Glass Exchange - Durham Cathedral and Ingleby Gallery
The Life of St. Bede
, Monster Chetwynd, March 2022, installed at Durham Cathedralphoto: David Wood
Monster Chetwynd and Katie Paterson were among the artists invited by a panel of artists and curators, convened by the National Glass Centre, to create a new glass work as part of Glass Exchange, showing at Durham Cathedral and Ingleby Gallery (Katie Paterson) until Sunday, September 11, 2022. For further details see the Sunderland Culture website.
Monster Chetwynd’s commission, The Life of St Bede, is sited in the timeless beauty of Durham Cathedral. Her work features four colourful and imaginative dioramas capturing key scenes from the life of St Bede. Chetwynd’s commission is on display in the Galilee Chapel at Durham Cathedral until Sunday, September 11 2022.
Part of Katie Paterson‘s work on Glass Exchange is also being shown in Durham Cathedral. She is delivering two inter-related projects which tell the story of earthly existence: a series of hand-blown hourglasses containing material from before the Sun existed; and a glass urn filled with a dust that spans billions of years including the evolution of humankind over the last few millennia.
Requiem will be exhibited at Ingleby Gallery in Edinburgh from Saturday, April 9 until Saturday, June 11 before being shown at National Glass Centre from Saturday, June 18, until Sunday, September 11, 2022.
A timepiece, from the series, The Moment, will be displayed at Durham Cathedral and National Glass Centre.

Indications of Guilt, pt.1 at South Kiosk London
Hanging uniforms - Indications of Guilt, pt.1 installation view at transmediale, Berlin, 2021.
, Maud Craigie, 2021Luca Girardini
Alumna Maud Craigie is showing Indications of Guilt, pt.1 at South Kiosk London, Unit DG.1
Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, London SE15 3SN, from 18 March - 10 April 2022 (Friday - Sunday, noon - 6pm, and by appointment. Film screens on the hour).
Indications of Guilt, pt.1 by Maud Craigie examines the structures of American police interrogation and their relationship to fictional screen representations of law enforcement.
In 2017, Craigie travelled to Texas to train in America’s widely used form of psychological interrogation. The techniques used have faced scrutiny in recent years due to high false confession rates. This training provided the raw material for a new body of work, centred around a single channel film. The work combines staged and documentary methods to explore how psychological interrogation can function as a process for creating fiction, whilst apparently seeking to establish truth.
Research for this project was funded by the Boise travel scholarship from the Slade during Maud's postgraduate studies.
