Post Marks is the culmination of an intensive drawing project developed over the course of a year (2003) and consisting of more than 700 drawings. The drawings were posted daily between two artists Melanie Rose and Arabella Lee, and form a developing artistic dialogue. The folded and posted drawings bear the marks of their journeys with the addresses, stamps and frank marks an integral part of the finished work. The newspaper quality newsprint, which the drawings are on both references their daily news exchange and allows the displayed work to flutter on the wall when viewers pass by. Arabella Lee and Melanie Rose graduated from Central St Martins MA Fine Art in 2002.

St Augustine's Tower, The Narroway, Hackney, London E8
The exhibiton 'Out of Time' brings together ten artists in St Augustine's Tower. The tower functioned as a timekeeping tool, and still houses the clock workings and pendulum from the late sixteenth century. In the setting of modern Hackney life this solitary medieval tower has a sense of being both out of place and out of time. This notion of being outside of time reinforces concerns present in the work of the artists; through a variety of different media - including sculpture, video, performance, drawing and sound. Includes work by CSM graduates AL + AL (Alan Holmes) (BA Fine Art CSM), Debbie Lawson (MA Fine Art CSM), Bill Urmenyi (BA Fine Art, Chelsea) and Angela Huntbach (BA Fine Art CSM), who has also curated the show.
