Jennifer Taylor: Silence Beach. Contains Art, 18th October 2017.
A multimedia exhibition and performance, Silence Beach reimagined a twilight, sci-fi landscape emptied onto the West Somerset coastline.
Jennifer Taylor, a film and performance artist, creates absurd scenarios and narratives in response to remote landscapes and abandoned structures. In this installation, she combines elements inspired by the coastline with surreal props. Tangled tubing, giant balloons, foils, mirrors and fluorescent lighting form an artificial and immersive environment that acts as a superficial stage.
Partly inspired by J G Ballard’s apocalyptic science-fiction novel, The Crystal World, we journey into a frozen landscape as dense as the forest of crystal imagined by Ballard. Reality becomes suspended, motionless in a crystalline landscape.
Place is very important in my work, and landscape. My process starts with the setting and environment, then the work builds from there…
– Jennifer Taylor
Taylor is one of the liveliest experimental performance artists of her generation. This installation, a stage for the artist’s performance, invites us to explore and enter her fantasy narrative.
Without her presence, the stage set allows for a different experience. Rather than an audience, watching a performance, we become accidental participants in the scene ourselves - as if happening across the set, which might be abandoned or might soon be used. The work encourages us to consider our place in the context of an environment or landscape, real or invented. Are we participants when we walk along the beach? Are we an audience for the waves hitting the shoreline? Can we separate ourselves from the places we inhabit? What role are we playing here and now?
Jennifer Taylor was awarded the Creative Wales Fellowship at the British School at Rome (October 2017) and she was previously Artist in Residence at Largo das Artes, Rio de Janeiro (2016). Taylor completed her MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art (2007) and her BA in Fine Art at the Ruskin School, University of Oxford (First Class Honours 2004). Taylor has exhibited and staged performances at many galleries and public spaces including A Gentil Carioca in Rio de Janeiro, Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris, French Riviera, Yinka Shonibare's Guest Projects, The Wapping Project, The ICA, Flowers East, Modern Art Oxford, Oxford University Press and Unperforming, Artsadmin, London.

Miss Traill's House Bathurst. The Perfect Wedding Venue.
Built by the Reverend Thomas Sharpe in 1845 soon after land became available in the Bathurst area, Miss Traill's House and Garden is named after Ida Traill, a socially prominent, independently wealthy resident, who lived in this pretty Colonial Georgian bungalow from 1931 until her death at 87 in 1976.
Ida Traill was a descendant of early settlers in the region. Her great grandfathers, pioneering freeholders, were amongst 10 men selected by Governor Macquarie to explore and settle the area, which became Bathurst, one of
Australia's first inland cities.
The home Ida bequeathed to the National Trust (1976) - to ensure it would not be demolished to make way for 'progress' - is today an elegant house museum containing Ida Traill's significant collection of artifacts relating to four generations of the Lee and Kite families. Together with her tasteful furniture, intriguing horseracing memorabilia, paintings and ceramics, they are linked to the house and the early history of Bathurst.
After living in Sydney for many years, Ida returned to Bathurst in 1931 and purchased the house at 321 Russell Street for herself and her mother. Thanks to her inherent good taste, the house has a subtle, feminine character, elegant furnishings and a most enchanting, private garden. Always a good dresser, Ida also had a few unconventional passions for her time: a love for cars (she drove a Packard for many years and was as knowledgeable about its workings as her mechanic), rugby and cricket. Her home was always open to friends and she became legendary for her cocktail parties. She lived at 321 Russell Street for over 50 years until her death in 1976.
The house holds a wide and varied collection accumulated over 150 years, embracing items from Ida's convict ancestors to her more prosperous land settlers. There are many mementoes to racing history with Lee horses making their mark for nearly 50 years, winning national titles including the Melbourne Cup and breeding some of the finest thoroughbreds in the industry.
Ida herself shared in the love for the family's racehorses and a running equestrian theme can be spotted throughout the property and its collection. The artwork, in particular, reflects a spectrum of equestrian and racing memories.
Miss Traill's garden includes a horse paddock, a feature once common in the cities and towns of New South Wales. This was home to her boys, a few sheep she kept as pets. The garden also features a herb garden and well-established grounds planted with colourful 'cooler climate' shrubs and flowers.
Miss Traill's House and Garden remains a fine example of one of the few Victorian-era homes within Bathurst that is largely unaltered. It reflects a long line of social, economical and genealogical associations with the Sharpe, Kite and Lee families and their descendants, stretching to Miss Traill, who had the foresight to preserve this tangible memorial to her family.
