The Ollie & Lesa Show
Collaborative Exhibition and Event by Joanne Newman and Annelie Fawke for Artlicks Weekend 2019
'Love Tokens' - Annelie Fawke & Joanne Newman
“Throughout history, the lovers of artists stare silently and recline patiently in their artworks, held into position for eternity. Continuing their interest in hierarchies and friendship, ‘The Ollie & Lesa Show’ is the Diva turning the applause back to the band, bringing partners to the centre of the stage and inviting them to take a bow.”
To whom the flesh / My flesh / Still connects me
Invitation to create image to promote the project, and to create a piece of work for the group exhibition.

“To Whom The Flesh presents responses to queer poetry’s canon by contemporary visual artists and poets, reinterpreting and bringing the bookmark to burning life. The exhibition is part of Art Licks Weekend 2019. […]
This group show, curated by Inland Project at The Poetry Society, seeks to connect a range of voices and perspectives that all coalesce to present a complex, nuanced picture of the queer experience of love.”

The Darker Half: Last Feast / The Darker Half: Guising
collaborative research residency & exhibition, 126 Artist-Run Gallery, Galway
The Last Feast was a ‘retrospective’ of Triangular Brush shows and projects, exhibiting all our documentation, using projections and left-over posters and ephemera. The Darker Half, on Samhain evening was a ‘bonfire’ of the documentation, presenting our discussions and the process of moving on to the next stage; killing off Triangular Brush and creating a new ‘Guise’.

Barbara Brush Calendar
Barbara Brush Calendar by Triangular Brush - 2016
Collaborative publication, that was part documentation of previous Triangular Brush exhibitions / events / publications and, as a calendar for 2099, part ridiculous ambitious future planning. Currently useless but with potential energy, the year was divided between the three of us and pages enlarged and displayed for the launch event. With inspiration from the 2016 Annie Leibovitz Pirelli calendar, the titles for each individual page came out of discussions about what we hoped to be / might become, when we were working together on The Darker Half in Galway. The titles were hand screen-printed and used to wrap up the calendar when people bought them.
Joanne’s pages were of an imagined executive alter ego, photographed whilst stranded in an Irish hotel room, with documentation of previous work stuck on as post it notes and titles as upcoming calendar events.

Captain Stormfield
collaborative exhibition, Annelie Fawke & Joanne Newman

- All ceramic pieces by Annelie Fawke. Rugs & text by Joanne Newman
I was making rugs for art, but I had no other art to put on them at the time. Annelie was making ceramic drawings so I offered the rugs to Annelie. We decided to combine these in a collaborative exhibition. We talked about friendship and how showing art is more fun when you are helping each other. We constantly think about where the work will live, do we keep it, does it carry on existing afterwards or not.
- email & social media invite
The exhibition was a fantastical journey of art flying around on magical home furnishings, whilst eating Italian deli food, on the way to finding heaven. It took place on March 1st 2019 at 4Cose.
Rugs are my way of clearing a space for work, but also of making something that could be rolled up and stored, or used for something else. I also began to think of the rugs as kinds of magic carpets. What I would like most about a magic carpet is that you can carry it around, unroll it and and go anywhere; its always been my preferred imagined mode of transport. Annelie found Captain Stormfield, a story about going to heaven on a magic carpet. I wrote the text in response to our conversations.
Triangular Brush: Art Jazz Band
Formed towards the end of our MA / MFA at Kingston University, Triangular Brush was a collaborative exhibition, event and publication project, created as a way of mutually supporting one another to have ‘art adventures’ and to create our own opportunities for making and showing work.
