Overstand (Postcolonial Sampler)

LUBOMIROV / ANGUS-HUGHES is a charitable organisation dedicated to contemporary curation. We see curators as localised experts in a global and increasingly complex contemporary art world. By engaging with all forms and levels of curation, we aim to present to the public a wider picture of art today. We also invite curatorial projects by artists, art critics, collectors, gallerists and other members of the art world, who both wield influence in the shaping of new art and have a uniquely valuable perspective on current and future state.We provide a venue for curators to present group exhibitions and to create dialogue about or through art. We aim to be a forward-looking place of opportunity and innovation, with an evolving and always different art programme, without bias or preference for trends, style, form or specific artists.As well as inviting curators to submit curatorial proposals, we accept and encourage enquiries from curators we have not worked with previously, as well as from artists who wish to curate, perhaps for the first time. All proposals are considered entirely on merit and potential.We provide free space, support, promotion, and installation assistance to successful applicants. As well as facilitation we also provide curatorial consultation as much, or as little as is needed by the curator, who sets the pace and is trusted and given free reign to realise their vision in the space.We also provide space for education and discussion, through regular talks and critical sessions. We open our doors to organisations or individuals who provide art education and feedback and the general public has free access to talks, screenings, performances and events which shed light on developments and directions in contemporary art.We also work with schools and universities, providing education and work experience to art students at sixth form, degree, or graduate level. We are increasingly engaging with local schools to organise exhibition visits, lectures and work experience. We are interested in hearing from local or national schools, youth groups, or other educational organisations about co-developing educational and practical experience opportunities.The LUBOMIROV / ANGUS-HUGHES CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY CURATION (LUBOMIROV / ANGUS-HUGHES) is a Registered Charity Number 1165645.

Studio 73 Gallery is proud to present Overstand (Postcolonial Sampler), a two-person exhibition featuring the work of established London-based artists Jaykoe and Neil Kenlock. 
 
Jaykoe and Kenlock have created a dynamic series of collaborative works for the exhibition, which coincides with Black History Month. Jaykoe has sampled and transposed a variety of images of life in Brixton before, during and after the 1981 riot – including original photographs taken by Neil Kenlock in the 1970s – to create a series of mixed media screen prints. The work forms part of Jaykoe’s research for his upcoming solo show, RADIX, which focuses on the UK riots in 2011. 
 
Kenlock was born in 1950 in Jamaica, moving to Brixton to join his parents in 1963. He went on to work as a staff photographer for one of the first black British newspapers, West Indian World. He spent his career documenting his local community, including the UK Black Panther movement. He later co-founded ROOT magazine in 1979, showcasing black British fashion, as well as Choice FM in 1990, London’s first legal radio station dedicated to black music. 
 
Kenlock’s work documents the history of civil rights struggles in London. His images of British Caribbean residents in Brixton in the late 1960s and ’70s form part of the exhibition at Studio 73, echoing his current display at Tate Britain “Stan Firm Inna Inglan”. He also captured unique images of Jamaican singer Bob Marley at one of his last UK performances in January 1977, at London’s Rainbow Theatre, shown here for the first time as original photographs and sampled to create new works by Jaykoe.
 
Jaykoe was born in London in 1978. His work encompasses a range of mixing and sampling processes that reference subcultural activities. With his background as a soundsystem DJ, he experiments with techniques used in audio sampling, translating them to the visual realm. He is also informed by the concept of pirate radio, through the notion of networked performances across global cities, constructing spaces of positive interaction between different groups and cultures. 
 
“I am delighted to collaborate with Jaykoe on this exhibition because our works, although they are from different eras, tell important stories about the same community. Overstand is about the people, the struggle and their influence on society.” Neil Kenlock
