Earlier this week the ArtULTRA team had a lovely time visiting the studio of Gary March () at Hackney City Farm . It was great to get a glimpse into Gary’s artistic process, explore the farm, and see his sculptures in situ.

🌱 We have some exciting plans for this autumn with Gary and we can’t wait to share more!

🔗 In the meantime, visit the ArtULTRA website and read our interview with Gary from last year!

How can we have a dramatically positive impact on biodiversity on our planet? How can we create abundant biodiverse ecologies in the process of producing everything we need to thrive? A very big question to ponder! While we don’t have all the answers, there is a body of evidence that shows it can be done. To reflect this, and inspire people to find out more, we asked artists to help us crystallise this concept.

Two talented artists took up the challenge to respond. Over the course of a few weeks they met with scientists, farmers, food experts to learn about this field. Then they went away to turn this knowledge into artworks that can reach a wider public.

The outcome: a superb banner, AR animated, created by which adorns the side of and a thoughtful film by .

Hats off to these two artists who took the challenge and gave two very different, but equally thought-provoking responses.

It’s been a real pleasure to work with both, to guide them through this commission - we learned so much together. I am so impressed by what they created and how they took such a tough commission brief and turned it into art.

Thankfully, the sun turned up for the launch so we could enjoy Katie’s banner in all its intricate details, as well as play with the AR. We pondered Will’s film and enjoyed the ensuing conversation with both artists during which they shared their learnings.

The first step to create change is to create a personal connection with nature, from which we can feel so far removed in our cities. Then we won’t take the food we eat, the trees that shade us, the rivers that cool as much for granted.

A big hank you to Daniel Hudson Chairman, for challenging us to think differently.

We are thrilled to announce that our Artist of the Month this June is the multidisciplinary artist, Daniel Rey (). Born in Caracas, Venezuela, and residing in London, Daniel works across painting, performance and video. In his artistic practice, Rey explores how architecture relates to the human body, and the ways in which we inhabit a space - be it a city, our home or a swimming pool.

Drawing on his Latin American cultural heritage and his background in architecture, his immersive installations challenge traditional notions of masculinity and explore themes of migration and cultural hybridity. “In my practice, I explore how the concepts of masculinity, queerness and nostalgia connect to our built environment,” says Daniel. “These themes are inspired by my upbringing in Venezuela where there is a strong machismo culture embedded in society.”

This piece, titled, ‘Why Do Swimmers Suddenly Appear’, is inspired by Daniel’s experience of competitive swimming. The performance, featuring three ‘competitors’ defiantly posing on diving platforms, investigates how certain activities and sites convey normative ideas about gender and masculinity. “I was interested in subverting the dynamics of a swimming competition - where there’s testosterone, rivalry, and demonstrations of masculinity - into something more evocative, and sensitive,” Daniel explains.
