Cashmore & Johnson at Rotherwas Munitions Factory in December.  We returned today to meet Nicola Goodwin of BBC Hereford and Worcester.  Really pleased that our first response to the site and the history of the Canary Girls might help raise awareness for the BBC’s campaign for official recognition of the Munitionettes who worked there.  More work in development….

Time to Shine

Dirty water, mop, bucket and documentary photography The Cashmore Johnson Art Collective Fringe Arts Bath/Divided By The Bath Water/44AD Art Space 23rd May 2015

The Cashmore Johnson Art Collective (Jenny Cashmore and Celia Johnson) is a collaborative, project and research based practice that explores site and community in relation to psychogeography and relational aesthetics. Making interventions and installations in response to the environment, the Collective provides a forum to focus on the female experience of place as well as exploring traditional female working practices.

For Divided by the Bath Water we have made a performative work informed by Bath’s history as a thermal Spa - using the local water as art material and cleaning as an artistic practice. In preparation for the opening of the show, we have cleaned the floor of gallery and are exhibiting our mops and bucket of dirty water alongside photographs documenting the performance.

Tomorrow at noon, we will be developing this idea and continuing the performance as part of a FAB Intervention, by cleaning the streets of Bath.

A catch up about our work and explorations at The Sidney Nolan Trust where we are on a MFA Residency, as well as talk about our current solo research, and individual practice.

18th June - Site visit (Splott Beach) .  Picnic. And weaving the deckchairs.

Remembering earlier decisions (for MFA show) - to make a postcard from Splott and to produce lettered rock (with postcard as label? and message in rock: with love from Splott/ A  Day at Splott Beach/ with love from Jenny and Celia.  Something like that anyway.)

So, Collective art practices now includes (along with air hockey and drinking tea in cafes), weaving, picnicking, afternoon naps (see further photos) and sunbathing.
