A blog is a global image archive for a private community of interests. Completely different images are presented within the blog in a uniform format, and it is this succession of images, the visual chain of association, that accounts for their charm. The blog reacts to the variety and torrent of images by means of this formatting. We invited the bloggers on vvork to show a collection of images in the form of an installation in public space, thus creating a walk-in, three-dimensional blog on the Alter Meßplatz in Mannheim.

Resisting establishing a clear thematic curatorial framework, Dean embarked on a period of non-linear meanderings, guided by idiosyncratic interests, chance, association and coincidence to a set of works that make up the final whole - a process not unlike that used in her own art production. Like Dean, Julia Rosa Clark has followed a series of disparate clues and eccentric threads on her unknown route to the final proposition. The culmination is a group exhibition of selected artworks and a free printed booklet - the curator’s anecdotal writing about the works on view. Sing Into My Mouth includes enquiries into the nature of intimacy, desire, influence, exchange, memory/ false memory, self, autobiography, interpretation, poetics, contingency, dormancy and resurrection.

LE/ MARCEL ODENBACH/ VONG PHAOPHANIT/ CAIO REISEWITZ/ TRACEY ROSE/ HANS CHRISTIAN SCHINK/ FIONA TAN/ GUY TILLIM/ DAVID ZINK YI INCLUDING PRE- MODERN WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE STAATLICHE MUSEEN ZU BERLIN- ETHNOLOGISCHES MUSEUM Paradise, or unpredictable, menacing jungle, escape or place of damnation? This exhibition investigates the myth of “the tropics” through the juxtaposition of contemporary and pre-modern artworks. Contemporary artistic involvement with the myth of “the tropics” is juxtaposed with historical objects from the geographically defined belt of the tropics.Curated by Prof Dr Viola König, Dr Peter Junge and Alfons Hug, and brought to the Iziko South African National Gallery by the Goethe-Institute, this exhibition will, for the first time, show rare pre-modern art from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Ethnologisches Museum, in South Africa. Exhibits from Africa, Asia, Oceania and tropical America on loan from the Ethnologisches Museum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin − some of the most important worldwide − enter into a dialogue with the works of 15 contemporary artists from Germany, Spain, Brazil, Great Britain, Vietnam, Indonesia, Peru and South Africa. With the exhibition at Iziko South African National Gallery from Wednesday 1 April until Sunday 14 June 2009 (Tuesdays to Sundays 10:00 until 17:00), it is the first time that artefacts from the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin’s collection are being shown in sub-Saharan Africa. The Tropics: Views from the Middle of the Globe has in an extended version been presented in Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro and Berlin. It was hugely acclaimed and in Brazil alone more than half a million visitors came to see the show. The exhibition is accompanied by a cultural programme of Iziko South African National Gallery as well as the Goethe-Institut. The exhibition The Tropics: Views from the Middle of the Globe is a joint project of the Goethe-Institut and the Ethnologisches Museum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and was funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

The project considers how such photography might contest received ideas of property, community, location and beauty, etc. Photography by artists Simryn Gill, Mandy Lee Jandrell, Virginia Nimarkoh and David Spero provides the catalyst for new writing by Anthony Iles, Kate Soper and John Wood. Edge of a Dream involved a series of seminars held at Camberwell College of Arts and Goldsmiths during 2008 and 2009. Research from the project will culminate in a book to be published in 2009, with an introductory text by Paul Halliday. Camberwell College of Arts Research Office and the Department of Design, Goldsmiths have supported this project. Edge of a Dream is a research project led by Virginia Nimarkoh.

The speakers reflect an interdisciplinary range of photographic, theoretical and research areas, and through six panels will explore the nature of past and contemporary photographic approaches to the representation and evocation of city life. The theme of ‘the encounter’ is explored, not only in the way photographers experience the city, but also through discursive encounters between urban social science and visual practice. There is an associated exhibition, photographic workshop and curated urban walks programme co-ordinated by Photofusion and the Centre for Urban and Community Research (CUCR) Website: http://www.goldsmiths.ac.uk/cucr/urban-encounters/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LATITUDE NYC 14 March-16 April 2008 Opening reception: 6-8pm, Friday 14 March 2008 NYCAMS GALLERY Curated by Andréa Stanislav, Isha Bøhling LATITUDE London • Minneapolis • New York City -- a traveling and transformative group show drawn equally from the international cities of Minneapolis/London/NYC in which artists interact with each other’s work and each new exhibition space, to evolve over space and time in exhibitions in London, Minneapolis and New York City. The work evolves with each new location/space. Common themes occur through convergence, global exchange, fake vs. real, mutating identities, urban history, and trans-local existence -- a dialogue emerges between the artists from all three cities that illuminates their migrating relationships and their interactions with each exhibition space. London: Sarah Baker, Diann Bauer, Isha Bøhling, Matt Franks, Neil Hamon, Andy Hsu, Mandy Lee Jandrell, Sharone Lifshitz Minneapolis: Ryan Chamberlain, Katinka Galanos, Suzy Greenberg, Abinada Meza, Liz Miller, Kristin Peterson, Andréa Stanislav, Erik Ullanderson, Marc Willhite, Rosemary Williams New York City: Daniel Bouthot and Christopher K.

