CHRISSSYBOY
Chrisssyboy, an androgynous Peter Pan, bluntly
questions the audience on their own fantasies,
phobias, fears and frustrations by manipulating,
torturing, mutilating and objectifying his own body
and soul...The vulgar and artificial staging refuses
to deceive the audience and rejects naturalism and
realism: a DIY theatre where imperfection (dust,
stains, and apparent cut outs) is celebrated. No one
will escape these huis clos, this limbo where a
sparkle of light does not bring hope but a greater
threat.
Chrisssyboy is an artist who lives in London
in search of more stories to uncover.

IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES is Steve Rushton's fifth
show of work in the last three years. Steve has
always been fascinated by food, and the traces it
leaves. 'This is Shit', his last show at the
Foundry, used text on walls and monitors to look at
the poetics of excrement.
IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES focuses on pre-digestive
remains, stains of food on paper plates burned and
in other ways manipulated to make them more
beautiful.
IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES are presented in this
exhibition - for their beauty and for the
transformative act they represent.
I01 burnt paper plates
a magic number a magic act
to make a paper plate art
to take it away from a knife and fork
IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES celebrates what we leave
behind; like the celebrations of art and religion
they are evidence of our history, albeit in
scatological miniature.
STEVE RUSHTON studied art at Kingston Polytechnic
in the early 1980's. He then worked as an artist and
exhibited regularly until 1993, stopped, studied and
taught art history for 10 years, then started again.

GAELLE BERI
Gaelle Beri's charismatic work captures the emotions
and memories of the rock experience. It sucks the
stark magnetism of its musical subject through the
lenses and then delivers it into the iconic images,
to entrap the beauty of the last years' rock'n'roll
moments.

THE HARD SHOULDER
London from the point of view of a Lorry Driver with
a given higher perspective of the city, the road and
time.
All possibilities are random and pictures flow past
the windscreen like a cinema.
"The hard shoulder" exhibition at the Foundry from
27th November the product of five years driving
lorries in and around London and photographs and
drawing.
There are around 70 photographs ( super A3) that
work individually or collectively in various
multiples, triptychs and diptychs etc.
The drawings are large 4'x4' - 6'x4' etc - though I
like to turn them back into photographs themselves.
