Wakefield Artwalk: Wednesday 30 January 2013, 5-9pm

Studio A6, Westgate Studios, 55 Westgate, Wakefield, WF1 1BW

Everyone knows that all the best ideas for anything, ever, have been jotted down on beer mats first. Always seeking to be topical rather than typical, we want to make a valuable contribution to the endless public debate about our giddy drinking culture. Here is some culture about drinking. Know your limits. It is time to celebrate all that is good about having a tipple.

Add your contribution to the collection of over 1000 individually designed beermats from across the world, launched at Temporary Art Space in Halifax in 2009.

Presumed Curable by Rose Harries

A display of drawings taken from photographs of patients at Bethlem (Bedlam) Psychiatric hospital in the late 19th century. Patients of the institution were only admitted if they were deemed to be curable, however, most were discharged uncured and forgotten. The pictures show a snapshot of these forgotten people and raise the persistent questions linked to the hugely misunderstood and divisional issue of mental health.

The former Prince Albert in studio A6 at Westgate Studios is now white-walled, tidy and has become the latest incarnation of PEEP! gallery; an ongoing curatorial project since 2007. For each Wakefield Artwalk throughout 2012, PEEP! will be filled with art sent by the lovely people on Twitter.

Plus Open Studios

Westgate Studios Project Space, Westgate, Wakefield, WF1 1BW, UK

Preview: Wednesday 30th May 2012, 5-9pm (Wakefield Artwalk). Exhibition runs until 13th June 2012 by appointment.

Alice Bradshaw works with a wide range of media and processes involving the manipulation of everyday objects and materials. Mass-produced, anonymous objects are often rendered dysfunctional caricatures of themselves, addressing concepts of purpose and futility. Alice creates or accentuates subtleties, blurring distinctions between the absurd and the mundane, with the notion that the environment the work exists in becomes integral to the work itself.

Alice has exhibited internationally with recent solo exhibitions at screenspace in Melbourne and The Briggait in Glasgow and has participated in festivals such as FIVA (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Zooart (Cuneo, Italy), Abandon Normal Devices (Preston/Newcastle, UK), FILE (São Paulo, Brazil), FutureEverything Festival (Manchester, UK), Toronto Urban Film Festival (Canada), Portobello Film Festival (London, UK), Videoholica (Varna, Bulgaria) and Melbourne Digital Film Festival (Australia).

Alice also curates collaboratively and is founding director of the Museum of Contemporary Rubbish and University of Incidental Knowledge, co-founding director of Fundada Artists’ Film Festival and Contents May Vary and co-curator for Holmfirth Arts Festival. She currently shares studio A6 at Westgate Studios with Bob Milner where they run a programme of exhibitions, events and zines.

The University of Incidental Knowledge is a collaboration based on a higher education model, incorporating self-directed and peer-to-peer learning.

Incidental Knowledge is acquired by chance; through the process of doing something else such as a journey, a day job, a holiday, watching a film or overhearing a conversation. It is unexpected, unintentional, extraneous, random, accidental or found, discovered in connection with or resulting from a primary activity.
