London based French artist Nicolas Deshayes creates sculptures where industrial processes meet childlike intuitiveness, and historic relics converge with sci-fi to create otherworldly forms.
In recent reviews Deshayes has been recognised as a significant upcoming artist. Having graduated from Chelsea College of Art in 2005, Deshayes has exhibited in Berlin, France and London and Italy, forthcoming projects include a two month Arts Council fellowship to Africa and a nine month residency at the Chelsea College of Art foundry resulting in a commission for the Goodwood Sculpture Park.

The Battle of Forest Hills
December 14th - January 26th 2006
Moot presents two solo shows locked in battle with each other. "The Battle of Forest Hills" pits Gordon Dalton (Cardiff) against local hero S Mark Gubb (Nottingham) as culmination of a year of ongoing tussles and collaboration between the two artists.
Dalton and Gubb were introduced a year ago on 14 th December, with people thinking they were brothers. Despite a height difference of 2ft, they shared the same unfortunate haircut, clothes and similar tastes in art, cinema and music.
Despite only meeting three times in person, this has resulted in visits to Grizedale Arts to write a horror movie; a cataclysmic radio show featuring a Memphis preacher and a one-eyed bishop called Bedwyr Williams; a UK skateboarding/art tournament and a broken leg.
This honeymoon period is now over. Their friendship has come to an end. It is time to fight for the ownership of their ideas. 'The Battle of Forest Hills' refers to various areas of Nottingham, the sneaker wars between Adidas and Nike; the birthplace of the Ramones as well as continuing the great creative battles of recent times such as George Galloway vs Christopher Hitchens; Aerosmith vs Run DMC; Ninetendo vs Playstation and King Tubby vs Mad Professor.
Let battle commence. There can only be one.

Moot is proud to offer London based artist Jonty Lees his first solo exhibition and the opportunity to make new work which explores new themes and ideas specifically for Moot.
Lees creates work that is informed by cycles, geometry, impatience, boredom and 90's raving. Lees reveals and records natural rhythm, pattern and loops through a process of manipulating and combining devices, machines and familiar materials.
Recent works include; ' Velodrome ', a banked cycle track constructed at Newlyn Art Gallery, Cornwall; 'Skimming Stones', a video of an inverted clay pigeon trap skimming stones across a lake and ' Spiral Drawing' , a limited edition record that plays middle to edge mimicking the action and sound of the artist drawing a spiral.

Six Shows in Six Weeks emerged from a decision to change the way in which Moot had previously worked and explore an unfamiliar approach to forming gallery based exhibitions. Artwork from 23 UK artists was selected for inclusion in the project which formed a series of six five day group exhibitions over a six week period. Selections for each exhibition were not publicly announced until the evening before each opened. The size of the exhibition space was reduced and an office/library/study area was introduced to compliment the project.

After a four week residency at Stand Assembly Studios, Moot is pleased to announce Berndnaut Smilde’s first solo exhibition in the UK.
Interested in transitional spaces, Smilde’s new work challenges the relationship between the Moot gallery space and the Stand Assembly Studios by investigating the movement of materials, objects and people that travel in between the two spaces. Using imitation materials, Smilde creates spatial narratives in installation and sculpture which create parallels between reality and representation.
Berndnaut Smilde is an artist based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Recent exhibitions include; Re-iconisatie, Collectie Marcel, NP3, Groningen, NL; One; & the other painting, by Tim Chen Chuanxi, W139/basement, Amsterdam, NL; Focus & diversity, Frank Mohr Institute, Groningen, NL; Your Live Is Now A Little Shorter, My House Projects, Derby, UK; She gave her hands to callosity, with Jeroen Brouwer, Medium Gallery, Groningen, NL; More, Kunstvlaai 6, Amsterdam, NL
The Stupidest Thing Alive
November 15th - December 16th 2007
Jack Strange graduated from BA Fine Art at The Slade, London, earlier this year. After showing with Moot at Zoo Art Fair in October and exhibiting in "Took My Hands Off Your Eyes Too Soon" curated by Ryan Gander at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, New York, Moot are pleased to host the first solo exhibition of Jack Strange, ‘The Stupidest Thing Alive’.
From Hollywood actors to Turner Prize winners, casting stunt doubles to doubling your money, using the spinning beach ball of death to eating superheroes for breakfast, Jack Strange escapes the idea of self through confusion to reveal that perhaps pretending is the ultimate truth.
Moot will be commissioning Strange to create a series of new works for the exhibition including Hi, I'm Matthew Barney and Page of Batman .

