Holly Graham – Artists Lunchtime Crit

balancing, being in limbo, practicalities, juggling, having odd-jobs, carving out space, and modes of working within, outside of and along-side art institutional frameworks; a physical to-ing and fro-ing, ducking and diving, navigating and negotiating of place, re-positioning of self, flying limbs and swinging hips, a constant two-step.

Kate Turner & Alex McNamee – Artists Lunchtime Crit

Doggerland – prehistoric landmass between England and Europe – mort log – death log – piece of writing – conservational terms – bodily language / romantic language / belching – contradictory to scientific description – personal importance of objects – making / found objects – is showing just the object enough?

Paul Civati – Artist Lunchtime Crit

six pictures from London, three showing the river Thames others focusing on the modern architecture. each of these pictures are taken in the evening around sunset

For November’s Crit, Turf kindly invited Lenses of Croydon to lead. I and other members brought along some work to share. My work primarily focuses on city, streets and cityscapes all across London. We had some interesting discussions on composition, my techniques and the time of day images are shot as light is so important.

I have attended a few of Turfs’ lunchtime crits, always being surprised and excited by the number of local people these engage (quite a rarity from my experience in galleries) and the crit attendees’ political and creative relationship to the local area, so when I was asked to host one I was delighted.
