Titled after a character from the 70‘s comic Mandy, this multi–media exhibition features work which responds to contained situations of ambivalence and uncertainty, feeding off the resulting spillage. As the eponymous Anne helplessly tries to control her hideous laugh by suppressing her real feelings, so the artists’ creations play, suffer and disrupt the Basement’s white space and it’s dissimilar twin subterranean workshop.

Questioning the functionality of materials and playing with observations on theeveryday, Penni Pierce finds familiar and commonplace noises which re–appear in unexpected ways in her site–specific sculptural sound installations.

Frances Williams examines the spaces between and around performance, installation, moving image and narrative. The thin line between order and chaos is graphically demonstrated in her work, as witnessed by personal breakdown in the multi–media installation portraits of Mavis Passmore.

Tony Foster addresses issues of personal relationships, emotional attachment and connections with representational performance through film. Drawing from participants’ dynamic in the expression and suppression of emotion, he explores the tensions of relationship ‘events’.
