We are delighted to be partnering with Royal Pavilion &Museums to deliver a series of new large-scale sculpturalworks from British artist Laura Ford. We are furtherdeveloping our relationships with co-commissioning partnersPhotoworks and Outside in, presenting a new installationfrom Natasha Caruana and an exhibition of work fromAndrew Omoding and Anthony Stevens, the latter also inpartnership with Phoenix Brighton. We continue ourcollaboration with Carousel on the HOUSE Biennial themedfilm programme, which we are delighted to be presenting inpartnership with Depot in Lewes. Feature films selected byLaura Ford will be accompanied by Carousel artist shorts. Weare pleased, too, to partner with Photoworks, Royal Pavilion &Museums and O N C A, in a community project with BrightonTable Tennis Club, led by artist Becky Warnock.

It is exciting to be commissioning this body of new work froma great range of artists, exploring the theme of Excess throughthe telling of stories. We hope you will enjoy viewing it all overthe coming weeks.

HOUSE Biennial is grateful to Arts Council England, Brighton& Hove City Council and all our funders and sponsors fortheir generous support.

Judy StevensDirector HOUSE Biennial

Foreword About HOUSE Biennial 2017HOUSE Biennial’s theme for 2017 is Excess. We asked eachcommissioned artist to take their own approach in exploringnotions around our theme and the consequences of society’sappetite for desiring too much.

This year, we have invited renowned British artist Laura Fordto make a series of new sculptural works. Ford has taken herinspiration from the Royal Pavilion’s collection of Regencyperiod satirical caricatures, providing a commentary on thePrince Regent’s lifestyle, plus aspects of excess within Britishpopular culture. Consistent with Ford’s customary approachto her work, comic invention is deployed to grapple withwider serious societal issues.

HOUSE has also initiated new commissions from South Eastbased artists Natasha Caruana, Andrew Omoding andAnthony Stevens.

Natasha Caruana’s, Timely Tale is a lens-based work setagainst a backdrop of love, desire and health in the age ofExcess. The work centres on a specific family story, but onealmost all will recognise.

Meanwhile, Andrew Omoding and Anthony Stevens cometogether to create a joint exhibition. Working in mixed-mediaand textiles, threads and sewing, both artists mindfullyrepurpose unwanted materials to create new artworks.

Storytelling is a common thread within all the HOUSEBiennial artists’ commissions. A rich visual narrative runsthrough each, drawing not only on the artists’ personalexperiences, but also on common events and scenariosfamiliar to all. In some sense, the works act as prompts for usto consider our own moral positions in relation to thesubjects explored.

The programme also includes a participatory communityproject led by artist Becky Warnock. For Crossover Point,members of the Brighton Table Tennis Club have beeninvited to collaborate on a digital storytelling project thattakes inspiration from Brighton Museum & Art Gallery’sWillett Ceramic Collection.

Alongside artist talks and events, a programme of filmsaround the biennial theme of Excess has been selected byLaura Ford and is accompanied by short films from Brighton’sCarousel filmmakers.

You can find out more about the programme athousebiennial.art

We look forward to seeing you at the festival,

Celia DaviesHOUSE Curator and visual arts advisor

Laura Ford

A King’s AppetiteHOUSE Biennial commission In partnership with Royal Pavilion & Museums

Temporary Exhibition Gallery 3British artist Laura Ford has been commissioned by HOUSEBiennial in partnership with Royal Pavilion & Museums.

A King’s Appetite is a new sculptural installation takinginspiration from the Royal Pavilion & Museums collections,including caricatures by James Gillray and GeorgeCruikshank, satirising aspects of the life of the Prince Regent(later to become King George IV), and imagery found in theWillett Collection of Popular Pottery.

Ford’s work always shows a curiosity with the humancondition and wider social and political issues and oftenmixes the bitter-sweet with wit. These new works exploresocio-political notions of excess, greed and indulgence andthe Imperialist attitudes they reflect. Her works are alsoalways carefully crafted and this commission includes worksmade in a range of media including ceramics, sewn textilesand plaster, to create sculptures that are both rich in narrativeand visually enticing.

