Nought to Sixty: Artists and Projects

A cumulative lists of all artists and projects involved in Nought to Sixty.

 

About Nought to Sixty

Nought to Sixty presents sixty projects by emerging artists based in Britain and Ireland over six months from 5 May to 2 November 2008.

 

Most of the artists in Nought to Sixty are under thirty-five, few of them have had significant commercial exposure, and in most cases this is their first opportunity to mount a solo project in a major public space.

 

The season is not intended to announce any new generation or style, but to build up a multifaceted portrait of the emerging art scene in the two countries, and to provide a space for exchange.

 

The Nought to Sixty programme consists of:

 

 

Events happen at the ICA every Monday night:

Artists

Beier and Lund present a trilogy of works that interrogate the social fabric and institutional culture of the ICA.

Matthew Darbyshire


Darbyshire gives the ICA's public spaces the coloured lighting schemes of other public, retail and corporate spaces from across London.

Sean Edwards


Edwards investigates the sculptural potential of the everyday, often using remnants of previous activities as his starting point - including found or borrowed objects, bits of other works and studio knickknacks.

Redmond Entwistle


Entwistle's work employs documentary and abstract modes of filmmaking, often investigating histories of social displacement.

Freee's polemical slogans and attitudes find their expression in a variety of media and space.

Maria Fusco

Seamus Harahan


Harahan's work uses video footage of the urban environment, its incidental detail and fugitive nature.

Hardcore Is More Than Music

Emma Hart and Benedict Drew


Collaboration, playfulness and the structure of film are at the core of Hart and Drew's series of new works.

Alexander Heim


Heim addresses intrusions into urban life where animals, processes and chance routines create self-sustaining pockets of otherness.

Iain Hetherington


Hetherington's paintings are satirical portraits of 'cultural workers' and play on artistic conventions and on notions of political correctness.

Will Holder


Holder is an artist, designer and editor whose work investigates the gap between language and object.

Andrew Hunt


Writer and curator Hunt organises a special weekend event comprising of a series of actions, working with artists Blinderman, Eddy, Lees and MacKinven, to create a multi-layered project.

Anja Kirschner and David Panos

Thomas Kratz


Kratz works across different media, playing with the iconography of art in an often visceral manner.

Lorna Macintyre


Macintyre's practice combines photography and sculpture, drawing both on simple and formal processes and on the heady language of nineteenth-century Symbolism.

Alastair MacKinven


MacKinven's humour satirises the value systems of the art world, whilst wryly deflecting to a more corporeal practice of involuntary evaluation.

Ursula Mayer


Mayer's films consider the representation of women through the twin poles of classical Hollywood glamour and the Modernist avant-garde.

David Osbaldeston


Osbaldeston’s work is concerned with the production, positioning and reception of art.

Sarah Pierce


Pierce – who since 2003 has operated under the heading The Metropolitan Complex – works in a number of discursive formats, often incorporating the personal and the incidental.

Clunie Reid


Clunie Reid uses cheap material and gaffer tape to create aggressive and rampant photo-collages.

James Richards


Richards works with an archive of video footage that he scavenges and remixes.

Hannah Rickards


Rickards' work shifts between different modes of perception and representation - including the linguistic, the visual, the natural and the artificial.

Ben Rivers


Rivers’ films focus on lives led at one remove from society, commenting on the desire to achieve liberty through the simplification of lifestyle.

Giles Round


Round’s installations fuse modernist sculpture and design – and the trappings of bourgeois living – with the hedonism of music sub-cultures.

Stephen Sutcliffe


Sutcliffe’s video work combines romanticism with the hard-edge of media manipulation.

Tris Vonna-Michell


Vonna-Michell's performances and installations function as chapters within a non-linear story, combining personal myth with historical traces.
