Limited Limitlessness - Kamaljeet Ajimal
Tuesday 24th - Saturday 28th July 2007
Gallery Open: 12 - 7pm
Live Classical Indian music recitals every night: 7pm onwards
For the second exhibition in Summer Programme, 42 New Briggate Gallery presented Limited Limitlessness, a solo show by Leeds-based artist Kamaljeet Ajimal with large-scale painting and live classical Indian music.
Kamaljeet's practice is concerned with the visual representation of the Raga and Rasa* as evoked through classical Indian music. Her paintings utilise the psychological properties of colour to create dialogues between the visual and the audio. Accompanied by the Tanpura (a four stringed drone instrument used in all classical Indian musicl recitals), the rhythms in the paintings resonate with the vibrations of the music they represent.
The exhibition featured a special series of Classical Indian musical recitals in the Gallery, allowing the audience to experience first hand the themes in the paintings.
*Ragas are used in traditional Indian music as a specific framework for melody and improvisation, used to evoke emotion in the listener.
Rasa literally describes a 'living liquid' like nectar or sap. In Indian art it refers to the moods that can be created by experiencing art.
Schedule of recitals:

resourceCITE archive
42 New Briggate Gallery presents
resourceCITE
resourceCITE is a mobile archive of catalogued information about site and context-responsive artworks.. The variety of different formats include books, DVDs, JPG CDs, VHS tapes, slides, and audio CDs; so that there is plenty to look at, watch, read and hear. The artwork is catalogued by location and is housed in recycled suitcases. The project presents both artists and the public with an inspiring overview of current practice in this rapidly developing area and it hopes to de-mystify art that is made for specific sites and contexts.
Users can either take an organised approach and leaf through the catalogue of submissions to dip-in to see what they pull out.
resourceCITE works on an open submission basis so any one can submit their work. Submission forms are available in the gallery or by email.

Cannonball Artist Information
Cannonball
16th – 21st July 2007, 12- 7pm.
To launch the Summer program of exhibitions and events taking place at 42 New Briggate Gallery, Cannonball will bring together a range of work from the Leeds' art institutes including Leeds College of Art and Design, Leeds Metropolitan University and The University of Leeds, with artists recently graduating from Foundation level through to MA.
This will be a rare chance to experience work from across the Leeds art school board in the same place at the same time. Marvel at the sight of cross-course inter-pollution unfolding before your eyes. Enjoy the rarity of college-ites' and post grads' art works sitting side by side. This dynamic interplay will provide a fresh context for the works and act as a small but overdue step towards linking the institutions of Leeds.
For the artists involved the exhibition presents an opportunity to expand on, rework or re-present the practice they have developed during study, facilitating a continuation of activity post art-education rather than travelling tumbleweeds and office jobs.
Works will include performative wall drawings, sleepy photography, sado-masochistic paper works, noisy sawdust, book-works, interactive birds, index fingers and a bench.
Artists
Once Again
Fran and Ailsa Burrows
Fran and Ailsa are twins. Their work concerns ‘the double’ and the act of collaboration; at times exploring these subjects in a literal manner, and at other times taking elements such as the endeavor for symmetry as the basis of their work. In this wall drawing and accompanying film their uncommon relationship and working processes are revealed.
Fran and Ailsa studied BA Fine Art at the University of Leeds.
Wallpaper Cranes
Larna Campbell
Larna Campbell is interested in the oft-overlooked three dimensional, tactile qualities of paper. In Wallpaper Cranes she invites the viewer to explore these qualities themselves by constructing origami paper cranes and contribute to the final outcome of the work.
Larna studied BA Fine Art at Leeds Metropolitan University.
CAST Fingers
CAST collective
CAST fingers is a collaboration between six artists; Steven Anderson, Joanna Brown, Paula Fleming, Victoria Lucas, Ju Youn Yim, and Janis Rafailidou. The project explores a notion of creativity, through bronze representations of the index finger cast from visual artists, musicians, writers, animators, and poets. Two complete sets of the fingers, as well as each individual finger will be auctioned in aid of The Medical Foundation and the Art House in autumn 2007. Please visit www.leedscast.org for more information.
CAST studied MA/MFA Fine Art at the University of Leeds.
Graph Paper Ruined my Mind
Rachel Jesse
How do you ruin your mind? Take five weeks, eighteen sheets of graph paper, and 56,700 squares and strive for a machine-like perfection. Of course, human error always finds a way in. Then the question becomes - how do you walk away from an obsession? In this piece Rachel hopes the answer is to pick away until there is nothing left to obsess about. Have a pull.
Rachel studied Foundation Fine Art at Leeds College of Art and Design.
Wake Up
Jane Liggins
Jane Liggins photographs her friends as she disturbs them from sleep, capturing them in between states of consciousness. This instant depicts the moment before each subject can fully suppress a more truthful side to him or herself and when viewed en-mass creates a new dimension in voyeurism.
Jane studied BA Fine Art at Leeds Metropolitan University.
Talking To Grandad
Mark Madden
Mark Madden creates furniture with a specific function, combining elements of his grandfather’s personality with notions of his upbringing. The different levels of the bench, designed for adult and child, represent the act of storytelling. Please take a seat, and tell a story.
Mark studied BA Furniture at Leeds College of Art and Design.
Untitled
Tim Pulleyn
Tim Pulleyn’s installation plays with the texture of sound via frequency application and white noise. Vibrations from the sound-piece create visual patterns in the sawdust placed inside the speaker. Tim’s work straddles sculpture and all out noise, for the most part lying dormant but erupting every thirty minutes. The sounds are abstracted from recordings of everyday objects and places.
Tim studied Foundation Fine Art at Leeds College of Art and Design.
The Passage of Time
Rose Thompson
Rose Thompson creates artist’s books that combine the processes investigating time and movement. Her books are abstract interpretations about her experience of walking, providing a true insight for the viewer to see and touch. Rose's book will be available in the 42 New Briggate shop for the summer following Cannonball.
Rose studied Interdisciplinary Art and Design at Leeds College of Art and Design.
