New body of work 'Slap- Stick and Slaughter' has been exhibited throughout the summer at

'The Fool' at Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, North East. 31st July - 19th September 

 ******************* Extended opening until Saturday 28th September ************************

 

This is Natasha's first moving image piece made whilst on residency with Clowns International this summer. The five minute piece 'Slap- Stick and Slaughter' documents the fortunes of the 'clown's union', Clowns International, and of its members.  She reveals one of the most bizarre group portraits ever made, and held by the organisation: an archive of hundreds of painted eggs, each with a member's trademark face make-up.

Special thanks to: Graham Treadwell, Jasmin Giles, Jess Hannan, Kali Hughes, Priyamvada Kulkarni, Ruth Chambers, Simone Wallace and Zoe Kinross.

Previous news:

Natasha's work in the Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art group show 'Invisible Adversaries' (which also included works by Xavier Cha, John Constable and Francisco de Goya) was reviewed in last months 'Art Review:'  

 

"Representation of men in the show are few. Natasha Caruana's photo series Married Man(2008) presents visual and aural documentation of the artist's meetings with men who solicited affairs on the internet, but the mens faces are cropped from the photos- all we are afforded are clues pointing to their taste in food and dress. Meanwhile sound recordings of the various dates are broadcast from speakers; spectral voices are all we have to identify them. It makes for complex work that shows both man and woman trading on anonymity to ensnare the other".
