Project News: Hybrid (Coming Soon)

The next issue of 12-Pages, the online publication from TBC Artists' Collective, will be available from 8th March. Edited by TBC member Beverley Bennett, the forthcoming issue is entitled Hybrid and will include new work by TBC artists, invited guests and from open submission. I have submitted three new digital drawings, which are a development of my recent Ben-Day dot paintings, which will be seen first in Hybrid on the 12-Pages Online Project Space.

Studio Views: Work in Progress

Studio photograph of work in progress (2011)

The photograph above, taken today in the studio, illustrates current work on a new drawing. Hand-drawn squares of graphite have been repeatedly photocopied until the image surface becomes disrupted, and then the resultant mechanically produced interventions are re-drawn exactly by hand.

Project News: Windows (Coming Soon)

Charley Peters, Window V Windows (2011)

Window V Windows is a new work for TBC Artists' Collective's forthcoming publication 'Windows', which will soon be available to view on the 12-Pages Online Project Space. It used the photograph View from the Window at Le Gras as source material from which to make a work for the February issue of TBC's online publication. View from the Window at Le Gras was the first permanent photograph, created by Nicéphore Niépce in 1826 in Saint-Loup-de-Varennes, France. Niépce produced his photograph—a view of a courtyard and outbuildings seen from the house’s upstairs window—by exposing a bitumen-coated plate in a camera obscura for eight hours on his windowsill. In Window V Windows Niépce's seminal work has been glitched by opening it in Wordpad for Windows and intervening in the image's coding, creating a mash-up of analogue and digital photographic data.

'Windows' by TBC Artists' Collective will be online at www.12-pages.com soon, featuring specially commissioned work by TBC Members and their invited guests.
