Fragmented evidence of overlooked ephemera

Candy Jernigan:

Obsessively documented her existance! Manifested  the idea of 'proof of life,'  documenting evidence of her journey through life. Collected memorabilia including detritus of  food she consumed, coke tabs, bugs, empty cigarette packs, scraps of doodles and drawings- and other odd things. She presented them in notebooks and journals that recontextualize the every-day.

Susan Hiller:

Installations/ Video / Photography / Performance / Writing

Cornelia Parker:

Installation artist and sculptor. 'Cold Dark matter' was an exploded shed, blown up by the army and suspended the fragments as if 'suspending the process in time'. In the centre was a light which cast shadows around the walls of the room. 

Peter Blake:

The English 'pop' artist who is best known for designing the famous sleeve for the Beatles album 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. Works across media- collage, scultpure, engraving, printmaking and graphics. He was of the british pop artist generation including David Hockney, Richard Hamilton and Patric Caulfield.

Eva Hesse:
Pioneering work in materials such as latex, fiberglass and plastics. A natural feel for materials and command of composition. 'Where does painting end and drawing begin?'
