante’s ‘Bon’ is a one-off live vocal performance from an international group of performers. It will take place in The HIVE’s warehouse space in Greatorex Street on the evening of Wednesday 26 November. The exhibition will be open from 7-9pm, with the performance taking place at 8pm.
The piece forms a part of the longer running interrogation of social conformity and indoctrination found in Ferrante’s work. In this one-off performance the artist explores the ability of language to create forms of entrapment, and also to create non-functional forms of existence. The piece explores the development of sound into expression and language.
Denise Palma Ferrante is a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Berlin. Her work stretches between photography, sculpture, film, performance and gastronomical invention. Besides her solo-work she is part of the Basso collective who are in residence at the Waterloo Sunset Pavilion, the Hayward Gallery from 27-29 of November.

HIVE PROJECTS | T1+2 Gallery presents Los Fundamentos, the third part of Javier Rodriguez’s three-month residency at The HIVE, and Anja Henckel’s Perspektivenweschsel | Change of Perspective.
Inhabit calls attention to the life of one urban site – St Paul’s Walk, an underpass on the North Bank of the Thames. Slated for regeneration - considered unused and lifeless - it provides shelter for homeless persons, illegal immigrants and refugees of all descriptions. The temporary artworks commissioned by HIVE assert the life of this non-place, engaging with the conditions of marginal existence.
Javier Rodriguez's intervention Los Fundamentos will take the form of a built structure or shelter made from wooden pallets. In addition, the walls and columns of the North Bank underpass will be pasted with the poster, which gives the installation its name. Its image, taken from a fascist military manual is a didactic graphic illustration of the effects of ill hygiene and human vices. This attack on 'degeneracy' will exist in suggestive conjunction with the structural piece, asserting a relationship between narratives of urban regeneration and social exclusion.
Anja Henckel's Perspektivenwechsel | Change of Perspective reflects upon the tension between opposing functions of the North Bank site; sanctuary and hardship. Her piece comprises two interrelated elements, cardboard carpet-islands reflect upon the isolation, arrivals and inadequate comforts of the place, whilst a womb-like shelter of soft-furnishings brings into relief the very fabric of comfort and home.
This will be the second in a series of interventions that HIVE is staging on this site as part of an ongoing dialogue with the urban landscape and City of London Corporation. It marks the location's final week as a 'public space' before a semi permeable wall is put in place as part of a five year regeneration strategy which will significantly change the status of the space. The term urban 'regeneration' carries undertones of resurrection. That is to say, it purports to bring 'life' back to an area. But who diagnoses its absence? To paraphrase Mark Twain - Have reports of its abscondment been greatly exaggerated? HIVE’s innovative artistic education programme will continue to engage with the site as it moves towards regeneration with a series of exhibitions and events scheduled to occur throughout 2010.
Inhabit will take place from 6-9pm on Wednesday the 25th of November. As part of this intervention there will also be a soup kitchen, staffed by HIVE workers and students from the nearby Courtauld Institute of Art.

Who Decides the Value of Contemporary Art? -A panel discussion, Q-Art London in collaboration with LCACE.
Chaired by Julian Stallabras.
Panellists include: Patricia Bickers (Editor Art Monthly). Jane Lee (Head of Fine Art Central St. Martins), Lisa K. Samoto and Wolfe Lenkiewicz (Director and artist/ founder of T1+2 Gallery), Kirsty Ogg (Curator, Whitechapel), Sarah Rowles (Q-Art London) and Sophie Hope (artist) Anne-Sophie Dinant (Curator, South London Gallery). Event co-ordinator Evelyn Wilson, LCACE.
This panel discussion will focus on how contemporary art is valued and by whom.
In doing so, it will examine how different parts of the art world (e.g. independent and publicly funded galleries, museums, critics, collectors, academics and artists themselves) set about creating the value of contemporary art and how indeed 'value' itself is defined by different stakeholders? It will also explore the nature of the connections that exist between different parts of the art world and what influence, if any, individuals and institutions have upon each other. It will also take a critical look at the ways in which global issues impact on what is valued, by whom and why.
The discussion is part of an ongoing process initiated by Sarah Rowles, founder of Q-Art London who, last year, decided to undertake research to unpick the art world and get to grips with it as part of her BA Art Practice at Goldsmiths. This research has resulted in her writing and publishing '12 Gallerists:20 Questions, a fascinating and revealing set of interviews with twelve London-based independent gallerists. The publication is now selling in Tate Modern and the ICA. Her work also led her to establish the Q-Art London network which, in the year since its inception, has established and run convenors for emerging artists at all the capital's arts schools.
