Tale
In association with UWN
Tale is a collection of works evaluating the breadth of work produced by Sear since 1992, and holds the key to Sear's exhibition at g39. It highlights the occurrence of narrative throughout her work as well as the necessary frictions and connections between adjacent images. Previously her work has been viewed in chapters, one coherent body of research following another in carefully balanced exhibitions; with this exhibition and the accompanying publication and essay we can begin to see the connections and links that make Sear’s work an enthralling experience.
Tale also includes an accompanying narrative text written by David Chandler, director of Photoworks in Brighton. It was produced in association with University of Wales, Newport.

Toby Huddlestone
For the John Gingell Award, Toby Hulddlestone rearranged the traditional timeline and hierarchies of an exhibition. His first action was to assemble an editorial board who were invited to produce a retrospective book of his work. The book is in response to Toby's entire archive of works, from the humblest early-college awkward life drawings through to accomplished works involving a number of collaborators and roles. The decisions and tangential content of the book was devolved to the editorial board who met regularly in Unit#3 where the process of creating content was always in the public eye. Those decisions shaped what Toby installed in g39 during the exhibition.
Produced by Toby in collaboration with Zoe and Christabel Gingell, Tim Davies, S Mark Gubb, Michael Cousin, Anthony Shapland and Chris Brown.

Pascal-Michel Dubois Print
Meteor IV (2010)
Michel-Dubois' practice can be seen as a device to invite the spectator to question and investigate our familiar fields of knowledge and imagination. The material of the everyday initiates his curiosity. Dubois is interested in the capacity that art owns to take you from that space in that moment, to another space. He regards his work as an idle observation of life like a doodle, therefore, it is always in the making, constantly re-interpreting the fabric of reality.
Ed. 20, 70x50cm, printed on Hahnemule Photographic paper using Epson Stylus Pro 9900 and Ultrachrome HDR. Lightfast up to 75 years. Will be dispatched in a postal tube (or can be collected from g39 wrapped flat in cellophane with card backing)

Simon Holly print
No. 60126 Sir Vincent Raven at York (2010)
For this incredibly ambitious drawing Simon Holly studied an archive image of York railway station from 1950s. Isolating 1cm2 at a time, he recreated each fragment from memory using graphite and charcoal pencils. The resulting fragments were then reassembled back into a memorised version that bears a startling accuracy to the original image.
Simon Holly is interested in the process of sampling, taking a mass of visual information and reconstructing it. Working with glossy low-culture posters or popular imagery he deconstructs and meticulously re-assembles them, transformed and subverted.
