Olympian Arts
Posted by: David Keech on 3rd Oct 2007 in Keechdesign News
David Keech is delighted to have become a trustee of Olympian Arts; an arts charity with a record of large-scale international projects and a particular specialisation in live and performance art, areas where fine art and contemporary theatre practice increasingly overlap.
Olympian Arts is registered charity no. 1034760
Patrons: Lady Marina Vaizey, Richard Hamilton, Sir Peter Blake RA, Tom Phillips CBE RA, Prof. Sir Christopher Frayling, Rector RCA, Bruce McLean, Peter Greenaway
Trustees: Matthew Andrews MA (RCA), David Keech MA (RCA), Fr Michael Day
Secretary: Robert Connolly MA (RCA)
Honorary Solicitor: Mark Stephens
As an arts charity with a remit to use spaces of interest in themselves to champion work that stretches classification, and artists who straddle categories, Olympian's projects have included:
Best View in Town (Observer Review)
Conceived during the property boom of the early nineties, to take art out of the gallery and into the city, Olympian's first show used the penthouse floors of Centre Point to make a private view public and show work by the well-known and the unknown.
Not the White Cubed...
Mating multimedia art with electronic multimedia in the former Saatchi HQ in MM2
Heavy Rock Tour...
Showing modern monolithic landscape sculpture from Scandinavia and Ireland across Sweden and at the Tower Bridge Millennium Site as Standing Stones
All the world's a Mall/Museum...
Putting together functional art with conceptual design as part of the British Council season in Stockholm and touring Britain with Free Radicals
Rates of Exchange...
Bringing Scandinavian performance and live art to Britain and Ireland at the ICA, the CCA, HTBA, the Dublin Fringe and the Liverpool Biennial, and taking British live art to Scandinavia
Model Development...
Currently operating not-for-profit studio space for artists at Tudor Grove in Hackney.
Ned&Shiva productions...
Part of the Art at the Arts programme. Ned&Shiva are a partnership of two US artists based in NY, Miami, and London working in video and still image projection. One of their specialities has been "drive-by projection", which combines the Banksyesque immediacy and shock tactics of social comment through graffiti and street art with the narrative values and cinematic associations of video art.
Olympian Arts are currently operating a visual arts programme (started Feb. 2007) at the Arts Theatre. It is designed to complement the theatre's policy of providing a venue in the West End for edgy and innovative work that serves both the cosmopolitan interests of a world city like London and the very large international community that London is home to. Art at the Arts will draw on the pool of international artistic talent drawn to London by its status as a world arts capital, and began with the Ned&Shiva event.
