Rogue Studios 30@30 #18 Jo Clements

Welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester. I’m Jo Clements – artist, coach, and host of this podcast and today I’m swapping roles – instead of being the one asking the questions, I’m being interviewed for Rogue Studios’ 30@30 series by the brilliant Mollie Balshaw from Short Supply.My work explores how knowledge- especially knowledge that is embodied, gendered, or classed – is transmitted, stored, and valued. Through sculpture, drawing, sound, and digital media, I investigate how meaning is constructed through both physical and cultural systems, from neural networks to educational materials. Frequently sensual, tantalisingly tactile and often tongue in cheek my work exudes an ambiguous mix of the serious and the absurd.I hold a Fine Art practice-based PhD, have exhibited in solo shows at mid-Pennine Art Gallery, Bury Art Museum, The Whitaker Museum and Art Gallery and Claudel hall, Clermont-Ferrand, France and was the overall winner of the Greater Manchester Arts Prize in 2018. My work is held in private collections across the UK. I also support artists through coaching and mentoring across the UK and Ireland.Artists website: https://www.joclements.co.uk  Coaching website: https://www.joclements.ukInsta @jo_clements Podcast @the_grateful_web We look forward to seeing you for Open Studios at 2–6 Barrass Street, Openshaw, Manchester M11 1PU on Saturday 20th September from 12–8pmListen to the podcasts @the_grateful_web on ACAST, Spotify and Apple music or wherever you get your podcasts.
