Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2023/24

1 March to 19 April 2025

Cross Lane Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Steph Huang (b. 1990, Changhua, Taiwan), winner of the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award 2023/24.

For Steph Huang, as for many creatives, the roles of cook and artist are delightfully entwined. Huang’s experience as a chef has provided her with a repertoire of foods, packaging and merchandising techniques that feed into sculptures and installations. And like any accomplished cook, Huang draws on a cornucopia of skills for her art, including printing, glassblowing, casting, welding and woodwork

Huang’s multidisciplinary practice investigates mass production and commerce, the transcultural and historical dimensions of the food industry, and the implications of such markets on our natural environment. Using a variety of manual techniques such as glass blowing and casting, as well as film and sound-based media, Huang transforms everyday spaces and objects, resulting in minimalist sculptures and poetically charged installations of quiet resonance.

Huang is the 21st winner of the MTSA, the most significant award for emerging UK artists working in the field of sculpture. It seeks to reward outstanding and innovative practice, with a particular interest in work that demonstrates a commitment to process, or sensitivity to material.

Huang was selected from 300 entries by a judging panel comprising: Francis Upritchard, Artist; Claire Feeley, Head of Exhibitions, Jupiter Artland; Rebecca Scott, Director, Cross Lane Projects and Mark Tanner Trust; and Lee Holden, MTSA winner 2022/23.

In classical painting hands form one of the most significant roles in the design of the painting. One only has to think of the extraordinary Raphael painting, The Transfiguration 1516-20, in what has become more than just a play of the hands as more like the dance of the hands. Yet in Noli me Tangere Christ reaches out to prevent further touches. Do not touch me I am touching you to keep you at a distance. It is often said that all artists possess some form of distance in their work, and it is there manifestly in the work by the strictures to never touch the work of art. Despite the invocation of touch by the artist especially the ones chosen for this exhibition. A touch that is unattainable that therefore seizes us and provokes a gut reaction. The nervous system of the gut being more sensitive to kinaesthetic sensation than the cerebral cortex. What the work of art draws us near to is their distance instilled in the artwork by the artist. The works make us sense this distance. It is the sense of a touch that commands you may not touch. You will never touch the artwork you will hold nothing in your hands and that is what you sense and love about the artwork.

Reposted from @notfairbear Dean Kenning, ' Untitled (Rubber Plants)' 2023, kinetic sculpture, mixed media. Artist and writer Dean Kenning (b 1972, Hounslow, UK) makes kinetic, robotic and sonic sculptures which seek to generate pathos, disquiet and humour through their visceral and compulsive qualities and behaviours, whilst bringing inert matter “to life”. With his motor-based, agitating and responsive works, Kenning seeks to relinquish a certain amount of control and manifest a feeling for life, both as a challenge to formalist and conceptualist modes of high culture appreciation, and as a way of examining our embodied and embedded relations to animal sentience and machinic systems of communication and learning. He also practices exploratory diagramming, combining the analogical and logical with the sensory and subjective as a means to probe political and philosophical matters and material across art and teaching. His “genre” approach to art, spanning sci-fi, horror and kinetics, extends also into other media such as video. Video by @markwoods1881 Thinking is Making is open Wednesday - Saturday, 12-5pm. Free Entry. #marktannersculptureaward #MTSA #sculpture #contemporarysculpture #installation #collaboration #sculptors #contemporaryart #visualarts #deankenning #kineticsculpture #mixedmedia #rubberplants #groupshow #artist #art #material #newsculpture #artaward #sculptureaward #kendal #contemporaryartinkendal #crosslaneprojects
