SEeAFAR at Folkestone Triennial

SEaFAR at folkestone Triennial 2014

Foa + Hosea, Crali McCall, Anne Robinson, Sarah Sparkes, Thurle Wright

At The Old Truckers Lounge, Folkestone Harbour 

over the opening weekend of Folkestone Triennial 2014

29th - 31st August

Taking place in a former waiting room for the Folkestone ferry, SEeAFAR features six artists – Foa + Hosea, Carali McCall, Anne Robinson, Sarah Sparkes,Thurle Wright – whose work manifests absence. Through drawing, painting, installation, performance and moving image, these artworks recall the perspective of generations of women living in a state of unknowing as they wait for news or the return of loved ones from overseas and explore the tensions between anticipation and memory, separation and speculation.

Sarah Sparkes' great grandfather was a Magic Lanternist. Using his decaying lantern slides and combining these with a magicians' optical effects, the artist has created a series of works illuminating the ambiguous relationship between the woman watching on the shore and the spectre of the shipwreck at sea. In ' Jane Conquest rings the Bell' a standard maritime narrative is re-imagined in which a visionary woman looks out from behind the helm of destiny.

GHost at opening of Folkestone Triennial

 

GHost has been invited to haunt the B&B Space in 14 Tontine Street for the duration of the Folkestone Triennial (25 June – 25 September). Our project GHost CLHub has manifested in a corner of the B&B and will open its doors to the public on 25 June. Over the three months of the Triennial GHost CLHub will explore  the hidden narratives of ‘hauntings’ emanating from Folkestone and the Shepway area and our corner in the B&B will grow from the initial exhibition into an archive of artworks, artefacts, documents, films, stories and other entities.

For the opening of GHost CLHub we will be showing haunted artworks by Miyuki Kasahara, Calum F. Kerr, Domingo Martínez Rosario, Sarah Sparkes, Ricarda Vidal and Cathy Ward.
