DARTER is Chloe Cooper, Louisa Martin and Phoebe Davies. DARTER make art in response to particular social contexts. With a predominantly ‘live’ or performative approach, DARTER’s work aims to playfully interrupt established social spaces and codes that shape or frame how we perceive an event, interaction or architectural space. Working with and responding to contexts such as a school or a specific audience, DARTER appropriate and subvert behavioural norms, documentary media and the tools of academia in order to communicate their ideas.

DARTER were Whitechapel Gallery Artists in Residence at the Bridge Academy School in Hackney for the academic year 2010-2011.

MENTORING:

Junto:Mentor 2009 -2010

In 2009, Chloe Cooper, Phoebe Davies and Louisa Martin alongside artists Emma Leach, Jieun Lee and Daniel Oliver formed Junto:Mentor, a mentoring scheme for emerging artists delivered collaboratively over a four-week period. The aim of Junto:Mentor is to tackle the challenging two-year period following graduation that often discourages graduates from pursuing art seriously. Junto:Mentor offers an environment to investigate and challenge their art practices, forming a dialogue between their work and the professional art world, whilst also increasing awareness of audiences for their work and widening their network of support. By sharing models for becoming more resourceful, discussing concerns with established artists and sharing advice that we ourselves found integral to our development, we offer a viewpoint that differs from those of more established artists or university tutors and lecturers.
Junto;Mentor has been supported by: Camden Arts Centre, Live Arts Development Agency and New Work Network. For documentation of Junto:Mentor, please go to: juntomentor-at-176.tumblr

Junto has been supported by various art organisations including Artsadmin, Gasworks and Whitechapel Gallery (The Street Project).

About:

Phoebe Davies’ work is defined by its situation and contexts, exploring the social codes and behavioural responses that shape an event, public space or constructed scenario. She generates work through instruction, live interaction and text, which may be initiated by an individual or group but completed or extended by others. Her work is often ephemeral and chanced upon existing primarily in pedestrian spaces in addition to galleries and institutions.

Phoebe Davies is one third of DARTER, an artist group who make art in response to particular social contexts. With a predominantly live or performative approach, DARTER's work aims to playfully interrupt established social codes and conventions that shape or frame how we perceive an event, interaction or architectural space.
