F-ISH EYE is a new media commissioning and professional development umbrella of F-ISH Creative. Parallel Worlds will be its inaugural show.

Through Parallel Worlds we have worked with three established artists based in Hastings who each have a track record of producing very high quality and thought provoking work in new media. The artists have developed an exhibition that relates to the simultaneity of experience and events across time and place.

The three artists are key members of the team at Project Art Works, an artist-led organization that conducts a wide range of visual art projects with people who have complex and high support needs. Kate Adams is Director and Lead Artist of the organization, Sarah Broome, In-House Programme Manager, and Tim Corrigan, a Lead Artist and filmmaker on a wide range of its projects.

Kate Adams works primarily with video, but explores a complex set of territories within an expansive interdisciplinary practice that encompasses installation, construction and drawing. A multi-screen video and film work, The Not Knowing of Another – questioning what a young man who has severe neurological impairment experiences during a short, wild walk – was shown at the De La Warr Pavilion in 2008, and built upon work produced during a four-year fellowship awarded by NESTA (National Endowment of Science, Technology and the Arts). Kate co-founded and is director of Project Art Works, based in Hastings. Her experience as a carer informs the social, cultural and political connectedness of her own practice and Project Art Works’ programmes of work.

Sarah Broome's practice circles an alter-ego, Mother of Grace, who she engages with through video, installation and performance. Now in her tenth year, Mother of Grace has her own personal history, a collection of intimate moments and recordings that build the landscape of her personality. In Parallel Worlds, Broome presents a conversation across time touching upon memory and alternative realities. Broome has worked on various participatory projects linking her art practice to, and collaborating with, members of the local community.

Tim Corrigan has been filming the shifting political landscape in Cambodia for the past 8 years tracing through film a complex web of connections and events both here and there - including the election trials and resistance work of Sam Rainsy leader of the opposition. His work at F-ISH presents fragments from these years. Corrigan manages a small film production company, Outline Pictures and has worked as a lead project artist on a wide range of socially engaged projects.
