John Latham, 1921 - 2006, was born in Rhodesia, studeid at Chelsea Schhol of Art and taught at St. Martin's School of Art. He founded the Artists Placement Group (APG) in 1968 and his filmmaking began in 1960 with Unedited Material From Star but developed to embrace collaborative works with the Event Structure Research Group, abstract animation in the 1960's, and works made for television in the 1990's.

Britannica is concerned with information, in particular our ability to read and digest the knowledge stored in the multi-volume encyclopaedia is challenged by Latham's acceleration of time - his other major preoccupation - through film animation.

Samuel Fisher

Taxonomy

Blenheim Walk

19 October - 6 November

Leeds Artist Samuel Fisher studied architecture at the University of Cambridge and his primary interest lies in architecture being commoditised for investment vehicles reducing buildings to the lowest common denominator; homogenous spaces of consumption, production or transit. Partly inspired by the geometries of Islamic art, his photoconstructed works capture stages of construction that act as brief moments of redemption before the buildings relapse into a mundane state for the remainder of their lives. Other work focuses upon abandoned buildings from the mid twentieth century and low-technology represented as a form of heightened beauty.

Kelly Cumberland

Apoptosis Verto

The Atrium Gallery, St James's University Hospital

29 September 2009 - 6 January 2010

Kelly Cumberland's work explores the change and removal, growth and deterioration of the life and nature of a virus. Installations and objects demonstrate how something seemingly delicate and insubstantial can overwhelm its environment; whilst dissested drawings, cloth and paper works represent the paradoxical fragility and strength of microbiological and electronic structures.

Currently working with the Haematological Malignancy Diagnostic Service (HMDS) at St James Hospital in Leeds, she has been investigating Programmed Cell Death, which is one of the most important biological processes. These complex scientific ideas will be communicated through an 11 metre wall drawing in the Atrium Gallery, Bexley Wing, St James's University Hospital, Leeds.
