Five2Watch: Transience


For #Five2Watch this week we've selected five artists who have made work about transience, featuring: Mizzonk Studio, Lucinda Burgess, Emily Speed, Amanda Whittle and Julieann Worrall Hood.


Nothing and Everything, 2015.

Mizzonk Studio

A temporary stillness cast in sand, however beautiful, might vanish in a swipe.

“Nothing and Everything” intends to illuminate that moment, a solitary moment to question if there is meaning in the impermanent nature of life.

Concrete Dreams, 2015.

Emily Speed

Digitally printed foil balloons.

This work was commissioned as part ofArt Across the City 2015 by LOCWS and was situated in the Brutalist Civic Centre. A huge cluster of helium balloons floats high up, each printed with a picture of the building, which they sit inside. As the temperature changes and passing visitors create shifts in the air, the balloons gently shimmer and dip around the atrium. Concrete Dreams both celebrates and laments the passing of its iconic, Brutalist architecture; the loss of an equally loved and maligned building and what the future holds. Over the duration of the work, the balloons slowly lost all of their air, dipping until the bunch was hanging totally upside down.