It's not what we wanted but we'll settle
May 10th - June 8th 2008
Moot is pleased to announce the forthcoming solo exhibition by Sean Edwards in 'It's Not What We Wanted But We'll Settle'.This exhibition builds on Edwards' participation in Moot group exhibitions and the 'Moot Postcards Commissions 2007'
Working with sculpture, still and moving imagery, Sean Edwards uses a process of subtle adaptation and precise placement to realise potential of materials according to a deep-rooted aesthetic sensibility.
Responding to an inherent optimism that materials can become completed through gestural actions and restrained intervention, work is created that both exemplifies and satisfies sympathies towards surfaces, repetition and craftsmanship.
For this exhibition, Edwards' will be creating a new moving image work, 'Lap Steel' , examining the physical arrangements formed from the interplay between a musician and instrument, shot using 16mm film on location in Seattle, USA.
Recent exhibitions include ‘I am you’ and ‘I am you too’ with Giorgio Sadotti at Limoncello, London, ‘Took My Hands Off Your Eyes Too Soon’ curated by Ryan Gander at Tanya Bonakdar, NYC, ‘To be alert is to be decorative’, Ten Til Ten, Glasgow and Art:Concept, Paris, France (curated by Lindsey Hanlon).

‘The Long Take’ was a project where selected artists were invited to contribute artwork to create a previously undetermined document.
All work was faxed remotely by the artists and received by our gallery fax machine within a 3-week period. Work received printed directly onto a 30-meter paper roll, which was be left un-torn to form one continuous document, the length of which was determined by the amount of work sent by the artists.
The development of this document was available for public viewing in the gallery during opening times or by appointment.
View full document here.
To coincide with the final day of The Long Take, Moot hosted The Reading Room, a reading discussion group led by Jennie Syson as part of Hinterland (www.hinterlandprojects.com).
The group examined Stephen Perkins' text on 'Utopian Networks and Correspondence Identities', which looks at different forms of Mail Art, artists networks, communication, and propaganda. The event was puctuated with an accompanying slideshow of works relating to the text including images by Anna Banana, Pauline Smith, Ben Vautier and George Maciunas.
"The artist must realise also that he is part of a wider network, Ia Fête Permanente [Eternal Network] going on around him all the time in all parts of the world. We will advertise also, as alternative performances such things as private parties, weddings, divorces, lawcourts, funerals, factory works, trips around towns in buses, pro-Negro manifestations or anti-Vietnam ones, bars, churches, etc... " Robert Filliou, 1970.

Jonty Lees, Rachel Reupke, Petra Kleyn, Magali Reus.
Moot have been invited to curate a selection of films to be shown on the different screening formats on offer at the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham.
Glass Screen:
Jonty Lees.
Taking advantage of the duality of Broadway's glass screen, Cornwall based Lees will present the dip-tych 'Say Hello, Wave Good-bye'. Created whilst artist in residence at Tate St Ives in late 2007, 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' documents a black and white dot drawn on the wall on the studio and examines the capabilities of the zoom function of a video camera.
Bar Screen:
Rachel Reupke.
London based Reupke will be presenting the visually stunning yet subtly perturbing 'Now Wait For Last Year', created during, and in response to, an artists residency at 122A based in Wang Jing, close to Beijing's artistic centre, and initiated by artists Xu Zhongmin and Ye Yong Qing in 2006.
Small Screens:
Petra Kleyn.
Netherlands based Kleyn will be presenting her video "Swinging From a Lamppost", created whilst participating in "Sign to Eutopia", an artist residency program at Sign Gallery, Groningan. This was made as a response to the influence of Dutch city planning, and documents the artist using an oversized swing attached to a streetlight swinging over a main road.
Magali Reus.
Reus recently graduated with an MFA at Goldsmith's College of Art, London. Moot will present three films from Reus; 'Drifter', 'Cast' and 'Palm Prospect'. Bordering on the still image, Reus's films present serene and timeless sets in which characters occupy natural habitats set against corporate backdrops.
October 4th - November 2nd 2008
Tomas Chaffe lives and works in Nottingham. Having worked with Moot on a number of projects and group shows since 2006, including most recently The Long Take , this will form Chaffe's first solo show and Moot's first exhibition within it's new venue.
From the display of a miniature gallery encased in amber, Lithuanian Gold, 2008 , to the seamless installation of an additional gallery pillar within a group exhibition, Prop, 2007, the conception and production of Chaffe's work is defined by the physical situation and social engagement of the space in which it is presented.
Often through commissioning skilled labourers and craftspeople, works are created that are reductive and functional in appearance and that play upon the specifics of their end environment. Direct authorship over the work is often averted by the artist and frequently volunteers the audience to complete it such as in Temperature Rising , 2006 , where a digital thermometer was installed in a gallery wall displaying a fluctuating reading dependant on the number of visitors.
In this exhibition Moot are commissioning Chaffe to create an entirely new body of work that will significantly develop his current practice.
Nominated for Pilot:3 , 2007 and Beck's Futures , 2006 ; recent group exhibitions include: The Long Take, Moot , Nottingham ; The Store , Tulips & Roses , Vilnius, 2008; The Moment You Realise You Are Lost , Johann König, Berlin; Out Of Place , Angel Row Gallery, Nottingham; Prizewinners , Surface Gallery, Nottingham; Your Life Is Now A Little Shorter , Guildhall, Derby; Ariston , Moor Street St. Birmingham, 2007 and Just For One Day , Kadist Art Foundation , Paris, 2006.
Tomas Chaffe is also the co-founder of Via Vaudeville! with the artist Blue Firth, recent exhibitions as Via Vaudeville! include; Via Vaudeville!'s Folly , Wilford Village, Nottingham, 2008 (as part of a 2 year residency with Hinterland, www.hinterlandprojects.com); Extreme Crafts , CAC , Vilnius, Lithuania, 2007 ; May Event! , Nottingham, 2006 and The Trent Valley , Nottingham, 2006.