From different cultural perpectives all of the artists examine our romanticised view of landscape, questioning our gap between our perceptions and the real. The works also highlight the duality of our desire to surround ourselves with depictions of nature whilst the reality is constantly eroded around us.

Their individual projects are brought together to reflect on the concept of democracy, and how this thought provoking term is interpreted in today’s society. Encompassing photography, video and installation, the selected artists offer a survey of compelling, challenging and sometimes controversial interpretations into the multi-faceted manifestations of democracy, its uses as a vehicle and the associated by-products attached to it. From images of village communities in defiance to images of torture and humiliation, from young Bosnian girls in graduation dresses to the idyllic world of international themed parks, Make it a Better Place features artists pushing the boundaries of the photographic image. At the core, is the most fundamental of questions, is democracy always a good thing?

REAL, FAKE AND IMAGINED6 October - 29 October 2006 PERMANENT PROJECTS at The Regency Townhouse , Brighton , UK LAURA BRAUN/ MANDY LEE JANDRELL/ MELANIE STIDOLPH These emergent artists present new and previously unseen photographs that explore notions of landscape and the building of meaning around it. Playing in the beginnings of illusion, nature approaches fantasy and constructed leisure environments are exposed in their fallacy. Sited within these wonderful Regency surroundings, amidst restoration, this exhibition correlates with the traces of opulence and removed layers. ‘Real, Fake and Imagined’ is produced in association with Permanent Gallery and is curated by Paddy Kernohan. Real, Fake and Imagined will be published in the February 2007 issue of Miser and Now (published by Keith Talent Gallery) with a textual response from Clare Moloney.

NEW UTOPIA1 September - 30 September 2006 BEARSPACE, London , UK SARAH BAKER/JULIA ROSA CLARK/ANDY HSU/MANDY LEE JANDRELL/NICOLAS LAIZ PLACERES "We are the Knights of New Utopia, in the exercise of our own sovereignty and desirous of the greatest possible degree of liberty independence, in order to form a more perfect government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this 'Constitution for the Principality of New Utopia.'" Constitution of the Principality of New Utopia, www.carbonfusion.com/utopia New Utopia brings together a group of artists whose work reflects on the fairytale and self-fulfilling aspirations of utopian imagineers. This exhibition explores the follies of bootleggers and buccaneers, who subvert and celebrate the desire that gives rise to the vision of a purist society. Each artist separately draws on the tension between real and imaginary aspirations of those dissatisfied with their society, pinpointing the moment when vision for utopia becomes something else... Mandy Lee Jandrell's photographs from a series entitled "Eidyllion" explore landscape idylls as found within the constructed leisure environments of theme parks and zoos in various countries. Her lush images question our unblinking acceptance of idealistic visual language within the built environment. Jandrell's work was seen on the East End Academy at The Whitechapel gallery. Based in the UK, she has exhibited extensively both locally and internationally. For more info, e-mail: bearspace(at)thebear.tv A Limited edition numbered poster by Damien Poulain to accompany the exhibition is available from: www.damienpoulain.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAKE PHOTO HERESummer 2006 Fleisch Magazine (Nr4), Austria Selected images from Take Photo Here and Where the Grass is Green series, showcased over 8 pages. For more info, www.fleisch-magazin.at ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GREEN10 May - 8 June 2006 Winchester Gallery, University of Southhampton, Winchester, UK An exhibition of contemporary photographic and video works in which the colour green figures prominently, with its inevitable connotations of the environment, the rural landscape, and the dubious notion of a 'green and pleasant land', which sits uneasily alongside questions of heritage, ownership, access and use. Jandrell's large scale photographs reflect the 'themed' environment increasingly popular in the UK and elsewhere. Safari parks, botanical gardens and nature trails are all part of a highly controlled rural landscape. Jandrell explores these territories across Europe and beyond to create images that are comical and curious: the rhinoceros strolling through green English parkland, or the plastic Tyrannosaurus Rex looming aggressively in the traditional green of a stately garden. These images invite us to question the cultural filters through which we view the countryside.
