JULIE NORD
Afternoon at the Fringe
22 June – 22 July 2007
“Roommates”
Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to present Danish artist Julie Nord’s first UK solo exhibition Afternoon at the Fringe from 22 June to 21 July. Since completing her education at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2001 Nord has received tremendous national and international success with recent exhibitions at AroS-Aarhus Art Museum, Denmark 21C Museum, Kentucky, Malmö Kunsthal, Creative Center, Shanghai and Singapore Art Museum to name but a few.
Julie Nord’s ink drawings and watercolours have achieved critical significance due to their exploration of a surreal universe. These scenes appear familiar to us through our recollection of childhood literature, a land of fairytales and fantasy, and yet they are darkly resurrected from this period of innocence – appearing almost apocalyptic in their kitsch-gothic reproduction. Nord’s interpretative works create a space between the unquestioning innocence of youth and the cynical awareness that develops from maturity. Still the works remain inherently fictional due to Nord’s play on proportion and caricature style. The viewer is lured into a false sense of security then shocked by the newly sinister scene. The effect is one of entrapment – simultaneously captivating and disturbing. Nord’s drawings conjure a nostalgic past poisoned by the unsettling reality awoken to in adulthood.
Julie Nord has enjoyed global success with major group projects including Through the Rabbit Hole: Sleights of Scale and Flights of Fancy at 21C Museum, Kentucky; Girlpower & Boyhood at Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh; MALM 2 at Malmö Kunsthal, Sweden; Fiction@Love: Forever Young Land at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai; Ultra New Vision of Contemporary Art at the Singapore Art Museum and Fairy Tales Forever at AroS-Aarhus Art Museum, Denmark. Solo shows include Elsewhere at Mogadishni; The Cycle at la Caixa Foundation, Spain and From Wonderland with Love at AroS-Aarhus Art Museum, Denmark.

Exhibition dates: 19 July – 18 August 2007 Hales Gallery is pleased to present Lobby an exhibition curated by Dan Shaw-Town and Matt Johnstone. This is the second in a series of summer shows where the gallery is handed over to independent curators, artists and in this case fine art students. Lobby includes the work of five emerging artists who have all made works specifically for the show. Tim Bennett, Peter Joslyn, Matt Johnstone, Magali Reus and Dan Shaw-Town are all studying the MFA Fine Art programme at Goldsmiths College, London. Lobby: The anteroom, an eternal state of display, dressed for the first encounter. The lobby is a space of transition and circulation, a temporal sanctuary to rehearse the next appointment. The edifice of waiting, people and objects made equal, all props awaiting activity. It resists clear function, becoming a place where time and reality feel displaced, waiting for us to catch up and carry on. The anti-room. The set. The threshold of responsibility. Tim Bennett trained to be a cook and a stonemason and adheres to a particular artisan aesthetic. He maintains a protestant work ethic and lives and works in Munich and London. In the summer of ’99 Peter Joslyn moved to London and in an attempt to express what he calls his ‘liberation’, adorned himself with baroque tattoos and has not looked back since. Magali Reus spent time as a child staring at the fountains of Holland’s suburban shopping malls. She soon developed an acute awareness of the media landscape, with their fusions of Eniwetok, Freud and Disneyland. Matt Johnstone travelled to London as the singer in the band Sub-cult. Although the group disbanded in 1999 he continued to develop as an artist. He started his art education in Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees and arrived in London in 2003. Dan Shaw-Town arrived in London four years ago. He has followed a well trodden route, working in numerous jobs as an invigilator in galleries all over the capital, much the same as Dan Flavin and Robert Ryman who worked at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in the late 1950’s.
