EDITORIAL


For December's Artist of the Month we've selected artist James William Murray who is based in Brighton. We talk to him about his artistic practice, influences and upcoming projects. 

We've recently made some films about two of our Vacant Spaces and how they're being put into use by artists and arts organisations. Coventry Artspace are currently occupying The Row in Coventry and have recently hosted part of the Coventry Biennial there. We hear about how the space is being used and also talk to our commissioned artists Mousethings. In our second film we meet Ian Latham who has set up a studio and gallery in one of our spaces in Doncaster.

For #Five2Watch this month we've selected five artists who have made work about transience, featuring: Mizzonk Studio, Lucinda Burgess, Emily Speed, Amanda Whittle and Julieann Worrall Hood.

In this month's Playlist we present a selection of videos that explore Proximity. Featuring: Laura Cooper, Tom Ireland, Charli Clark and Rebecca Glover.

New Art Highlights of the week includes Anna Morris, Miranda Boulton, Lucienne Cole and Lisa Pettibone.

We have more copies of our Social Works?: Open for sale. Social Works?: Open speaks to the precariousness of socially engaged practice during an extended period of government-led cuts to arts funding across the UK, and the continued importance of maintaining and supporting a critical voice within socially engaged art.Contributors include: Jen Delos Reyes, Kerry Morrison, R.M. Sánchez-Camus, Claire Mead, They Are Here, Harvey Dimond, Lauren Velvick, Les Monaghan and Joe Cotgrave. 

In our monthly What's On Guide we share events from our Axis Directory members that are happening in December.
