Bill Leslie works with sculpture, performance, film and photography and has shown work widely in the UK and in Europe, including The Barbican, The Royal Standard Liverpool, Arnolfini Bristol, Turner Contemporary, Margate and Centrum Berlin. He has worked in various educational settings including schools, galleries and art colleges and run participatory projects and workshops at institutions including Tate, Brighton Photo Fringe, The Royal Academy, and the Institute of Education. He is currently undertaking a PhD in Fine Art Practice at Kingston School of Art.

Jo Addison's sculptural studio practice draws on contemporary theories around making. In work which appears casual and speedily made, the legacy of a repetitive - and therefore, paradoxically, slow - process is disclosed. With the goal of loosening familiar objects and motifs from their bearings in everyday life, she remakes each sculpture numerous times, paring the work down each time to locate and condense its essence. She is represented by Tintype Gallery, where, most recently, she curated Work Work, a group show about the synthesis of teaching and making. Her collaborative research with Natasha Kidd explores learning as formthrough performance eventsdesigned to stage the act of learning beyond the constraints of academia.

Jo lives and works in London. She is joint Course Leader, BA Fine Art at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University.
