Islington Exhibits, produced by Rowan Arts with Cubitt Education, Holloway Neighbourhood Group and St. Luke’s Centre, is an initiative to unlock hidden venues in Islington and give artists and craft persons a space to display their work. Click here to find out more about Islington Exhibits.

It takes place on:

This year I will be participating by showing work in 4 venues across North Islington – full details here. Hope to see you at the open studio!

Papercrafts

July 5, 2011January 2, 2013 | Irma Irsara

The new updated Encylopedia of Techniques for Crafting with Paper, produced by Quarto Books and published by Search Press, is now out. The book contains examples of my work to illustrate the
paper pulp section.

Originally, the publisher asked to use work by both John and me, as the book also has a section on pop-ups. Sadly, for reasons beyond our control, this was not to be.

Encylopedia of Techniques for Crafting with Paper covers a number of paper techniques including origami, paper sculpting, bookbinding, papier mache and pulp and other techniques. and precise, step-by-step instructions are given to learn the basics of each craft. It could be described as an introduction for beginners and students on
basic art courses.

This is the second time that Quarto books has asked me for the use of my images. Previously, my work featured in the Papermaking Techniques Book by John Plowman.

Museums at Night

May 16, 2011January 2, 2013 | Irma Irsara

The London Canal Museum near Kings Cross joined with other museums throughout the European Union to celebrated Museums at Night on Saturday. As well as guided candle-lit tours, there was a wide range of works from different artists on show.

Hidden among the museum’s exhibits, the artworks took on a mysterious feel in the gloom of the candlelight. I choose to exhibit some free-hanging pulp works – it was really interesting to see the pieces in a different light and in such an unusual venue.

Quel elemento di sorpresa per un diverso modo di vedere opere d’arte nel buio a luci di candele mi ha fatto participare a questa serata di esposizioni d’arte nel Museo Storico dei Canali di Londra.

L’arte-installazione inizia con l’ossessione di un immagine che sboccia mentalmente, ritorna e ri-ritorna a ossessionarti nel tempo. Tutto il processo dell’opera diventa un installazione.

Affordable Art Fair

October 5, 2010January 2, 2013 | Irma Irsara

The Affordable Art Fair takes place, as usual, in Battersea Park and runs from Thursday 21 – Sunday 24 October.

The AAF, which was started ten years ago, is a fine art fair promoting original art, and is for galleries and dealers rather than individual artists. It’s aim is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone, and is the leading showcase in the UK for contemporary art under £3,000.

I’m being represented at this year’s fair by Print Europe, run by Irene Scheinmann. Make sure you visit them at Stand D3.
