Nineteen Jersey based artists respond to a selection of work by internationally renowned artists in this dynamic group show.

 

Artclash is inspired by the concept of a Soundclash, a radical musical event during which sound artists improvise in response to their fellow players to create situations that spark creativity by clashing or flowing sounds (vinyl records). 
For this dynamic exhibition CCA Galleries International has invited nineteen Jersey based artists, sculptors, poets and dancers and paired them with a selection of artwork(s). The responses can flow with the work or clash with it, bounce off it, interrogate it, delve deeper, respond conceptually, play with it as in the exquisite corpse drawing game or visually combine more than one work - anything but copy it!

Special Opening Saturday 14 December  10am - 2pm

Glen Perotte – Mount Kenya's Rooted Resilience

NovemBer 08 - December 06

 


In this new series of photographs Perotte explores the flora of Mount Kenya, Africa’s second highest mountain after Kilimanjaro and a uniquely special place. Mount Kenya is god’s mountain, a locus for the spiritual life of many of the ethnic tribes in the area who believe god came down from the sky to live on its peak amongst the clouds. The focus for Perotte is the astonishing plant life that manages to take root in this volcanic and harsh landscape of thin air and rocky terrain, sometimes by banding together and at other times finding a small niche to settle in alone. Strange, yet wonderfully captivating, these botanical wonders exhibit adaptations honed over millennia to survive the harsh mountain environment.

 

Glen Perotte is an international photographer who has worked in New York, London and is now based in Jersey. Perotte has shown at the Barbican London, The Association of Photographers Gallery and the Royal Photographic Society, Bristol. Glen returns to CCA Galleries International for his third solo exhibition with an exciting body of new work.

curiosity didnt kill the cat

Kay Le Seelleur Ara creates a strange wonderland with undertones populated by all manner of curious creatures; the familiar and the strange, the diabolic and the angelic, at once hilarious and tragic. These vibrant works are accompanied by quirky titles that can be witty, silly, naughty, thoughtful or edgy, sometimes referring to contemporary politics, histories of art, everyday occurrences or the people and animals that share Kay’s life.

 

Kay Le Seelleur Ara has exhibited at the Royal West Academy in Bristol, Bankside in London, Jersey Summer Exhibition at CCAI, won the JJ Fox twice and collaborated with her daughter Rachel Ara on an installation commissioned by the Barbican Centre in London. In 2023 Kay had her first solo exhibition at Art House Jersey and was selected for the Serendipity exhibition at CCAI.

Performed by Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes, produced by his longtime collaborator Guy Fletcher (who has edited the contributions into a 9 minute piece), the track features an unprecedented line-up of some of the greatest guitarists in history. 'Legendary' does not begin to cover it - David Gilmour to Ronnie Wood, Slash to Eric Clapton, Sting to Joan Armatrading, Bruce Springsteen to Pete Townshend, Nile Rodgers to Joan Jett, Brian May to Tony Iommi, Sam Fender and many more jaw dropping names.

And, in a great honour, the track opens with Jeff Beck's final recording. 

Roger Daltrey, Teenage Cancer Trust's Honorary Patron and co-founder of Teen Cancer America (with Pete Townshend), added harmonica, and Beatles icon Ringo Starr is on drums along with his son Zak Starkey, their two drum tracks switching from one to the other, revealing an unmistakable family style. Sting completes an extraordinary rhythm section on bass.

With artwork designed by Sir Peter Blake (The Beatles, The Who, Band Aid, Paul Weller etc), this release is a landmark in rock music history.
