Bethan Lloyd Worthington and Sarah Riseborough
Work resulting from residencies at Street House Excavations, Loftus, North Yorkshire

Bethan’s work for The Reveal is an investigation of the small, defined, but interconnected dig territory in terms of human and geological time. Bethan spent two and a half weeks with archaeologists and volunteers, walking in from Staithes most days. Pieces record specific details within and around the Street House site - Heather recolonising the alum mines and cliff tops; An incongruous boulder; A cut in the ground, proof of Romans; A tree, near a spring, where there was a farm, on former borderland, where gallows swung upon a tumulus. The light passing, the wind rocking the portakabin. It’s an attempt to communicate the experience of spending time with people who point at things that aren’t there and talk about them as though they are.

At Kirkleatham Museum prints, objects and film by the artists sit alongside finds. At Saltburn School, a larger collection of drawings, photography and installation span two rooms and coincide with the launch of Saltburn School’s new Class 1 gallery.

With thanks to archaeologist Stephen Sherlock, Arts Council England, Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council and Rednile’s Factory Nights.

BEARSPACE presents Paper Thin, a group exhibition bringing together a wide selection of exciting young artists working with the medium of paper. Each artist subverts, subtracts and sensationalises paper in their practice, playing with the surface of a thin but powerful element intrinsic to the history of art.

19th September – 14th October 2012, Wednesday – Sunday

2 Willow Road, Hampstead Heath

Red House, Bexleyheath

Manifold explore the homes of two giants of architecture, art and design. William Morris and Ernö Goldfinger made places for themselves embodying their distinct values. We have responded with parallel site-specific exhibitions that examine the material and contextual situation of Red House and 2 Willow Road.

Individual and collaborative works explore these two National Trust properties through new design, image, sculpture and audio intervention. The exhibitions span both London Design Festival and Frieze Week – a reflection of the varied sensibilities within the group.

At Willow Road we have also curated an evening event with cocktails specially mixed by Jensens Bermondsey Gin; a night of music, food, film and performance in homage to the Goldfingers’ somewhat notorious soirees.

William Morris and Ernö Goldfinger created homes for themselves that embody their distinct values – how they thought we should live. Their houses speak of wider ideological and cultural movements through the intimacy of the home, coloured by the time capsule-like conservation environment.

This project, Manifold’s first group show, has been a catalyst for us to experiment with unfamiliar materials and techniques. Our multi-disciplinary responses to the two men, their ideas and these buildings reveal a broad range of personal perspectives within art and design.

Bethan has now returned from her residency – the time at the excavations was rich and productive. New work and information on forthcoming exhibitions will follow soon.

Wednesday 19 September – Sunday 14 October 2012
Late event at 2 Willow Road Thursday 27 September 2012

Manifold are pleased to announce that we have been invited by the National Trust to explore the homes of two very different, but equally significant characters in the history of architecture, art and design: The Red House, Bexleyheath – the home of William Morris, and 2 Willow Road, Hampstead – the home of Ernö Goldfinger.

Friday 25 May 2012
18.30–22.00

Bethan will be leading short surface imagery workshops in the Sackler Centre as part of V&A Friday Late: Dinner Is Served. Play with pictures taken from around the Museum to create your own artwork for a dish – three winners will be chosen at the end of the night to have their design fired on to bone china.

Further information here.

Jerwood writer in residence Chris Fite-Wassilak has written a lovely profile on Bethan’s work for the JVA Blog. The Jerwood Drawing Prize 2011 continues to tour, it will be at The Lanchester Gallery in Coventry from 1 – 31st March 2012 and then moves on to The Burton Art Gallery & Museum from 28 April – 11 June 2012

Bethan’s Wild Place service is on show as part of the exhibition QEST Crafting Excellence at Fortnum & Mason. The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust awards scholarships to aid the study of traditional crafts and the work of 32 past scholars is displayed on the first floor of the Piccadilly store. The exhibition runs from 6th February – 29th July 2012.

