NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON
Gillian McIver and Studio75 present a vision of a magical world made of light, fantastical moving images playing over the walls and bricked up windows of a run down soon-to-be-demolished East London housing estate.
Housing estates often feature in film, especially British films, as a byword for social exclusion, poverty and dysfunctionally. NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON turns this trope on its head and sets the film inside a run down housing estate, with the moving images projected directly onto the exterior walls. And instead of being all about “social problems” NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON is all about fantasy, thrill, memory and desire.
NIGHT OF THE BLACK MOON features a show of intricate and stunning moving image work by a selection of artists:

Nazir Tanbouli had his first artistic experience in
his uncle Ibrahim's atelier. Nazir moved to the UK in 2002, and the
two have not seen one another since then. Now, from the 1st to the 5th
of April 2012 Ibrahim and Nazir Tanbouli will be resident at Studio75
; together they will recreate the same creative internment that they
used to have back in the days of Ibrahim's early career and Nazir's
early childhood.
Gillian McIver (video) and Nazir Tanbouli (drawings) took
Studio75 to Valencia Spain to artist-run space La Clincia Mundana. As
well, NAZIR did a wall painting THE BOMB SHELTER on the exterior wall of a Civil war era Bomb shelter.
Come and pull up a chair and spend a day reading in
the library! This is less an exhibition than a reading room, or a
looking-space for artist books. In this age of the digital download,
kindle and apps, the physical experience of the book is more vital
than ever. r

PROSPERO'S LIBRARY | 29.04 - 01.05 2011
“Prospero's Library” began as a project inspired by both the character of Prospero in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and the film Prospero's Books
by Peter Greenaway. Imagining Prospero's magical “library of
everything” was the starting point for an exhibition that is
ever-expanding and transforming, as different books and items are added
to it, and it magically manifests itself in different places on the
globe.
Flat Screens 01: Towers in the Sky Marcus Coates
Journey to the Lower World by Marcus Coates
"rip it up, mash it up, stick it up!" | 14-18 2011
An exhibition of contemporary collage, and a screening of
short film and video art. Creating art out of existing materials:
ripping it up, reassembling and remaking can be political, and it can
be poetic. "rip it up, mash it up, stick it up!" explores
many aspects of the artworks that come about as a result of the
process of re-assemblage, collaging, appropriation and remixing.

THE COCKFIGHT:
COMERFORD VS. TANBOULI | 17-20.03. 2011
In ancient Athens, the
painter Zeuxis and his contemporary Parrhasius staged a contest to
determine which of the two was the greater artist. When Zeuxis unveiled
his painting of grapes, they appeared so luscious and inviting that
birds flew down from the sky to peck at them. Zeuxis then asked
Parrhasius to pull aside the curtain from his painting, only for
Parrhasius to reveal the curtain itself was a painting. Zeuxis was
forced to concede defeat. Zeuxis is rumoured to have said: 'I have
deceived the birds, but Parrhasius has deceived Zeuxis.'
STONES AND SCISSORS

retelling.

Nazir Tanbouli (along with guest films by Glenn Ibbitson and Josh
Oppenheimer) present a selection of their moving image works.
THE DRAUGHTSMAN
18 - 20 .02 2011
An exhibition of contemporary graphic drawing by four
artists:Tom G. Adriani, Jonathan Comerford, Glenn Ibbitson and myself,
Nazir Tanbouli.
For the four of us, graphic drawing is the very
foundation of all of our artwork, I personally believe in graphic
drawing as the great medium of communication with the general public,
it's a very profound form of expression that deals with both spoken and
unspoken gestures and emotions, Graphic drawing is often looked down at
by many "establishments" who have got great interest in maintaining many
elitist notions in relation to art and culture
But I believe that Graphic drawing is the bread and
butter of creative communication. Therefore, this exhibition is an
introduction for a series of events which will include these artists and
many others in the near future.
