Inchiostro’ will be creating an exhibition of work in 36 Lime Streets Gallery in July 2012, with the focus on collaboration and exchange, a key to the production and creation of new work. Connecting with Milan based Inchiostro, Theresa Easton , a studio member at 36 Lime street, is interested in building on past collaborations with the artist Marina Chiocchetta. A body of paper based worksare currently evolving between the two parties, expanding into a visual dialogue and narrative.
The artists are interested in transforming the Gallery space into a working studio with work-in-progress ideas being transformed into finished pieces during the Ouseburn Festival 2012, using a portable printing press and drawing equipment. Visitors to the gallery would be able to observe the collaboration process at first hand.

36 Lime Street Late Shows 2012
For one night only Theresa Easton spent the evening in the spacious corridor of Level 3 at 36 Lime street printing a series of Political Broadsides.
The evening was busy with visitors choosing their broadsides, literally hot off the press!
The discussion board went down well, with a lively debate ensuing between contributors.
There were some sad and despondent stories from those recently made jobless and those with direct connections to the austerity measure brought in by the government.
I plan to continue the debate and use the suggestions and discussions in a new artist book which i plan to send to the individuals concerned!

Louise Bradley and Helena Seget
The famous children’s book ‘The Owl Service’ by Alan Garner provides the theme for this collaborative project between fine artist Louise Bradley and porcelain designer Helena Seget. Louise’s graphics, full of mystery and allusion, match the sinuous forms of Helena’s hand-crafted plates to create a homage to the original owl ‘service’. In Garner’s book, published in 1967, and still a favourite, three young people discover some old plates with impressionistic patterns that come together to form designs of strange, symbolic owls, resurrecting a legendary ghost.
Both Louise Bradley and Helena Seget are based at 36 Lime Street Studios in Newcastle, which is also where the plates will be on display as part of the ‘In Cahoots’ exhibition during the Late Shows Event 2012.Louise will also be running a workshop creating 3-D paper owls.
Lee Turner runs Hole Editions, a collaborative printmaking workshop specializing in hand lithography from his studio on level 2 in 36 Lime Street. As part of ‘In Cahoots’ he is showing colour lithographs which have been produce closely with American artist David Leigh and our very own Lime Street based Paul Merrick. www.holeeditions.co.uk
