LOOK UP! with James Ashe

Posted on by studiogoodtime

James Ashe invites you to download his Belfast map and draw on the blank side what you see in your area, interesting features of the built environment that sometimes get overlooked. He is keen to see the world through your eyes and find out how you navigate space, and encourages contributions from D/deaf, disabled and neurodiverse people to share their maps and notations of the buildings they experience.

You’re invited to upload your drawings and share them on the LOOK UP! Facebook page or Instagram page. Your drawing will be exhibited and incorporated into a large printed map and included in the Accessing Architecture exhibition later in the year and will be free to take away during the exhibition (Covid permitting).

Artists of all ages are welcome to take part, using traditional drawing methods or digital, it’s all good! Please tag your drawing #lookupanddraw and add a short description of your image.

Plaster Casting Workshop with Model Citizen

Posted on by studiogoodtime

We had hoped to have people in the gallery to take part in a one-off plaster casting session with architect/maker John Donnelly of ‘Model Citizen’ but we can’t right now!

Sooo we thought we would bring the workshop to you! 

Register to take part in John’s workshop, and we will send you everything you will need to join us on Zoom. You will be sent all the ingredients needed to take part, apart from water and an old bowl. Each kit will be delivered in a cardboard box and your model will be made using a special non-toxic material that picks up a greater level of detail than standard gypsum. 

We are grateful for the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund in funding this programme.

Please Click below to register before the 25th of October 2020

Model making kit will be provided via post. Workshop will take place on Zoom.

Brian Kielt – Confessional

Posted on by info@universityofatypical.org

Titled Confessional, this solo exhibition features portraits and landscapes which combine found and original imagery. The shifting perspectives of these paintings prompts the viewer to – physically – take a position on these events, as we alter our stance to understand everything we are seeing and what it is trying to tell us.

Drawing on historical documents – particularly those from events of national and international shame such as genocide, war and famine – can teach us how to understand ourselves. Kielt weaves figures, objects and landscapes from these pictures into a painted tapestry alongside personal archive material: images of figures, objects and landscapes from his own life.

“FLESH control” Culture Night 2020

Posted on by studiogoodtime

The University of Atypical are delighted to premiere Flesh Control by Belfast based film maker Christopher McSherry as part of this year’s Culture Night Belfast 2020.

Somewhere in a forgotten, decrepit part of Northern Ireland, two exterminators need to fumigate the kitchen of an old granny flat before they can finally head home and enjoy the weekend. Simple enough, except they are both giant, humanoid, fully clothed, talking insects… but apart from that they’re both just your typical working class drones.
As featured in the “FrightFest 2020”

“FLESH control” Culture Night 2020 from University of Atypical on Vimeo.

This short is my end-of-year 2019 student film. I made it after going back to college as a mature student in Belfast. 
I wrote, directed, shot, edited and funded every part of it, alongside building the whole set with the help of my father.
Because I didn’t have a budget to make something that looked very professional, I embraced the low-fi, handmade look which lends the film a kind of theatrical quality. I had two days to make this film, one day to set it up and one day to shoot; one setting, and two characters. This film offers a bizarrely brief look at working class philosophy, coming to terms with your place in the world, and how – inevitably and no matter what you believe or who/what you are – we all still have a job to be getting on with.