Production Still
November 23rd - December 21st 2008
Marking the final exhibition of 2008 in the new gallery space, Moot are pleased to invite London based project The Hex to stage an ambitious off-site show.
The Hex combines the efforts of artists Jason Dungan (USA) and Maria Zahle (DK), who commission artists to create new work that is temporarily installed in their apartment on the Pembury Estate, Hackney. Exhibitions are open to the public and lived amongst by Dungan and Zahle.
Using the context of their London apartment/exhibition space as a starting point, The Hex will be creating objects and interventions within the Moot space as a means of addressing the idea of an exhibition space within an exhibition space. To extend this idea further The Hex have invited London based artist Mike Cooter to make new work within the confines of their show.
Cooter’s mixed media installations often involve the presentation of artefacts and correspondence that relate to his epistemological investigations in relation to film & cinema, forensic science and human behaviour. For Production Still Cooter will be creating a body of new sculpture referencing a prop made for the film Cat People (Jacques Tourneur, 1942) and fragments from the outdoor sculptures at the estate of the late and self titled ‘Lord’ Timothy Dexter.
Cooter is represented by ZINGERpresents, Amsterdam, NL, and has recently shown in the Nought to Sixty programme at the ICA, London, UK; The Arts Gallery, London, UK (2008); The Showroom, London, UK (2007); ZINGERpresents (2007); Montanaberlin, Berlin, DE (2007).
Previous projects hosted by The Hex include; Vanessa Billy with Alex Heim and Carl June; Sam Porritt with Tom Chamberlain; Charlotte Thrane with Anthea Hamilton; Guy Rusha, and The Hex: A Retrospective at Limoncello, London, in July 2008.

Rotate was an exhibition programme held at the offices of the Contemporary Art Society in London, showcasing the work of artists, artist-run spaces and galleries who are attracting critical interest and acclaim nationally and internationally.
Recently selected as one of the top five upcoming galleries in 2008 by The Times, as well as one of ten upcoming galleries by The Independent, Nottingham-based MOOT is curated and maintained by artists Tom Godfrey, Tristan Hessing, Candice Jacobs and Matthew Jamieson and works with both emerging and established artists.
MOOT would like to thank g39, Cardiff, for their support.

June 22nd 2009
Moot will present a showreel of video work from previous and forthcoming Eastinternational exhibitors.
June 25th - July 19th 2009
Moot are pleased to present a solo exhibition of new commissioned work by London based artist Rachel Reupke.
Reupke's video works examine the mediation of experience through technology, employing a variety of delivery systems including cinematic special effects, webcams and camera obscura. Reupke's recent video, text and collage works have focused upon ideas of social positioning and taste as defined by popular media.
This exhibition will see Reupke building on new work created from her involvement in the Moot publication, The Long Take. Swing Gang combines sculptural displays with language sourced from commercial stock footage libraries. Acting as an experiment in set dressing for a future video production, this new installation describes common concerns such as age, sex, money, health and wellbeing arising from a search for footage featuring towels.
By examining how taste and trends are used to enforce particular ideas of social groupings, Swing Gang challenges the idea of these marketing images being communicative on a universal level, to suggest them perhaps meaningless to the individual.
Rachel Reupke's work has been widely exhibited internationally in galleries and film festivals. Recent exhibitions include 'The Politics in the Room ' , a moving image project created by the LUX Associate Artists Programme; 'The Long Take', Moot, Nottingham, UK; 'Zoo Art Fair 2008', Moot, The Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK; 'Cinema Sim', Instituto Itaú Cultural, Sao Paulo, Brazil; ' Zodiac 3000', International Project Space, Birmingham, UK; 'Come and Go: Fiction and Reality', Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Portugal and 'Pilot 3', London and Venice. Reupke is the recipient of this year's Bristol Mean Time residency, awarded by FLAMIN (Film London Artists' Moving Image Network) and Picture This.

