ANNE• crosses new borders in 2015!

Posted on Feb 12, 2015 by annepoint

By the end of October 2014 I started a research project with choreographer Miku Tsuchiya. The process consisted out of four makers intensives on four different locations throughout the UK in which spatial composition, dance, painting, movement and film were explored. The flow was enticing and the footage was rich. Consistency and style began to form out of two different disciplines, dance and visual art, bringing it to a new level in which exploration and intuition became the leading roles of this collaboration. Central to this research is the use of the digital canvas as our main tool.

When in December 2014 Miku moved back to Japan, we became well aware that in this digital age boundaries are relative when it comes to distance. Since we have landed in the next step of our work process, the digital step, we have decided to collaborate from opposite ends of the world.

From this day we will log the process of our collaboration onto this blog as a support for the work being created through theory and practice.

Collaboration with Jack Goodwin

Posted on Nov 24, 2014 by annepoint

I dare you!

Tomorrow, 25^th of November, my almost 48hour collaboration with composer Jack Goodwin will be shown at Goldsmiths Great Hall at 7.30pm.

Jack has asked me to make an abstract and non-narrative film to accompany his soundtrack, after he saw my film work. This collaboration is a first in a line of experiments we will undertake over the coming months in which sound and film will be explored.

We start with me responding in a first visual film reaction to the soundtrack Jack composed, after which Jack will compose a first musical reaction to my film. Further down the line we will see what this will bring us and if or how we can start the process of creating simultaneously.

Come and see!

All at sea

Posted on Nov 13, 2014 by annepoint

Last Monday I had another interesting conversation with artist Billy Cowie at his Brighton studio in which we discussed dance, film and sound while watching our work on the big screen.

Another challenging film session took place with Miku Tsuchiya at Brighton’s sea side where we braved the elements till our joints were locked together by wind, water, stone, iron and sound.

Autumn research with Miku Tsuchiya

Posted on Nov 4, 2014 by annepoint

This autumn I am researching dance and film with choreographer and dancer Miku Tsuchiya. In this collaboration we let a chosen location influence and challenge both our views and work methods to come to a new image that combines dance and film as one.

These photo’s are a sneak peek into our current work process.

Dazed Angles

Posted on Oct 22, 2014 by annepoint

Yesterday I went to see an exhibition of four works by Richard Serra in the Gagosian Gallery: BACKDOOR PIPELINE, RAMBLE, DEAD LOAD, LONDON CROSS.

Dazed and inspired by such an sensory experience of spatial composition, brought on by both artist and the architecture of the gallery building, has given me new artistic fuel.

Go and get inspired till the 28th of February 2015!

Juul Kraijer – The Wapping Project Bankside

Posted on Sep 22, 2014 by annepoint

On Wednesday the 17^th I went to the opening of The Wapping Project Bankside – Mayfair’s new location.

This reopening was accompanied by an unique photo exhibition of the Dutch artist Juul Kraijer. Her photographs reminded me of classical oil paintings that can mesmerize the spectators stare, holding it hostage by a stillness in the moment portrayed. The artist told me she started with the idea to frame her models face like a medallion. Because she worked with animals, however, the original idea started to transform into a dynamic canvas on which the content was constantly changing.

Go and see both this exhibition and gallery!
From 18^th September – 30^th October 2014

In conversation with Liz Atkin

Posted on Aug 18, 2014 by annepoint

Last Friday I met with the inspiring artist Liz Atkin, to have a talk about her practice, my final showcase and making artistic choices.

At the beginning of my current master study Creative Practice Liz gave a workshop during the module Performance Making in which she made us come out of our heads and into our bodies by using the technique collage.

‘I had planned to take you all even a step further during the workshop, by letting you have a three dimensional response to your initial paper collage.’
However, time flew by while we were working and before we knew it it was time to pack-up, but the process did not stop there for me. At arriving home I immediately started to make three other collages over the next week and I even used it in choosing material for my collaboration on PERFORMANCE with Libby Wade. This rediscovering of the collage technique opened my eyes.

Throughout my creative practice, and even as a kid, I have used the collage technique to create in-depth work. The technique allows you to access your intuition and create a state of flow in which you create without right or wrong whilst emerging yourself completely in the doing.

During our conversation Liz gave some great insight on work processes and made me have a real brain fart when I discovered that I have been using collage in not only the editing phase of my final showcase, but also during the filming and designing, yes even running and writing phase of my final project. This discovery will definitely become a thread through my thesis writing.

She encouraged me, much like my tutor Tom Paine, to call myself an artist first and let the medium I use to create my work be no more defining than a means or tool to present the ideas I have.

Check out Liz Atkin‘s artwork and have a listen to her latest interview with the BBC at 35:14min.
