Space invaders Film

Simona Paintieri made a short film entitled ‘Here I am’ about rural life on Sheppey, reflecting both the architecture and culture, capturing the beauty of the Island in a large projection work. She worked with a group of young people from Sheppey Matters, teaching them professional filming and editing skills while in the process of making the work.

The Disciples Of Lucas Cranach

Paul Westcombe, Adam Nankervis, Eleni Zagkali, Nicole Mollett, Duncan Ward, R.W.M. Hunt, Victoria McBride, Charlotte Warne Thomas, Christina Mitrentse, Lloyd Durling, Nadia Hebson, James Baxter, Jonathan Farr, Polly Huggett and Jonas Ranson.

Conceived by Duncan Ward and Nicole Mollett in the wake of Cranach exhibitions at the Courtauld Institute and Royal Academy, the book gathered together seven artists all making works in response to Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553).

Now at Utrophia the original seven are joined by seven more to make the exhibition version of the project. Most of the artists will be creating new works for the show, the two-dimensional focus of the book expanding to accommodate sculpture, installation, and live performance.

Out of this multiplicity of viewpoints and approaches should emerge a rounded portrait of the artist Lucas Cranach, as seen five centuries after his death.
