NSA DOUBLE VISION
17TH OCTOBER 2009 - 10TH JANUARY 2010
NSA: Double Vision
Alessandra Ausenda, Jessica Cooper, Gareth Edwards, Bernard Irwin, John Keys, Jesse Leroy Smith, Ken Turner, Bren Unwin and Kate Walters
Double Vision is the result of nine collaborations that have been developed by NSA members with other professional artists and non-artists alike. Challenging the presumption of the sole artist working alone, the collaborators include musicians, surfers, academics, Touchgloves kick boxing club and Cornwall Libararies' Art Collection. Double Vision has enabled the artists to expand their current practice in a year long collaborative process.
Six of the projects are displayed for the duration of the exhibition. the other three will be running consecutively in the area at the rear of the main gallery.
There is a fold out brochure available (50p) which gives further information on all the projects, artists and a contextual essay on the collaborative process. For a text only PDF version, click HERE. For a colour copy of the exhibition invitation, click HERE.

Artists have compiled this document as a report on philosophical findings from the experience of 'Get In The Ring': as Art and Sport, it is a collaboration between Kick Boxing and the art of Drawing. This event took place from 17th to 24th of November 2009 at the Exchange Gallery, Penzance, Cornwall. The report explores an experimental approach to a new aesthetics on social and political aspects of perception whilst being aware of recent developments in documentation of Performance/Live Art on the internet and elsewhere. It also has a bearing on the aesthetics of phenomenology and should be of interest to artists, art students, philosophers and the sports world.
