Charles Harrison is an artist based in London, working with painting, sculpture and installation. Home Contact B. 1986, based in Lincolnshire and London. Charlie Harrison is an artist, curator and creative health researcher working across contemporary art, neuroscience and public engagement. His art practice remodels common forms, drawing attention to perceptual fragility through distortions of material and sensual codes. Sculptural works are usually poorly fabricated and often placed within unsuspecting public environments. Recent developments have moved towards ecology, documentation and slow making. Charlie often works through collaboration and his artistic methods and conceptual understanding have shaped alongside artists, curators, social scientists, neuropsychologists, motor-neuroscientists and people living with rare dementias. Some of these collaborations have particularly focussed on the historical development, values and deficiencies of standardised testing methods and have led to novel social science and arts and health research funded by Wellcome Trust, University College London (UCL) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Charlie works at UCL Institute of Neurology, contributing to research, education, public and patient involvement and coordinating health and wellbeing projects alongside people living with rare dementias through the Rare Space community venture. Charlie also manages the planned Gallery Walk artist residency and development programme in South Lincolnshire. Selected Exhibitions and Events 2024 Speedboat , The Gliderdrome, Boston.

House & Garden The house was built in 1840 on allotment land. To this day, the house cannot be reached by car and must be accessed by a public footpath from the village of Pinchbeck. Locked in by waterways, the kitchen looks out over changing agricultural fields to the River Glen, the water tower and beyond. The garden is established, with three old apple trees, cherry blossom, rosehip, ivy and creeping buttercup. The overgrown plot which neighbour's the site is home to many birds and wildlife, and Gallery Walk's garden has been home to our rabbits Leyla & Boris, and lurcher Peggy. Home House & Garden Studio Space Produce Skills & Activities Let’s Work Together Get in touch so we can start working together.

Bollards II, 2018 10 replica bollards were planted in selected pedestrian locations around Deptford (for DeptfordX Fringe). Documentation of public interactions with the bollards were recorded and broadcast live online. Previous Project NextProject

Graphene 2014 - present What are our material obligations towards disruptive technologies? This project explores the ways a ‘wonder-material’ is considered, produced and consumed in an increasingly hostile and unstable environment. A single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, graphene is the thinnest, strongest and most conductive material on the planet and truly two-dimensional. Graphene has been continually lauded since its isolation by Prof Andre Geim and Prof Kostya Novoselov at the University of Manchester in 2004 and it has the potential to revolutionise energy, membranes, composites, sensors, electronics and biomedical technologies. Advancements in the study of the material provide hope but may also perpetuate troubling human structures and activities. Similarly, DIY materialists and basement experimenters may produce ill-fated fortunes or socially considerate designs. Previous Project Next Project

ACE Developing Your Creative Practice - Supporting Imagery & Information Please find below some imagery and information in support of my Developing Your Creative Practice application. The proposed work would seek to expand on my knowledge of filmmaking techniques and especially in the use of 16mm equipment. The primary theme and location for this work would be Lincolnshire and the fens - I am interested in the area of the fens which was historically reclaimed from the sea. I want to understand the history of water management in this environment and those who have lived and continue to live here. The below work details some initial exploration of these techniques and themes, including previous experience of filmmaking, working with landscape imagery in Scotland, and people living with rare dementias. Further information is given about projects which have explored water management systems, the land and materials of the fens, and relationships between human and non-human systems. I have also included some links to relevant information about important sites, archives, centres of knowledge and cultural context for the proposed development work. LINCS 2020 Experiments with clay-making, pottery and painting. Experience with Filmmaking the 'Neva' is a multichannel video installation about dementia, narration and the landscapes of a test. Are the voices of people with dementia diminished by cognitive testing materials? This film demonstrates individual capacities for expression through narration whilst exploring creative, historical and aesthetic qualities hidden in a scientific test of reading. Featuring 6 narrators who encounter a range of challenges with reading; from perceiving letters and words, to speaking them aloud or understanding their meaning, the film aims to highlight retained strengths for communication through bodily gesture, facial intonation and the playful drive to express oneself. The short passage that is narrated in the film is commonly used by neurologists when assessing reading abilities, and it was devised by Prof Elizabeth K Warrington as part of the Queens Square Screening Test for Cognitive Defects. The text includes details from Prof. Warrington’s own personal history and the film creatively explores these names, places and objects in association with the narrations. This project has been funded by the Created Out of Mind residency at Wellcome Collection, London and UCL. The film will be toured around the UK throughout 2019, funded by a Wellcome Public Engagement grant. Installation & touring documentation can be found here Preliminary work related to themes in the DYCP application Water Storage 2019-present Diagrammatic drawings & paintings based on water management systems LINCS 2020 Experiments with clay-making and pottery, using soil from agricultural field. WATER TESTING for N — E º W ˝( S ) Seasonal School Between 11th - 15th March 2019, a series of workshops and practical experiments led by ten selected participants took place at Jupiter Woods, expanding on the states of domestic chaos and order by producing visual and critical responses. Research, documentation, conversations and materials produced during the week were consolidated in an exhibition. More Information Here Reading 1 – Old Dykes I Have Known Reading 2 – Punt & Plough Written Text - Dirty Waters Conditions for Ongoingness was a project furthering investigation into the symbiotic nature of human and non-human systems. The exhibition included documentation reflecting on a two-day permaculture workshop led by artist and environmentalist Charles Pryor in October 2017 and new works by invited artists considered our entwined relationship with the environment and with each other.
