P.A.S.T. Projects Have Moved.

Having intended to document The Woodmill on their Neckinger site The P.A.S.T. Projects Library and Archive has now closed along with The Woodmill's inaugural incarnation.

P.A.S.T. Projects, however, are still active and have been working on various projects including a collaboration with Jorge De la Garza for his recent exhibition at First Floor Projects, a piece for the upcoming issue of Baston Blanco and a Hi-Teen Carnival in collaboration with Gandt for their series of events at And/Or Bureau.

At present we are working on our new website and some upcoming collaborations. Watch this space.

The Woodmill S.A.G.S: 'May God Bless Her And All Who Sailed in Her'

The Studio Artist Group Show will see all parts of the Woodmill complex thrown open to the public, as we mount a celebratory exhibition featuring 90 of our Woodmill studio artist community. In addition to the permanent gallery spaces, the exhibition will spread to take over normally private communal areas, studios and other miscellany to be incorporated and adapted for this chorus finale. The exhibition will provide an insight into the life of the Woodmill project, reveal the breadth of work produced in the studios over the last 18 months, and create a fitting send-off for a vessel that has served us honorably.

Perverted Minimalism Nr. 3 (18 March 2011 – 27 March 2011)

Claudia Djarbbari, Hedwig Eberle, Anna Friedel and Franka Kaßner.

Woodmill studio artist Claudia Djabbari presents the third installment of Perverted Minimalism; a touring group exhibition in collaboration with German artists Hedwig Eberle, Anna Friedel and Franka Kaßner.

Having graduated together in 2006 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich Perverted Minimalism reunites these four artists for a series of exhibitions held in Düsseldorf, London, Munich and Leipzig; the cities in which they now reside.

Possessing a shared interest in the conflict between collective and individual consciousness, Perverted Minimalism presents work that investigates political and social structures in conjunction with formal concerns.

Working across painting, sculpture, video and installation the artists reconfigure and add to the work included with each leg of the series creating a flexible and increasingly more complex installation that contradicts their reductive practices

Posters from the previous two installments of Perverted Minimalism.

An article by Michael Barre from Kaleidescope issue 4 and books selected by the artists.

Nicolas Party presents a new co-operative exhibition in collaboration with assembled Woodmill studio artists, as a culmination to his New Work Scotland residency at Studio Voltaire.

Featuring works by: Alastair Frazer, Angharad Williams, Anna Baker, Ben Burgis, Blue Curry, Darren Harvey-Regan, Flore Nove-Josserand, Iva Kontic, Joey Holder, Ksenia Pedan, Philip Ewe, Richard Sides, Stuart Bailes, Stuart Middleton, Tim Devas, Toby Huddlestone, Trevor Kiernander.

in partnership with Collective Gallery, Edinburgh

Neil Clements' Bad History (15 January 2011 – 13 February 2011)

Glasgow based artist Neil Clements' presents Bad History (15 January 2011 – 13 February 2011), an exhibition of new work of sculpture, sound and photography created for the Woodmill hangar space. Continuing a long- term investigation into the sustainability of minimal abstraction, Clement's process recontextualises formalist artmaking of the 1960's and 70's with contemporary and historical forms of cultural production. Clements has compiled the following list of books, which acted as reference material for the exhibition, to be displayed in the P.A.S.T. Projects Library for the duration of the exhibition; Kustom Kulture (Laguna Art Museum), Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by (Stephen Levy), The Past is a Foreign Country (David Lowenthal) and The Ferus Gallery: A Place to Begin (Kristine McKenna).
The exhibition is kindly supported by:
