Through the experimental process of making\, I connect art\, design and architectural ideas to develop a critique of capitalism\, inclu ding urbanism\, consumerism and the educational system. I have noticed qui te a disturbing imbalance in the systems of value. We are so busy in our e veryday duties\, bombarded with advertisements via the Internet\, televisi on commercials\, or billboard posters that we are forgetting about simple\ , yet very important things in life and the fundamental values that really shape who we are. My aim is to create an artwork which can help the viewe r to get close to these values beyond capitalism. My sculptures are remini scent of objects\, dreams and emotions I had in my childhood. I carefully select these memories\, placing them back into my reality by transforming them into objects. I am interested in how we perceive and experience space as artwork.\n\nBeata Wrobel is based in Preston\, Lancashire. She graduat ed from a BA (hons) Art degree in 2017 at University of Central Lancashire and was selected as one of The North West’s Top art graduates in 2017 w ith the Double Negative.\n\nCallum Johnstone\n\nMy practice explores theme s of sustainability and the unimagined future. Living in a time of great u ncertainty\, I aim to question the structures and foundations on which we build our society\, and to reimagine them in an unfamiliar way. By challen ging the fundamental grounds of society\, I hope to present a way in which humanity can progress\, with less environmental and socio-political issue s. My work treads the line between art and design. With my focus being fix ated on finding a solution to a problem\, my work is as much art as it is a considered proposal for a resolution to an issue in society.\n\nCallum J ohnstone is based in Glasgow\, Scotland. Having graduated with a Fine Art BA Honours from Newcastle University in 2017\, Callum has gone on to be sh ortlisted for the Plymouth Contemporaries and the North East Young Sculpto r of the Year Award.\n\nCharlie Cook\n\nMy parents named me Charles but de cided to call me Charlie\, the idea being that when I grew up I may want t o take myself more seriously and thus have the option to go by Charles. At 24 I always thought I would be going by Charles\, however I have come to realise I don’t want to take myself more seriously. I’m not a Charles yet\; I’m still just a Charlie. The ramp holds ninety-eight rocket ballo ons trapped in just as many wooden pegs\, with a car tire suspended at the summit. A younger me used to shake trees and see how many leaves I could shake off- now I’m making ramps and seeing how many balloons I can make lift off.\n\nCharlie Cook currently lives and works in Manchester. He grad uated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2016 with a BA (Hons) in Sculpture . Charlies most recent exhibitions include They Had 4 Years at Generator p rojects\, Dundee and X at Blip Blip Blip\, leeds.\n\nMolly Mae Whawell\n\n Molly Mae Whawell graduated with a First Class Honours\, BA (Hons) in Fine Art from The Glasgow School of Art in 2016. The underlying concern of Wha well’s work is in the space between the material language of sculpture a nd embodied ways of knowing. The work invokes languages of the physical an d the visceral to tap into something fleeting\; that which is not easily u nderstood through written or spoken language. The work is realised through sculpture\, installation\, choreography\, performance\, text and film.\n\ nEXHIBITION SUPPORTED BY\n\nAnd Yet it Moves is kindly supported by Arts C ouncil England and the Henry Moore Institute.
