3D printing is everywhere. Watching television just this week I saw Will-i-am’s new music video Scream and Shout ft Britney Spears, which includes a section of the 3D printing in action, building a human face before the viewers’ eyes. With the media picking up on this exciting new method it is clear 3D printing is bursting onto the scene and is becoming ever more popular.
What’s more, Exeter is a centre for developing this 3D printing. Exeter Phoenix’s annual Digital Art Commission has partnered up with University of Exeter’s Centre for Additive layer Manufacturing (CALM) to bring...

Marie von Heyl Of Occasional Tables and Alternative Endings This exhibition of new work by Berlin based Marie von Heyl employs video, installation, drawing and text to explore an ongoing interest in domestic interiors and mundane objects that is central to her practice. Her work playfully dances around things, pointing at the unexpectedly beautiful, tracing the uncanny and tapping into the absurd. Often triggered by linguistic nitpicking, she aims to catch objects in the act of...
Tue 13 May 2014 - Sat 12 Jul 2014 A new, site specific, sculptural installation by Anne Deeming who designs and makes objects that look familiar and usable in some way – and yet are not. Her works exist as amalgamations of everyday utilitarian objects with features that can trigger multiple associations with something the viewer has used or seen before. She is interested in the areas of slippage between the familiar and foreign, domestic and industrial, the useful and useless. By examining the role that expectation and memory plays in our reading and understanding of objects, the pieces...

Elizabeth Jardine is a British artist who has recently relocated to Exeter from the South East. This new body of work explores the interplay of structural and architectural elements within a nebulous and ambiguous painterly landscape. Elizabeth’s work is concerned with the in-between-space, with limbo and wilderness. She oscillates between negotiating a balance and accepting a dichotomy, reconciling presence and absence, choice and chance, belonging and un-belonging. VENUE: EXETER PHOENIX CAFE BAR GALLERY
