| 2 - 22 December 2000 Documents: Adrift in Taste. | |
| The Design Council Archive presents Documents: an exhibition on the outcome of investigations in the Design Council Archive by the University of Brighton's artists in residence Marysia Lewandowska and Neil Cummings. | |
| The archive, housed at the University of Brighton, comprises a wide range of materials dominated by one of the largest photographic collections of industrial design in the world. This exhibition incorporates photographs and film, to demonstrate the state promotion of taste and consumerism, and introduces the artist's new website www.documents.org.uk and the launch of the "Documents" book. The supporting conference "The Artist in the Archive" (Sat 9 Dec 10.30- 6pm) explores the relationship between the archive and the practices of contemporary art. |

There is a catalogue available for the makeshift exhibition. Martin Creed: Text excerpts from the Guardian Monday 9 December 2001 p3 (Fiachra Gibbons - Arts correspondent) MartinCreed, the artist who "doesn't make art" because the world is already too cluttered with the stuff, last night won the Turner Prize and immediately set the glitterati guessing. Having made his name by crumpling bits of paper, would this 33-year-old son of Yorkshire now scrunch up the cheque? ... Creed's The Lights Going On and Off, an empty room in which the lights do just that, is the most minimal work ever to win the £20,000 prize, so minimal in fact that many of those who have seen it were unaware it was anything more than dodgy wiring.

| 6 - 24 March 2001 Collection Cabinets | |
| An
Accessible Archive (In the Foyer at University of Brighton) The works,
made by five Brighton based artists, are contained in the drawers

context can affect the perception of an object, especially in an environmental
sense. The Collection Cabinet looks at the changing values and meanings
of objects over time and examines their personal and public histories.

| 31 March - 22 April 2001 Brian Rice - Retrospective | |
| A
lifetime of painting and printmaking An exhibition spanning over 40
years of the artist's career including examples of work first shown
at the, now legendary, New Visions Centre Gallery in the 1960s. Also,
his late 60s work exhibited in Milan and Detroit, his prints which
are included in many important collections and a selection of more
recent work made in the 1980s and 1990s in his West Dorset studio
will also be shown. |
|
| His work during the last 16 years has in one way or another been concerned with archaeology. "Sometimes about the landscape and man's effect upon it, sometimes concerning actual objects which I have found or excavated, sometimes referring to the houses I've lived in, and sometimes the work has been about specific archaeological sites or objects which have some visual appeal for me". |
| More recently his paintings have dealt with the impressive rock engravings made by early man at sites such as the Boyne Valley in Ireland and Gavrinis in Brittany. "Using the simple but universal abstract symbols carved by Prehistoric Man on the stones of these tombs, I have developed my own alphabet of shapes which appear and reappear in my work." Closed 13th - 16th of April inclusive | |
| 26 April - 23 May 2001 Asian Art 2000 - A Vision of Change | |
| The University of Brighton is joining forces with the Federation of Asian Artists to create an exhibition to celebrate Asian Art as it focuses on the new millennium. The project includes the exhibition, a publication, visiting Asian Artists, artist's talks, and an education programme. | |
| Featuring
over thirty paintings by Asian artists from China, Hong Kong, Japan,
Korea, Malaysia, Macau, Singapore and Taiwan. Between two to four
artists from each country have been invited to submit one painting
for selection which will have been undertaken in the year 2000. They
will convey the artists' response to the arrival of the new millennium
in the context of their particular country and region. The work will
reflect the cultural, social, economic, political, religious and moral
changes the artists have seen and will especially look at how these
changes are affected by their own visions of their past, present and
future. This is an official 'Japan 2001' event. |

Art in JapanCurator Siumee Helen Keelan presents this mixed media
exhibition of innovative and contemporary work by eight leading artists
from Japan: Makoto Aida, Peter Bellars, BuBu, Takahiro Fujiwara, Hiroshi
Masuyama, Hiroko Okada, Yoshiko Shimada and Koji Tanada. Society in Japan today is in a state of flux following the rapid growth and contraction of a capitalist economy that encouraged the consumption of both luxury and carnal goods. The artists explore the complex network of relationships surrounding gender, sexuality and commerce. Using irony and wit, history and politics, they invite their audience to play and think in equal measure. Exhibition is organised by History of Art, Architecture and Design Department of the Design Faculty of Kingston University. Parental Guidance may be required due to the nature of this exhibition. |

| Manga: Short Comics from Modern Japan. | |
|
The Japan Foundation has comissioned a Japanese manga expert, Natsume Fusanosuke, to put together this showcase of Japanese short comics presenting one of Japan's longest and largest cultural phenomena. Although much influenced by Western comics, Japanese manga, which shares its style with traditional art such as scroll paintings, has made its own unique development. This exhibition allows visitors to read the actual dialogues in the drawing panels through the English translations provided. In European countries, Japanese manga has acquired a stereotype image of depicting violence. However this represents only one part of Japanese manga. On the contrary, the virtue of the art lies in the depiction of Japanese people's ordinary life and in its restrained psychological expression. This exhibition aims to shed a new light on the conventional image that Japanese manga has so far received. It contains 29 artists including Tezuka Osamu, a leading manga artist in post-war Japan (deceased). |
