James Capper - Ways To Make A Moblie Sculpture

Albion 2017 ISBN 9780992717179 Acqn 27853
Hb 29x29cm 144pp 172ills 135col 30

James Capper makes mobile sculpture to be used in action in a wide range of materials or
terrains. His works are sculpture, and sculptural tools in - or ready for - action. Drawing is an
important part of his practice and he makes large numbers of drawings of all kinds - from concept
drawings (defining, developing and outlining new ideas and concepts for sculpture), technical
drawings (line or filled-in drawings used to work out how the sculpture moves) to presentation
drawings (spectacular, often large-scale, coloured drawings showing the sculpture in its complete
form) and in-action drawings (complex drawings showing the sculpture in movement across
space and time). In this way, for every realised sculpture there are a large number of drawings
accumulated from conception to completion, as well as drawings made after the sculpture is
finished; it is characteristic of James to draw his sculptures well beyond the fabrication period and
even to return to specific sculptures through drawings years after they are made.

Avish Khebrehzadeh
Albion 2017-08-17 ISBN 9780992717186 Acqn 27854
Hb 29x29cm 88pp 43col ills 30

Avish Khebrehzadeh (Born in Tehran, Iran, 1969) studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Rome and has lived and worked in Tehran and Rome, before moving to Washington DC where
she is currently based. Her work explores the power of figures and their multifaceted narrative
aspect in multitude of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, animation, film, as well as
video projections onto drawings and paintings.

For her second exhibition with Albion, Avish moves into new territory making images that use film
stills from a handful of her favourite modern European film makers, including Andrei Tarkovsky,
Bela Tarr, and Visconti and Ingmar Bergman. Some of their most celebrated but enigmatic works
inform this new body of work.

The catalogue includes a text by Booker Prize winner Anglo-Nigerian writer Ben Okri. Entitled
Seven Fugues, this short piece of writing does not critique the work but creates a dialogue with
the artist. While the painter makes images drawn from the film, Okri weaves a narrative
sometimes truthful and often fanciful. Nonetheless he is captivated by the intensity of her image
making in the same way that he recalls the oral tradition of the storytellers of his own country.
