JO Berry will be resident in the Oriel Canfas gallery, Cardiff, from July 11-18.

The gallery will separated be into three areas, a space for a film screening, a gallery area with paintings on display and a work space.

She has recently been using video to explore the idea of simulation in the media environment. By re-filming stock video clips, themes such as truth, authorship and power are starting to emerge, themes she continues to explore in her paintings. Some of this new video work will be on display.

The title 'Interference' refers to the artist using this residency as an opportunity to interfere with her usual working practice as a painter. She will be exploring the conceptual side of her work by using the Oriel Canfas gallery as a space to exhibit the physical process of her studio practice, how she sources images and the ideas behind them.

It also refers to the paintings she makes which use found images as starting points, these are often re-photographed and copied a number of times to include visual interference which then becomes part of the painting - forcing the viewer to see through some kind of barrier to find meaning.

The title is also a deliberate appropriation of the title of an ongoing series of exhibitions taking place in the gallery of Chapter Arts Centre, a large and popular arts centre very close to Oriel Canfas.

This 'copying' is a homage to the work of the artist Sturtevant whose work in the 1960's often took the form of reproductions of the work of other well-known artists of the time, such as Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp and Robert Rauschenberg.

Jo will also give a talk on Wednesday, July 15 at 7pm. To attend please book at eventbrite.co.uk.
