| After ten amazing years running Picture This, Director, Jo Lanyon is leaving the organisation to seek out new professional challenges following on from her maternity leave. Under Jo's leadership Picture This commissioned artists such as Marcus Coates, Rosalind Nashashibi, John Smith, John Wood & Paul Harrison, Ryan Gander and Mariele Neudecker, and instigated projects such as Ghosting. In 2007 she set up the atelier space at Spike Island that houses residencies, events and exhibitions. The Picture This board and staff wish Jo well for the future and thank her for all her dedication, vision and aspiration for the organisation. Jo says 'I am really proud of the new works, exhibitions and publications that we have produced at Picture This and I have very much enjoyed working closely with a huge number of artists and arts professionals. Thank you for all your support and I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with you again. Initially I intend to enjoy the flexibility that freelancing provides for trying out new curatorial, consultancy and arts management projects.' If you would like to contact Jo, please email jolanyon@hotmail.com Picture This is currently being directed by Lisa Panting. Lisa will stay in post to provide continuity for the organisation and build on current strategy and programme. Forthcoming projects include new works by Ben Rivers, Hito Steyerl and Yael Davids. Our next round of projects will be announced shortly and will include an open submission scheme for young artists. |
