In Conversation with Christian Noelle Charles - Online Event
with Alberta Whittle
On Wed 23 August, please join us for an artist's talk to celebrate Christian Noelle Charles’ solo exhibition WHAT A FEELING! | ACT I, in conversation with Alberta Whittle.
Taking place in our print studio where all the prints in the exhibition were created, the conversation will be followed by a short Q&A.
Christian Noelle Charles is a Black Female Artist currently living and working in Glasgow, Scotland. A Syracuse, New York native, Christian's work is an exploration of female representation and self-love in a contemporary world. She has acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the Cooper Union in New York City and a Master of Fine Arts at the Glasgow School of Art. She has presented works with Tramway and CCA in Glasgow, South London Gallery in London, and the Bangkok Art & Culture Center in Bangkok, Thailand.
Christian takes inspiration from today's pop culture, modern performance techniques, and personal experiences. She also derives inspiration as a video performance artist from the relationship between performer and audience member. By using the mediums of printmaking, video, and performance her work demonstrates a celebration of self-love and individuality.
Alberta Whittle is an artist, researcher, and curator. She was awarded a Turner Bursary, the Frieze Artist Award, and a Henry Moore Foundation Artist Award in 2020. Having exhibited all over the world, her work has been acquired for the UK National Collections, The Scottish National Gallery Collections, Glasgow Museums Collections and The Contemporary Art Research Collection at Edinburgh College of Art amongst other private collections.
Her creative practice is motivated by the desire to manifest self-compassion and collective care as key methods in battling anti-blackness. She choreographs interactive installations, using film, sculpture, and performance as site-specific artworks in public and private spaces.
