Poster created by Vibe gallery. ‘Florescence’ by Ryan Dunn.

To celebrate their new online arts and culture magazine ‘Vibe Press’, Vibe Gallery are collaborating with TRANSITION COLLECTIVE to bring you ‘Stimuli’ – things to excite the senses and sensory deprivation hallucinations.The unity of separate entities through sensation real or imagined, and the manipulation of perception and memory.

The impetus – to exist, to explore, to consume, to play, to transform, to destroy, to nurture, to disorientate. Strange new worlds, the detachment and revelation created inside a void.

A pared back exploration of emotional and emotionless life, and the formation and storage of memories. Fear conditioning, sensory stimuli reaching out to associate.

The collective take on alien siphonophoric flesh and internal light, each art zooid is an individual, but their integration attains the character of a larger organism. Reach in. Feel the sting.

Stimulate to unite to excite to fight to remember.

A development from last January’s exhibition Con:FRONT. Journeys, achievements, inspirations from then to now, bite narrative flashes.

From the confrontation to the transcendence. Peaks of emotion, orgasmic limbo, trapped nerves, phobic crescendo, the excess of success, burst barriers held before you in glorious stopped motion. Celebrate the high, the adrenalin, the gut reaction, moments of triumph captured and distorted.

From birth, to bloom, to animal experience, to discovery, intellectual exploration and expansion, mental and physical exertion, euphoria.

PV 23rd August 

Live music night 24th August featuring

Aven Zirself + Wei Lou from 8pm

Introverts from 9pm

Open 24th August – 2nd September

Metal bars, metal hearts. The stage, the cage. Icons and swooners. Looking in, looking out. Break free, break loose, break out. The explicit and the censored. Wild, fierce, primitive, waiting, watching. The performance, the captivity. The prisoner, the keeper. The hunter and the hunted. Persecution, rebellion. Yearning, dreaming, living. Uniform, frippery, trappings, regalia, warpaint. Hoops, stunts, showdowns. Beauty, mortality, broken mirrors. Traditional roleplay, modern life. The expectation, the anticlimax. Control, submission, freedom. The beast within, mass consumerism, mutation. Branding, subculture, the fall of man.

Greek physicians of the fourth century B.C. thought hysteria was caused by migrations of a restless uterus, or ‘wandering womb’. This concept is attributed to Hippocrates, despite the fact that it never appears in any of the Hippocratic texts.

Hippocratic authors manifest a distinct break with magic and religion. They claim that hysteria may result from prolonged sexual continence, an opinion which was to influence medical history for over two thousand years.

Join our hysterical creatures for a month of Interior Hysteria. Secrets, recesses, hollows, obsessions, sanctuary, constructed decay, personal castles… Let there be light.

Friday 6th April – Sunday 6th May

Through her experiments in photography and light, Jessica Kilpatrick explores the human face to present the cool and heat of otherworldliness. Spectral, luminous and lonely creatures from a deep sea dream. Psychedelic intimacy, provoking feelings of the bizarre and the unknown. Glowing and distorted negatives, duplicating features, creating movement, swimming in rich dream-glo colours. A soaring sense of anxious energy flowing into the release from a trap of strange fantasies…

We’re talking about form, we’re talking about content, we’re talking about interrelationships…meanwhile the statues run amok. Horrifying shocker as a biological experiment goes haywire when mutations invade a peaceful sterile environment. Therapeutic nesting and group therapy. The new church. The new asylum. The new emotional warrior. The warm comfortable huddle. Secret societies. The sculptures communicate with each other, creating dialogue beyond the original intent.

‘The Nest’ takes sculpture out of context, exaggerating the personalties of the works shouting to be heard and nurtured. Their physicalities are thrown into a strange new comparative community, enhancing their ultimate separateness while meditating strength in numbers. The B-movie gets introspective.

Featured ARTISTS:

Aephie Huimi – balloon murder murmur
Andre Pinto – film installation and sound art
Apple Tart as living sculpture
Benedict Romain – sculpture
Bruno Jamaica – installation sculpture
Charlie Buckitt as living sculpture
Katy Wallwork – sculpture
Lyndsay Martin – photography
Miguel Ivorra – installation sculpture
Nerida Ackland – sculpture and craft, living sculpture
Squid ~ ~ ~  Rowdy Squid Set, with Squid dressed as a squid!
Valentina Piras – sculpture
Vinny Montag – sculpture

The sculptures start to creep at night. Don’t miss the madness.

The private view took place on 23rd March, with a Rowdy Squid Set, Aephie Huimi’s balloon murder murmur with dark sound art by Andros O Morto and Wei Lou, and living sculpture created and performed by Nerida Ackland, Apple Tart and Charlie Buckitt.

Long walks by the shore of the Thames have brought Vinny Montag many amazing objects. They form a part of his sculpture and in doing so begin a new life cycle and fresh shape as something called art. Take a moment to allow yourself to engage and look carefully. Found objects have many stories to tell and meanings to discover.

Tobacco pipes, animal bones, bottlenecks, bone china fragments, rubber
shoe soles are all potential players in Vinny’s Thames sculptures. Using wooden boards and a paste made with sand and glue, he carefully selects and fixes these objects into their scene.

Most of the sculptures shown in this exhibition are imaginary portraits. Expressionist masks with a strong African influence and poetic titles, exploring Vinny’s interest in Dogon and Benin art. In combination with miniature modelling figures he creates situations and image bite narratives with such beautiful simplicity and humour.

The river and its castaways are speaking now.

A 4 hour live drawing by the infamous Jack Gobsmob and International Nobody. Event kicks off at 6pm @ Seven at Brixton this Friday 17th February 2012. Seven are relaunching their exhibition space, so there are sure to be plenty of other treats in store…

'Guernica With Meatballs' by Jack Gobsmob + International Nobody (drawn live at Con:FRONT 2012 @ Vibe Gallery)

Jack Gobsmob
http://jackgobsmob.wordpress.com/designprint-stuff/

Jack Gobsmob is from London and likes punk music, low-brow art and comic books. He screen prints posters and flyers for gigs, slogans, and things that he has made. Jack bakes nice cakes, plays guitar in legendary south-east London punk band ‘Mummy Says I’m Special’ and helps out at Screaming Matriarch – an online art store specialising in vinyl and knitted dolls. If you meet Jack be sure not to look him directly in the face, he takes this as a sign of disrespect and can become violent. Always show deference.

International Nobody
http://www.internationalnobody.com/

International Nobody attempts to make pretty pictures for walls, ceilings and
skateboards often, without much luck but sometimes they turn out alright and people think about buying them.

East London based screen-printer and illustrator, International Nobody, creates vibrant and bold imagery in a style that the artist describes as ‘low-brow’, ‘subversive’ and ‘infantile’. Having completed 4 years of art school, International Nobody’s creative career began in the vinyl toy industry as a designer/maker after rejecting (and being rejected by) the fine art world.

Comic book monsters, femme fatales, apocalyptic angels and creatures that attract and repulse frequently appear in International Nobody’s work. Think separated, stylized and ‘street’.

Influences include: everyday occurrences in the inner city, gothic fairytales, freaks, circus & carney show culture, racy art nouveau, lucha libre, punk rock, hippity hop, Halloween, retro film posters, comic book universes, J-horror, amateur pornography, and the kind of British-ness one would find in the Carry-On movies of the 60′s and 70′s.