As the commission’s title A King’s Appetite suggests, theimagery found in the new works relates to contemporaryissues pertinent to Excess, the theme of this year’s HOUSEBiennial, looking at the subsequent inequalities of both theRegency period and of society today.

Laura FordBorn in Cardiff 1961, Laura Ford studied at Bath Academy of Art from 1978-82 and at Chelsea School of Art from 1982-83. At 21 she was theyoungest participant in ‘The Sculpture Show’ at the Hayward andSerpentine galleries.

Andrew Omoding and Anthony Stevens

Common ThreadsA HOUSE Biennial/Outside In co-commissionPresented in partnership with Phoenix Brighton

London based artist Andrew Omoding and Brighton based artistAnthony Stevens have been co-commissioned by HOUSE Biennialand Outside In to create a joint exhibition for the first time.

Both artists work with mixed media and textiles, taking discardedand unwanted materials and repurposing them to create new objectsthat share personal stories and perspectives.

Anthony Stevens is a self-taught artist whose work is aboutexpressing personal experiences and processing the consequences.His characterful hand-embroidered textile collages draw out satiricalobservations around human behaviour and our underlyingmotivations. The act of making the work is itself mindful, animportant part of understanding Anthony’s work. Steven’s workshares personal stories alongside more widely known fables toexplore the Biennial theme of Excess and its implications found inmythological and historical events, as much as in contemporarysocietal values and consumerist trends. This includes how the needto be loved has been manipulated into a desire to overconsume.

Andrew Omoding’s work is largely autobiographical. His mixedmedia creations, which include sculptures, books, costumes andmore are made from left-over and scrap materials. Like Stevens, thecreative process is a key component of the work, where Omodingselects a variety of found materials to weave, wrap, sew, thread andconstruct new objects. An intuitive process, the works are created asOmoding’s stories evolve. Whilst making, the artist simultaneouslysings, performs and shares his works through storytelling. Andrewmay be present in the gallery at selected times throughout theexhibition to share wider stories on the works exhibited - for moreinformation see: housebiennial.art

Walk and Talk with Anthony Stevens – Sunday 29 Oct, 15.00In the Gallery with Andrew Omoding – see housebiennial.art for detailsMuseums at Night Artist Round Table – Friday 27 October 19.00- 21.00See page 11 for details

Andrew OmodingAndrew Omoding creates work reflecting on growing up inUganda, moving to London aged 12, and being part of a large,loving family.

Andrew joined ActionSpace in 2010. In 2015 he took part in a 6-month residency for Craftspace and Outside In’s Radical Crafttouring exhibition. Professor Trevor Marchand, SOAS,documented Andrew at work in his studio for a catalogue articleand film.

Outside In provides a platform for artists who see themselves as facing barriers to the art world for reasons including health, disability, social circumstance orisolation. The goal of the charity is to create a fairer art world which challengestraditional values and institutional judgements about whose work can andshould be displayed.

These HOUSE Biennial and Outside In co-commissions are presented in partnershipwith Phoenix Brighton and supported by Chichester Decorative Fine Arts Society.

Anthony StevensAnthony Stevens is a self-taught artist whose work expresses and processes trauma and its after effects. He works as a PeerSupport Specialist.

Anthony’s work is influenced by his practice of NichirenBuddhism. The Buddhist concept of ‘nothing is wasted' ismanifest in Anthony’s choice to work primarily with scrap fabrics.In doing this, he looks creatively at what may appear to be uselessand beyond repair. This process offers a direct correlation withhow he strives to understand life experiences; sometimes apainstaking and frustrating process, but ultimately feeling joy and satisfaction with the resulting creation.

Natasha Caruana

Timely TaleA HOUSE Biennial/Photoworks co-commissionPresented in partnership with University of Brighton

Natasha Caruana has been co-commissioned by HOUSE Biennial and Photoworks to create a new lens-based work. Timely Tale is setagainst a backdrop of love, desire and health in the age of Excess – the theme for this year’s festival.

Excess is explored in the artwork through the vehicle of the artist’smother, Penny, and the audience will see the work in the setting of a ‘medical waiting room’.

