Contemporary installations by new artists supported by Brighton creative company

Props Studios

Props Studios, Brighton-based creative specialists in design, bespoke props and sculpture for the arts, retail and events industry, are sponsoring three highly promising new talents in the Brighton Artists’ Open Houses Festival.

Entitled ‘Girls’ School’, Alexandra Dipple, Jason Hall and Matt Pagett will be displaying new work. Alongside prints, drawings and sculpture, each artist will have sole use of the bedroom as an installation space for one weekend only. Jason Hall’s work focuses on sexuality and society, including a decommissioned tank bullet shell engraved with homophobic insults and an AK47 with a gay flag. His work will feature a tribute to Justin Fashanu on the tenth anniversary of his death. Alexandra Dipple deals with issues around authority, control, erasure and censorship. Her show will include a graphic equalizer made of books, and an alchemical piece using books about madness burnt to ashes and presented as pills. Matt Pagett explores apparently unrelated issues surrounding processes, signs, transience, desire, beauty, man and machine. Matt will replace his bedroom furniture with a coffin.

Nina Constantin, managing director of Props Studios, said: “We are very passionate about working with artists to produce creative installations.”

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

» Artists Open Houses

AOH Special: It’s Festival time in Brighton & Hove, which means the Artists Open Houses have opened their doors for another year! Maps of all the trails can be picked up across the city. We love nothing better than browsing and buying arts and crafts, and there is so much going on throughout May that we’ve made it easier by bringing the Artists Open Houses to you! We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