To mark Manifold’s first anniversary Teleri Lloyd-Jones has written a lovely feature on our studio for Crafts magazine. You can read it here.

In late summer 2012, Bethan will undertake a residency at Street House Excavations in Loftus, North East Yorkshire, alongside archaeologist Stephen Sherlock and his team. The cliff-top field has so far yielded extensive remains – from neolithic quern stones to a saxon female bed burial – and is a site of national importance. Bethan will be working alongside the archaeologists, responding to the site, finds and processes.

The residency came about through Rednile’s Factory Nights - Carefully encouraged accidents.

Bethan has been taken on by Bearspace in Deptford. Selected works will be available through the gallery throughout 2012 and news of an exhibition will follow soon.

Bethan’s work has been included in the latest issue of HESA inprint, the bilingual Finnish/English art publication. This month’s theme is Botany – Kasvitiede. You can read it online now and support HESA inprint by buying the printed matter.

Bethan has been selected  for Town Hall Artworks: Artists Commissions 2012.

Since 2009 Artsadmin has worked with Town Hall Hotel & Apartments, a five star hotel in Bethnal Green’s Grade II-listed Old Town Hall building, to commission a major series of artworks by local artists. The second phase of artworks will be installed between November 2011 and April 2012.

Whereas the inaugural series of commissions focused on context, locality and history, the second phase will thematically explore works that convey the future, embracing exuberance, desire (material and sensual), and the notion of hotels as transitory and utopian sites of pleasure and hyper-mobility.

Bethan will create a smashed-porcelain and brass sculpture called Constellation for the De Montford Suite and a glass piece spanning several fire doors on the 2nd floor called A Pace or Two Ahead of Us.

Read more about the commissions here.

30 September – 13 November 2011

1 October – 15 November 2011

Wem Town Hall, Shropshire

Bethan was recently invited to make a postcard sized work for this exhibition, which coincides with The Big Draw. Artists from across Europe were asked to convey something real about the place they live and work. Alongside the exhibition, the responses will be made in to a book to be distributed in independent bookshops across the EU. Read more here.

We’ve been busy. To read about Manifold’s recent activities, click here.

14 September – 30 October 2011

Bethan has been selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2011 exhibition.

The Jerwood Drawing Prize is the largest and longest running annual open exhibition for drawing in the UK. Judged by an independent panel of selectors, the Prize aims to recognise and support all UK based artists, from student to established, working in the field of drawing.

From a submission of 3,500 entries, the 2011 selectors, Iwona Blazwick, Director, Whitechapel Gallery; Tim Marlow, writer, broadcaster and Director of Exhibitions, White Cube; and Rachel Whiteread, artist, have brought together 70 drawings that represent and celebrate the diversity, excellence and range of current drawing practice in the UK.

The exhibition will open at the Jerwood Space in September, before touring nationally. More details coming soon.

In early 2011, Bethan was invited by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 to create a hand painted bone china plate for Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as he stepped down as President. The design incorporates an archival image of the construction of the Crystal Palace, balanced against some of the buildings that make up the contemporary ‘Albertopolis’ site. The plate was presented in June 2011.

Manifold is a group of nine artists and designers – 2010 MA graduates from the Royal College of Art.

Individually, Manifold’s activities span sculpture, installation, digital art, process-driven product design, drawing, research, teaching, collaboration and progressive approaches to age-old crafts such as glass-blowing, hand-built ceramics and enamel painting. These diverse and often disparate practices have grown up alongside each other within the studios at the RCA. Shared knowledge and the power of the group are the pillars of Manifold’s new HQ.

To celebrate the launch of our exciting venture we would love you to join us for a look around, food & drink and live music.

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a collaborative project with the photographer Noemie Goudal. We began with a trip to the almost tragi-comically bleak ex slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog and took it from there. With a shared fascination with wilderness and the marks of man, we’re creating an interplay between object and image. The first (and far from final) piece, entitled Bassin, will be exhibited at HotShoe Gallery in Clerkenwell, alongside Noemie’s Les Amants.
