Contemporary installations by new artists supported by Brighton creative company
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.”
