Jerwood Solo Presentations will be the second of two new curatorial projects taking place in the gallery across July and August. It will follow on from the Jerwood Staging Series, a programme dedicated to event-based presentations including seminars, screenings and performances. Both will provide a crucial London platform to promising artists. Lucy Parker, Rachel Pimm and Katie Schwab were among a number of artists nominated by Jerwood Visual Arts’ former Writers in Residence, and were selected by Sarah Williams, Head of Programme, and Oliver Fuke, Gallery Manager. Each artist will have a solo presentation in one of the three galleries at Jerwood Space. Lucy Parker will be presenting new film work based on her in-depth research into the practice of ‘blacklisting’. Rachel Pimm will show a moving image installation relating to her studies into the proximity of plastics and water; Katie Schwab is producing a mixed-media installation piece inspired by the work of twentieth-century female printmakers. “Jerwood Solo Presentations provides a platform for artists to present a focussed new body of work, as well as offering developmental support. Lucy, Rachel and Katie have been selected for the quality of their work and are all at a crucial point in their thinking. It is a privilege to support three exceptional artists and the realisation of three distinct bodies of work.” Sarah Williams, Head of Programme, Jerwood Visual Arts.
