Alt MFA at
Burlington Gardens Festival
Saturday 2nd
July.
Stall active from 12 – 6pm
Works from 2pm – 5pm
Alt MFA (Alternative Masters
of Fine Art) will be looking at collectivity as family, with Alt MFA members
collaborating with each other, their family members, and looking at the connections
between us, at this time when the RA are connecting their two buildings.
Based on a mind mapping
exercise developed at Yinka Shonibare’s Guest Projects space, AltMFA will host
a stall, with different works spiralling off into the festival. Timed
performances and happenings will lead you across the festival to re-imagine the
site through Alt MFA’s participative artworks.
Shinji Toya. Exploring his memory
of his father and East Asian identity, Shinji hosts visits to view his
online-accessed digital landscape that relates to the site of Burlington
Gardens.
Anousha
Payne Using
clay, Anousha makes quick and playful works in response to the site and themes
of the festival. These will also have a digital life, as the downloadable 3D
models of each work are available online.
Amy Leung will be making work in collaboration with her mother;
live printing from a dead tree felled in their garden. Wood-printed postcards, inspired by Shonibare's patterns, will be distributed at the AltMFA stall
throughout the day.
Johanna Bolton Read your future with elastic
bands- how far can you stretch your mind?
Sadie Edginton re-imagines AltMFA as an art collective from 100
years ago, creating Dada inspired costumes. Working from sketches from her
Mother, foldout paper geometric costumes will be printed and activated by other
AltMFA members and the public.
Nathania
Hartley. Tap into the city with
Nathania Hartley on a group art walk around the surrounding streets– bring a
few pennies if you would like to make temporary tap shoes! Meet at the AltMFA
stall at 2pm & 4pm.
