Mona Casey is an artist and curator who works both individually and collaboratively regularly exhibiting nationally and internationally. She works in a variety of media and explores ideas of the reproduction and disposability of art-works through photography, television, and the media. Mona is also Senior Lecturer in Digital Media and Printmaking at Birmingham Institute of Art & Design.
Adam Burton, Ryan McClelland, Maslen & Mehra, James Lander, Marina de Stacpoole, Florin Ungureanu, Stephen Felmingham, and Michael Cousin.
The Space Between, Surrounds Our Desire began as an online exhibition the remit of which was to curate a show from the huge representation of artists and their works on Axis. After looking through artistic profiles and images of art-work, Casey selected artists and very specific examples of their practice which loosely related to concepts around the political with respect to deterioration, destruction and decay. With one exception, she had never seen any of these artists work in the flesh and had no real comprehension of the physicality, materiality, scale or presentation of their work.
In the ongoing development of an increasingly diverse range of mediums with which to present work not originally produced for such forms we continue to experience the artwork through ever more intangible means such as Youtube, and websites. In an attempt to re-address and question the mode through which the original exhibition was chosen, these works are now presented in the format with which they were originally intended.
The Event 09 presents a second experience of the work and seeks to question curatorial choices based on a mediated presentation, in an attempt to explore the problem of the ‘value of the artwork’ as related to the specific medium through which it is shown. The revelation of the artworks to the curator will only occur as they are being installed.
