Anne-marie Creamer

Profile/CV

British artist Anne-marie Creamer’s videos, drawings and paintings have often centred on the existence of artefacts or chance encounters, such as the 200 letters Transylvanian exile Mikes Kelemen wrote to his fictitious aunt in the 18th century, her encounter with a group of dancing Székey children in Romania, finding wedding rings in a cup of coffee on a train at Paddington station, or an old coat in an abandoned apartment in Bohemia, or procuring the small painting that the fictitious Vladimir Slapeta commissioned from painter Andrew Grassie.  Hers is a hybrid arts practice centred on taking an exploratory and experimental approach to narrative. Her work often centres on the existence of artefacts or chance encounters, which she combines into reflexive & deceptively simple tales. Keenly interested in the possibilities of a transcriptive arts practice, her films and drawings often feature stories nested within other larger stories, forming a larger mise-en-abyme structure connected across mediums and formats, within which her drawings can appear in her films or installations in surprising ways, sometimes featuring as an animated sequence, a still, a spatial device, a found object, or an un-realized film.

She is currently involved in plans for a solo exhibition in central Europe at the Galerie Die Aktualitat des Schonen in 2011 & was recently involved in a group exhibition at the John Soane’s Museum, London, and in October 2010 is taking part in ‘Vitamin Sandnes’, a festival of works by twelve contemporary artists for the 175th Jubilee of the town of Sandnes in Norway, featuring Lucy Gunning, amongst others. She has also had recent exhibitions at Alma Enterprises, London, Apex Arts Gallery, New York, Galerie de Kunstler, Munich, as well as venues in Prague, Belgium, Derby, Dublin, and Norwich & Romania.