To experience Penny’s story, viewers will be transported via themedical waiting room into her bedroom through a short filmcapturing: recuperation, finding the right outfit, storing medicationand looking for the perfect online partner. The piece addresses theidea of choice and how, in the long run, too much choice can oftenlead to decision-making paralysis and its consequences.

As much as the work is a comment on our current social and politicallandscape, it is also an observation of how the photographic frame,with the advent of new technology, is dramatically changing for thefirst time. The work is viewed through headsets and Timely Tale uses360° technologies to empower us to look around the artwork withchoice of what to see.

Artist Talk, Saturday 4 November, in the Gallery, 12.00 See page 11 for details

Becky WarnockBecky Warnock is a London based artist working acrossphotography, film and theatre, using participatory practice to create innovative, community engaged art powering socialchange. She is passionate about social justice and using thearts as a platform to stimulate dialogue and exchange.

Crossover Point is a community project led by artist BeckyWarnock, working with a diverse group of participants fromBrighton Table Tennis Club to explore stories, memories andthe ideas that connect us.

Starting from the stories found within Brighton Museum &Art Gallery’s Willett Collection of Popular Pottery, such as theDevil/Pope stirrup cup, and the Museum’s collection ofRegency caricatures, the project considers ideas around thetheme of Excess and the polarities that having too much ortoo little can foster.

The Willett Collection is catalogued into a variety of themescovering all aspects of British life, including the political,social and cultural. The project explores some of theCollection’s themes such as history, sport and pastimes, with aseries of workshops, activities and discussions, sharingstories, playing with caricature and inviting therepresentation of personal narratives. Looking at the objectswe use to tell our stories, the project considers how thesechange across different cultures, ages and backgrounds.

The project culminates in a moving image collaborative work,screened in the Willett Collection Room at Brighton Museum.

HOUSE Biennial film programme

Stories of ExcessSelected by Laura FordHOUSE Biennial in partnership with Depot, Lewes

For the HOUSE Biennial film programme, Invited Artist Laura Fordhas selected a series of films, each of which tells a story laying barethe iniquities of Excess.

Together the five films span a range from the decadent social codes codes in 18th Century England, via the morality free world of 1950’sAmerica newspapermen, to a contemporary sense of entitlement,hypocrisy and the corruption of a decaying European aristocracy.Through an exposé of the hedonism of the wealthy middle-aged andthe imbalances and excesses of gross capitalism, the films reveal thegreed and wealth of a society from which nothing positive can come.

Accompanying the programme of feature films is a series of shortfilms that make connections with Ford’s selection, curated by SarahWatson and Will Hanekom of the Oska Bright Film Festival.

On 26th October, Laura Ford and Celia Davies, HOUSE BiennialCurator, will hold an In Conversation exploring Ford’s film selectionand its relationship with her new commission.

Rag and Bone Bin commissioned by Turner Contemporary in 2007, isa distorted depiction of Beatrix Potter’s famous childhood characterMr. Brock. Enveloped in an old sleeping bag this familiar badger isstreet-worn and squalid, seen rifling through a bin looking for ediblewaste to sustain his homeless existence. There is of course ahumorous irony in the disenchanting of this childhood figure butthere is also an arresting sadness surrounding the character’s demise.

Ford selected the worksspecifically with the idea that they inhabit the space in a similarway to the objects in Jean Cocteau’s film ‘Beauty and the Beast’,in which everything in the grounds appears to come alive.

The installation, entitled ‘Beauty in the Beast’, provides aunique experience for diners in the Pallant Restaurant andCafé, as well as visitors to the gallery, who can see this and allground floor exhibitions for free.

Roy Voss’ new commission The Way Things Are is a sculpture thatstretches the length of the Pavilion’s ground floor gallery space,between the floor-to-ceiling windows and the thin columns that run along it.

Constructed from machined and push-jointed wood, the sculpture’sform is drawn from the artist’s memories and from Victorianlithographs. It is a delicate and precise skeletal form that conjures anidea of a pier.

With the wild sea as a backdrop, Voss finds something romantic aboutthe British seaside pier, its simple impulse to reach the end and thereassuring certainty of being able to return.
