LOST (in Transition) + FOUND (in Translation) An Experimental Collaborative Process of Transcription, Transmission Chaining and Interpretation at ATOM GALLERY
Atom gallery chose an image (See David Hockney image below) KEELERTORNERO made a response, printed it out and sent it to a bunch of artists. Those artists made a response and then interfered with the print. They sent them both back and KEELERTORNERO interfered with their first one. These are the results..

THE BRIDGE AT HERRICK GALLERY
THE BRIDGE. ALICE HERRICK TASK FOR KT-LAB: AN ART EXPEDITION – KEELETORNERO RESPOND TO THE PAINTINGS OF IAN HEALY IN 3D
Alice Herrick of Herrick Gallery asked us to come and set up a sculpture studio in the basement of her Mayfair gallery during the Ian Healy exhibition and respond to his paintings in 3D. Our usual medium is paint so despite some initial apprehension it turned out to be really fun as we happily rediscovered some techniques and materials we’d used in the past. The experience of working at the Herrick gallery in the well-heeled environs of Mayfair proved to be good focus for us, since we were there to do one thing only and with Alice on the next floor, regularly checking on our progress, we couldn’t run away. The experience of spending time with another artist’s work is interesting too and it was necessary to get behind the compositions in Ian’s brightly coloured paintings. The characters in the paintings are very strong and the effect they have on you changes the more you get to know them. We hope we managed to treat the subjects with the right amount of respect.
KT-LAB is a 2-3 year project in which we complete tasks set by specially selected Artists and creatives who then critique the work produced. The aim is to challenge our existing ideas about painting and art as a whole and to expand our vision by temporarily adopting the viewpoint of our chosen artists. We intend to share online as much of this experience as possible and through filmed interviews and studio visits we will offer an insight into the usually undisclosed world of everyday creative process. Having read satisfied reviews of dozens of men and women at https://tiaca.org/buy-viagra-sildenafil-online-20-mg/, I decided to buy Viagra for myself. The pharmacist promised I’ll be satisfied with the results and he was right. The problem with premature ejaculation disappeared and it was not so difficult to achieve sexual arousal as usual. We also want to enter into dialogue with the Artists and the general public about the meaning and function of the Arts in todays society and we encourage everyone to get involved and become part of this conversation…

KEELERTORNERO at LE COQ ARTISTES - Chinese Open 2017
The seven paintings specially created for this exhibition are based on an updated unspecific narrative concerning Artist and philosopher Edward Rathburn in 1826.
1. (Rooster sees his reflection in a pond) In which Edward is struck by his own reflection in the village pond of Ripley in Surrey, and is compelled to take stock of his feckless meanderings and re-evaluate his meager perspective.
2. (Rooster looks at money tree) In which Edward, penniless and destitute, seeks alternative methods of procuring commodities.
3. (Rooster held by the neck by man) In which Edward believes his is being coerced into a string of repugnant deeds by his benefactor.
4. (Box of matches with rooster on box) In which Edward finds himself burning the midnight oil doing business with a man predisposed to incendiarism.
5. (Man swipes smart phone of rooster picture on screen) In which Edward, after lengthy ponderous comtemplation, resolves to pursue a carnal allegiance.
6 and 7. 6. (Tritych of rooster foot on sandwich, rooster wearing denim and the pouring of cornflakes.) and 7. (Tritych of rooster beer cans, a rooster being dangled over a bucket of water and a pair of brogues.) In which Edward commits to an extravagant embrace of contemporary procedures and conventions.
All emulsion and acrylic on cardboard. Thanks to Paul Sakoilsky for conducting impromptu auction.
Gaming Table for X2066. Tromsø Norway Oct 16. In Association with Insomnia Festival
We spent half of Ocotober this year in the northern Norwegian town of Tromsø working on a special project called X2066 with the people at Ice-9. We collaborated with Valentin Manz and Alice Lui on the game. It’s a story generator, an interactive game which allows the players to imagine the life of X and in turn imagine what their own future might be like.
The year is 2066. X is a 21-year-old woman living in the arctic. Ice-9 presents a scienceFUTURE exhibition and story-hacking lab featuring a musical board game, virtual reality, holograms and an app. Play games that explore and expand on story ideas collected from polar scientists, kids and artists about X in a dramatically-altered arctic landscape.
X2066 and science futures are produced by Ice-9, a new company based in Tromsø established by Christine Cynn and Valentin Manz for creating participatory art combined with digital and online tools with live events, workshops and exhibitions. Christine is co-director of the Oscar nominated documentary the act of killing, director and co-producer of Shooting Ourselves, on the global arms trade.
The project is now called Hello X. See HERE for more information about HELLO X and ICE-9. In association with Insomnia festival

Heads of Assembly at MK Gallery, MILTON KEYNES
KEELERTORNERO Heads of Assembly 2015 Vinyl records and acrylic.
This summer MK Gallery presents the work of almost 70 artists, musicians and performers from Milton Keynes in MK Calling 2015. This exciting show selected from an Open Call for submissions, is designed to explore the breadth of creativity in or inspired by Milton Keynes.
The event builds on the hugely popular MK Calling exhibition in the summer of 2013, with approximately a third of the exhibitors making a welcome return. This year is characterised by a higher proportion of artists than performers, and work by talented amateurs will sit alongside that of recent graduates through to established practitioners. The selected work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, film, sound, photography, poetry, music and performance, which will be presented in broad thematic groupings, such as figures, landscape and geometry/abstraction.
This year’s exhibition marks the end of the Gallery building in its current form, before work begins on the Gallery’s expansion. The ambitious new Gallery will open in 2017 as part of the celebrations for MK50 – the city’s fiftieth anniversary year.
Speaking about the exhibition, MK Gallery’s Director Anthony Spira, said: “MK Calling 2015 provides a great opportunity for artists and audiences in Milton Keynes to meet, share ideas, and participate in workshops, training and mentoring. This project celebrates the end of the first phase of the Gallery’s history and launches our exciting expansion.”
Friday 3 July – Sunday 6 September 2015

Les yeux de l’oiseau is the incomprehensive dictionary of a fine mind. caught in gossamer experi-mental-floss in a sweeping motion of a petit grand gesture are 1000 split-second photographs taken from the corner of the eye of a bird. family portraits and memory snapshots of the enigmatic characters and mythologies projected onto the inside of chin keeler, they are blood relations of your own inner friends. born, like all of us, from the placenta of sweet longings and raised on pop culture ephemera, they accelerate by their pumping hearts towards the sun into which they hurl their gleaming dreams like some bipolar darts champion on a hot cake wednesday. take the megabrain challenge and re-assemble the fractions into one intense second of streaming consciousness – get your felt-pens and colour them in the shades of love. – Tina Borkowski of The Society for Certain Errors.
