goodbye space HELLO SPACES!

Well, we're sorry it has been so long without an update to the blog.

I'm sure you are all excited about seeing the pictures from

our final show! The delay is down to the fact our blog is actually

back to front, with regards to acting as a record for showing

all we did with Rhys & Hannah Present over Jan -Dec 2008, so

we are working on website which will give a much simpler and

comprehensive list of our shows and the artists we worked with.

We do have a few snaps, mostly of people eating The Royal
Standard's art food, inside the picture below...so click on it.

Watch this space.

Window 1 + 2

For pics of Oliver Sutherland's tischtennis installation, click
the man with the Big Issue hi-vis and you will be transported
into his body and be given his eyes.


For pics of Rob Chervasse's arctic blast installation, click
the man stuck in the storm.


For pictures of people enjoying them selves at the two
private views, click the men with ironic facial hair.

goodbye space HELLO SPACES!

It seems like only yesterday I was stood back watching as
Hannah swept away years of pigeon poop, but, sadly, our
time at 15 The Arcade has come to an end. We thought
we'd go out with a bang, though, and end with something
that etches the artist-led ethos deep!

So, as, come the end of December, our artist-led space is no
more, we're hosting projects from artist-led
Blackpool Museum of Contemporary Art, Eastside Projects
(Birmingham) and Royal Standard (Liverpool), with
an accompanying fanzine publication with contributions from
all of the above, Form Content (London), Moot (Nottingham),
Outpost (Norwich),and S1 (Sheffield) with an introductory piece
by Marie-Anne Macquay, curator of Spike Island, Bristol.

There will be alot of representatives from the various spaces
so make sure you come and pick their brians. And see art.

SEE YOU THERE!

Private View: Friday 12th December 7-9pm
Open: Saturday 13th December - Sunday 14th December 12-6pm

Window Show update! It broke.

After 7 days of magic, Rob's installation has, we're affraid to
say, given up. For those who managed to see it last week, you'll
know that for a storm to last 7 days in a shop, something
was going to have to give. And it did. Sorry if anyone was
planning to see it this weekend, but pictures from both
Window installations will be up here very soon.

Window Show Artists have been selected!

Oliver Sutherland
Installation 1 Preview: Friday 21st November 7-9pm
(Saturday 22nd November - Monday 24th November 10am-6pm)

Installation 2: Preview: Friday 28th November 7-9pm

Rhys & Hannah Present…
Window




Window is an opportunity for artists to show at Rhys &
Hannah Present in November. Artists have the opportunity
to make an application to exhibit using the large window
on our ground floor, with special attention being placed
on the artwork being viewed, solely, from the outside. This
window faces the pedestrianised Arcade walkway in
Bristol’s Broadmead City Centre, an area that has up
150 000 weekly users.

We will be selecting two proposals for
installations/artworks from applicants that best meet
the potential of the large window and subsequent area
behind, and also engage with the high amount of potential
viewers. Applications for Window can be in any media and
must be received by email at 5pm Friday 7th of
November. Applications must include:

1. Up to 6 jpeg images of work/work in progress important
to your proposal (though please keep each image around
100-500kb to save our inbox)

2. A proposal of up to 500 words outlining how you’d
make best use of opportunity

3. A recent CV

Applicants will be selected throughout the week starting
Monday 10th of November.

The first show will open on Friday 21st November
and run until Monday 24th November

The second show will open on Friday 28th November
and run until Sunday 7th December

Dimensions are: 255cm x 190cm
