Night buses by Hannah Wilmshurst
On Tuesday we showed Hannah Wilmhurst's Images of night buses at
Tsangs' Takeaway on Iffley Road
Below are the actual images by Hannah.
Hannah has such an eye for the right moment and these are just some of her images...

Tsangs' Takeaway on Iffley Road
To me this was a match made 'in heaven'.
For sometime now I have been fascinated by the expression of people in transit.
People seem resigned and just waiting to arrive a type of surrender to the circumstances
In Chinese Takeaway one can see a similar surrender whilst people wait to be fed,in a sense.
This sense of waiting is heightened by the fluorescent light that 'iluminates' such waiting.
Both I find have a sense of melancholy.
Hannah has such an eye for the right moment and these are just some of her images...

The deadline has now passed and we have had a great response.
Many thanks to all who got back to us wanting to be part of the Art TakeAway.
We will ,in due course, be getting back to all who got in touch.
At the moment though we are putting the menu together.
We believe the mix to be quite tasty and are looking forward to an interesting evening!
The space is limited and sadly so are the numbers of who can join us on the evening of the event.
In the week prior to the evening, the Menu will be exhibited in the TakeAway .
If you want to join us for the actual Art-TakeAway you can book tickets through the Oxford Playhouse Box-office.
Please be warned though that they are limited and selling.
On the evening you can choose if you want to acquire a work,
in which case you will be asked to fulfill the pledge associated to the work of your choice.
You don't have to though!
You can,on the evening, also be an 'audience member '-
The choice is your!
Open call for the Art Take-Away curated by ArtWash.
ArtWash is excited to be supported by the Oxford Playhouse Theatre on its new & improved production of the Art-TakeAway.
In 2009 ArtWash held a similar event, which was such a success that we have been invited to offer a new menu of art…
The idea behind the Art-TakeAway is one of seeing art as sustenance whilst at the same time questioning our overall attitude towards the immediacy of food as well as art and it’s consumption.
Open call for an Art- TakeAway. The work can be anything from a poem to a mini sculpture, as long as it fits inside a take-out container. (Dimensions 18cm x 10cm x 4.5cm)
Artists who are interested can send their outlines to ArtWash – artwash@gmail.com The Deadline for proposals is 18th April 2012. The Deadline for final entries is 30th April 2012.
The Art-TakeAway and how it works-
On 12th of June a working Chinese Take-out will be the venue for our Art Take away.
Prior to the event ArtWash will package the work that has been entered, into tinfoil trays.
ArtWash will photograph the work and compile a Chinese stile menu that will be uploaded to the web as well as displayed in the venue in the week leading up to the evening event.
On the evening of the event the venue will feel very much like a food Take-out.
*15 artists contribute an original piece of artwork that will be in a Take-out Tinfoil container. *This art is ‘for sale’ using the currency of a pledge. *The pledges will be set by the Artist in extension or response to their work and will need to be fulfilled on the night. (ArtWash will set the pledge, if the artist prefers) *’The customer’ can bid for the art they would like by fulfilling the pledge and completing the art exchange. *The evening will be curated/ MC’d by ArtWash..
Those who don’t wish to fulfil a pledge are present as supporting Audience
Sadly ArtWash is unable to offer a fee for the work entered. We will however cover P&P and offer exposure through www.ArtWash.co.uk as well as publicity through the Oxford Playhouse Theatre collaboration.
This is a one-off evening event with a 7-day exhibition in the Take-Away venue prior to the event.
About ArtWash- We are ‘Space-Jackers’ who started by showing work in a working Launderette in 2003. After over 60 events in this space we moved on to appropriate different everyday spaces that have a particular visual and architectural language, such as ‘Chinese take-out’ for example.
Looking forward to hearing from you-

ArtWash are interested in working with other artist led groups in the south-east area.
NETWORKING EVENT FOR ARTIST LED GROUPS IN THE SOUTH EAST REGION
Thursday 6th May 3.30 – 6.00pm, at OVADA Oxford, we will then walk round to Modern Art Oxford for First Thursday, to join Saad Qureshi and Matt Clark in conversation for School of Saatchi Revisited, 6.30pm
Are you a group of artists/activators who meet regularly to support the work of other artists, curate shows, develop projects and provide support to emerging practitioners? Is your group committed to promoting a wider dialogue and awareness of contemporary art, then this evening event is for you?
This event is a chance for artist led collectives, initiatives and co-operatives to get together to develop a dialogue and talk about their experiences. It is for any groups who support work in the visual arts digital media, performance or cross disciplinary arts.
More and more artists are finding that working as part of a group can enable skills sharing, focus and a structure to shape needs. Participation in an artist led group can be a force for change, good practice, audience engagement and empowerment in the art world.
The evening will include
Time to get to know each other, strengthen links and find out what we are doing
Time to network
To explore the challenges other groups and share strategies
To ask questions and draw on the pool of knowledge we might have in the region
Please email OVADA at info@ovada.org.uk to let us know if you wish to attend, providing the following information:
· The name of your group, how many are attending and your names
· Two things you would like to gain from the evening
· Any website information which will enable us to find out more about the work of your group. This information will be passed onto other groups in advance of the evening to enable them to find out more about your work
This networking event has been developed by OVADA and ArtWash
This event will take place at:
