Scott Treleaven, ‘dog (simon)’, 2005, C-print, 29 x 19 inches
WITCHES: a new collection of drawings and portraits by original riot grrrl, filmmaker, and queercore zine queen, G.B. Jones. Featuring essays by Caroline Azar, Paul P., Leafshimmer, Jenna Danchuk, Blake Baron Ray, and Scott Treleaven – each exploring the history and heresy of witchcraft.
"… it has become easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine a different way of living in it. This is where the witch comes in. The question Jones’ drawings pose isn’t so much why witches are relevant now, as much as why they’ve never receded from humanity’s imagination. They live without recourse to orthodox beliefs; they exist free of nations and marketplaces; without sexual, gender, or age norms; in harmony with, and without fear of, the natural world. Constituting an incredible example of survival, in both their fictional and real incarnations, the witch’s persistence hinges on the radical simplicity of the threat they represent: a thriving deviant." – excerpt from What Witches Do by S. Treleaven

"…queer iconoclasts and renegades, the marriage of punk philosophy with activism. Positive aggression, action, sound and image." – MIX festival, 1997

A Garden Manifesto Edited by Olivia Laing and Richard Porter
❀What do gardens mean and how can they change the world? A Garden Manifesto gathers radical visions rooted in the earth from artists, writers, gardeners and activists, among them Lubaina Himid, Derek Jarman, Jamaica Kincaid, Ana Mendieta, Dan Pearson and Wolfgang Tillmans. It’s a seed box for an uncertain future, packed with anarchic dreams of Eden-making and humming with resistance to the colonial project of homogenisation and destruction. ❀ Featuring

La ricerca intrapresa da Scott Treleaven è indirizzata a scoprire e forzare il confine tra identità e alterità. Il lavoro di Treleaven vuole scoprire i limiti del corpo come simbolo unanimemente riconosciuto, liberandolo dai vincoli rappresentati dalla definizione del genere. Su questi presupposti si innesta una ricerca sui segni che contraddistinguono l’era della cosiddetta fine dell’ideologia. Treleaven non prova nessun rimpianto per la dissoluzione delle classi sociali e dei relativi codici simbolici, ma cerca piuttosto nuove combinazioni possibili tra le macerie della contemporaneità. In questo senso il collage si dimostra complementare alle sue esigenze investigative, non solo come medium, bensì come vero e proprio metodo. L’artista lavora inoltre sul film in super8 e la fotografia, seguendo come filo conduttore le modalità comportamentali ed espressive delle subculture giovanili. L’artista esplora i limiti dell’oggettività della rappresentazione del paesaggio urbano attraverso il medium del collage. Nel suo lavoro a Milano l’artista è partito da una ricognizione fotografica della città, sui quali è interve- nuto con tecniche diverse quali inchiostro, gouache o acquerello.
