Vessel is a triptych art work. A Nuroptics & Bill Greenhalgh collaboration. Audio is provided by Richard Bradbury.
Nuroptics is the creative video outlet for Jason Telford. Bill Greenhalgh is an artist based in the real, nondigital, world.
Jason Telford’s story, in part:
Post university, wondering what to do with the rest of his life, and a little drunk at a UK festival, Jason Telford makes a wager with Richard Bradbury to quit working at a record store and follow through on the dream of providing visuals (aka being a VJ) to London’s hedonistic nightclubs. Soon after the first gig was in a barn in the countryside for 30 people, two weeks later Nuroptics provided visuals at an event in the iconic Brixton Academy, London, for 1000’s of people. He promptly quit his day job and in turn he became one of the very very few full time VJs at the time.
That conversation was over 2 decades ago. Jason Telford has since worked with the biggest clubs and festivals from Torture Garden to Glastonbury. More recently he has been touring with bands such as Coldplay and Metallica. Yet still finds time to work at intimate festivals such as FolkEast.
Richard Bradbury
Starting out as a sound engineer across London’s live venues. This paved the way to a decade at the heart of the music production for the advertising world. If you owned a television in the UK a few years back, you would have heard his work. Then lure of the UK theatres attracted his attention. Disillusioned with London he has since relocated to tranquillity of Wales.
Bill Greenhalgh
An artist working in paint, texture, colour, and wood relief. Over the years he has developed his own language away from traditional gallery route. Carving a path through public art to include a piece stretching 150m through a hospital corridors. Or the taking over of public spaces, such as the installation of over 50 pieces display around a swimming centre.
“Greenhalgh’s icons and images might hit the retina like fireworks, but they also describe a lonely, frightening world, in which horror nestles up alongside happiness.”
Paul Greenhalgh / Curator
Jason Telford has been experimenting with Bill Greenhalgh’s work over many years. In the early days as content the club visuals. Then they were commissioned to provide a 10 minute piece for MixMasters / ITV (UK Television station). This was several years ago but cemented the concept of using Bill Greenhalgh’s shapes and language to tell a story through video. We now have the awe- inspiring tool of projection mapping. This is a medium they want to explore.
This is a triptych of skill sets coming together to make one piece. It is an opportunity not to miss out on.
