PEER ARTIST'S RESIDENCY
14 January - 14 April 2013
We are delighted to announce that our residency opportunity attracted more than 180 high-calibre applications. From this very tough competition, Andro Semeiko has been invited to undertake the three-month residency at PEER, and we are very much looking forward to working with him.
Over the course of his residency at PEER Andro Semeiko will establish the gallery as his base or headquarters for compiling research about Hoxton and Shoreditch. With this material, he will develop a narrative that fuses fact with fiction through painting, drawing and text. This research will also form the basis of an experimental collaboration with invited writers and other individuals from the local area that will ultimately lead to the development of a new body of work – a kind of multi-layered three-dimensional graphic novel, or expanded painting.
Andro Semeiko was born in Ozurgeti, Georgia and lives and works in London. He studied Fine Art at the Utrecht School of the Arts and did an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College. He completed his Postgraduate Diploma at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2006. Recent solo exhibitions and projects include Le Grand Charmer, Phoenix Gallery, Exeter (2012); Lily of Blythenhale, an artist's book with texts by Daniel Harbour, Shelley von Strunckel and others, and a related exhibition at Acme Project Space, London (2011); Against Anti Intellectualism: Andro Semeiko, Calum Stirling, +44 141 Gallery, SWG3, Glasgow (2011); Unveiling: Rocket MT2010 an artists book with texts by Neil Mulholland and JJ Charlesworth (2010) and Unveiling, Berwick Gymnasium Art Gallery, Berwick-upon-Tweed (2010). Group exhibitions include Take Shelter in the World, Boston University Art Gallery ANNEX, Boston (2012); Collaborators 3, ROOM Artspace, London (2012); Nor Corridor, Standpoint Gallery, London (2010); Happy End, Guest Projects, Yinka Shonibare's Space, London (2010) and Expanded Painting, Prague Biennale 4, Prague (2009).
