It’s been an eventful 12 months that has included setting up a studio space in Stoke city centre, a three-week residency in Wakefield, and in March winning the New Art West Midlands prize. “I’m still getting used to juggling part-time work, managing the studios and doing my own practice,” she says. “One of the first things I did was set up Majestic Studios in Stoke with two other graduates – it gives me a secure space in which to do my art work and keep my practice going.” Originally from nearby Newcastle under Lyme, Reed has no plans to leave the area. “I’m quite sick of people saying, ‘I want to get out of Stoke’,” she says. “Most recent graduates just want to move away, so to have that studio environment where you can work with other artists, I think that’s really important.” 2 Reed received a £1000 cash prize for winning New Art West Midlands, along with a residency at A3 Project Space in Birmingham from 4 March to 3 May. Her practice draws on architecture and the built environment; she’s yet to sell any work though, perhaps because it is largely installation-based. “It’s quite difficult to buy and I still don’t feel very clued up on that side of things.” For the time being, then, it’s working three days a week that pays the bills. “I’m painting clay figures for a little family-run pottery company in Stoke,” she says. “I’m glad it’s still creative in some way.” 1 Ali Reed, New Art West Midlands exhibition, installation view, 2014 2 Ali Reed, New Art West Midlands exhibition, installation view, 2014 London office Advertising, Editorial Unit 16, Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6AB a-n The Artists Information Company’s programmes are enabled by artists who form our largest stakeholder group, contributing some £470K annually in subscription income, augmented by a National Portfolio Organisation award from Arts Council England. a-n.co.uk Degree Shows Guide 2014 FIRST THOUGHTS / PERSPECTIVES / PREVIEWS / LISTINGS / COLLECTING / AND FINALLY...
