Let’s visually facilitate a discussion around artistic autonomy.
New only:Only new is an exhibition exploring the organic world of process based work. Work that consecutively changes through chance, impulse, making and interaction.
The artwork here has intentional unpredictable elements.
To retract from the progression of artificial autonomy, we must celebrate what cannot be searched or generated. Not findable to exist and be called upon.
This exhibit invites the viewer to celebrate artwork that is brand new. Drawing, printing, painting, collaboration, performance, words or and media that hold no influence to this saturation of artificial outlooks.
Site specific work features heavily, with chance and gesture being the methods used to process an outcome. The space given here will also determine the outcome of the digital interactive work included. Your participation today, in one instance, will create an artwork in itself.
This exhibit is heavily influenced by the Fluxus movement and what it stands for.
Does process based work hold a new found importance in the age of AI in creative spaces?
AI has its place, but so do humans, sounds, mark making, chance and organic sequential work.
Artists involved understand the present and how important it is. Art has been taken back to it’s archaic roots by exploring how the hand can hold something and move. The importance of the sound you made only today. The repetitive and instinctive mark making of evidence of your daily routine.
What is your perception of process?
How we changed our preferences towards process based work with the discovery of automated artwork?

Chloë is a West Sussex based graduate of Fine art working alongside her practise as a Bespoke commission specialist in Artistry at Rolls Royce Motor cars. Having worked as a lead technician, teacher of art, within animation and public commissions to name a few, she brings knowledge and experience to new challenges.
Her daily life is a stark contrast to her internal need for chance within her studio space.
Her current and archival personal art practise always leans into drawing and its primary conversations around instinct, permanence and documentation.
Within her studio she celebrates experimental, traditional and sometimes sculptural methods of drawing that are often responses to found input.
