Dave
Stephens’ recent work has dealt
with installation sculpture. The materials tend
to be fragile e.g. clothing, rope, wool. Each
piece is made either specifically for the exhibition
space or for recording. This recording takes the
form of photography or film. These records become
either independent pieces within themselves or
become embroiled in later incarnations of the
sculpture. Recent work has been influenced by
nest building, knots and anchorage. Inanimate
objects become entwined in complex linear forms,
taking on abstract forms within figurative preconceptions.
Recent presentations of his work have been at
Baltic Art Gallery, Gateshead, Hereford Museum,
Wednesbury Museum and Alfred East Art Centre,
Kettering. |

Steve
Beresford is a musician and improviser
who continues to push forward the boundaries of
expression and composition within the field of
contemporary music. He has worked extensively
with sound for film and television as well as
being involved in numerous projects since the
early 70’s in collaborations with an impressive
number of other musicians such as Lol Coxhill,
John Zorn, David Toop and Han Bennink. His work
with the London Improvisors Orchestra and the
Dedication Orchestra has been recognised as a
key influence within the success of these enterprises.