All killer no filler
August 7th - August 30th 2009
Dan Ford examines the industry design aesthetics found in disparate pockets of visual culture such as knitting patterns, S&M magazines, sauna brochures and comic books. From this, motifs are taken and carefully reproduced and repeatedly layered to create painting, drawing and collaged works that expose the quality of their own medium against the artists sense of placement and appropriation. Dan Ford lives and works in Devon. All killer no filler is Ford's first solo exhibition and Moot are pleased to be commissioning a new body of work from the artist.
Recent exhibitions include; 'The Art Car Boot Fair', Brick Lane, London; 'Rotate: Moot', The Contemporary Art Society, London; 'Zoo Art Fair: Moot (2008)', Royal Academy, London; 'Best in Show', John Jones, London; 'The Juddykes', John Jones, London; 'I can't believe it is not butter', Surface Gallery, Nottingham; 'The Brotherhood of Subterranea', Kunstbunker, Nuremberg, Germany.
Manchester Contemporary
September 24th - 27th 2009
Moot will be presenting ADR by Alia Pathan at this years Manchester Contemporary.
In ADR Pathan uses the language of filmmaking and the production attributes inherent in video to self-consciously discuss the distinctions between art and cinema. The monologue pulls focus towards the authority of the speaker to interrogate the authenticity of their message.

Araby
September 18th - October 11th 2009
Having both previously appeared in Moot’s programme of exhibitions and events, Moot is pleased to bring together and commission new work for Araby, a two-person exhibition by London based artists Eloise Hawser and Andrew Palmer.
Eloise Hawser’s predominantly sculptural works are produced through a laboured process of combining and reworking often friable materials such as plaster and polyurethane with industrially fabricated elements and found objects. Hawser’s often figuratively proportioned works echo classical sensibilities through layers of abstraction according to Hawsers own sense of the constructed form. Born 1985, received a BFA from The Ruskin School of Art. Recent exhibitions include New Sculpture, Karsten Schubert, London; Contested Ground, 176, London and Eloise & Pablo, Wallis Gallery, London.
Andrew Palmer's typically smaller scale and densely layered paintings engage with an intuitive process of image making as private activity. Multi-dimensional space is materialised on the painted surface through feint structures and defined forms, whilst geometric abstractions and unknown archetypes present recurring motifs and symbols that fall in and out of view. Born 1979, received a BA from Falmouth College of Arts & MFA from Slade School of Art. Recent exhibitions include Innerer Klang, Rod Barton, London; Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle, Munich and Enter the Path, Timothy Taylor Gallery, London.

BAR VUG GUM
November 13th - December 13th 2009
For his exhibition at Moot, Mark Pearson has directed his macho brutalist caveman aesthetic to present new sculptures, collages and an installation called BAR VUG GUM, a DIY pseudo Bavarian vernacular structure with attached monster karaoke unit. Pearson will also be performing in his one fingered Tyrolean synth techno band, 'Yotota Rockola', on the opening night.
BAR VUG GUM is an unashamed result of tribalism, male bravado and cultural chauvinism. Pearson's work may seem like grotesque monuments of redundant empires and social territories, however it is also a reflection of the monstrous vitality of creative self genesis that revitalises meaning and affect through the absurd collision of this ideological language.
Moot have worked with Pearson on a number of projects in the past including DC Duesseldorf art fair, Germany (2007); Zoo Art Fair, London (2007/2008); 'Say Sorry for Not Making', Nottingham (2008) and Zoo Art Enterprises, London (2009).
Recent exhibitions include 'Open Space', Art Cologne, Solo Presentation with Galerie Reinhard Hauff, Cologne (2009); 'Disco Mystic', Galerie Reinhard Hauff, Stuttgart (2008); 'Ventriloquist', Timothy Taylor Gallery, London (2009).
Mark Pearson is represented by Galerie Reinhard Hauff, his work is in numerous private collections including the Saatchi collection and the Ludwig Forum, Aachen.
Pearson was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire. He studied at Chelsea College of Art and Goldsmiths College, London

In 2007 Moot produced the Moot Postcard Commissions where artists were asked to produce an artwork to adorn one of eight A5 postcards. Artist Sean Edwards was then asked to make a work that incorporated the reverse side of all the postcards assembled together. Artists involved : Sean Edwards, S Mark Gubb, Mark Harasimowicz, Andrew Palmer, Richard Paul, Mark Pearson, Lisa Ellen Riley and Elizabeth Rowe.
The Long Take was formed between July and August 2008 where 17 artists were invited to contribute work to a 30m continuous document via a fax machine.
