Talks And Collaborations By Stella Vine

2006

Vine curated the NOISE Festival for under 25 year olds at Tate Liverpool in 2006.

Vine was a curator for the Noise Festival, a festival of art for under 25 year olds, launched at Urbis, Manchester in April 2006. In June 2006, she gave a talk at Tate Modern on "the contrived eroticism" of Sleeping Girl, a 1943 a painting by Balthus.

In June 2006, a number of Chelsea Arts Club artists including Sarah Lucas, David Shrigley, Sandra Blow, Sir Peter Blake and Stella Vine customised iconic Terry de Havilland platform wedged shoes for the group exhibition Fu*k Me! Shoes. Vine's pair were called Moira (2006) consisting of two identical painted portraits of Moira Shearer of The Red Shoes on the insole of each red shoe, with red satin ribbons tied at the back. Vine made another painting Moira (2006), depicting Moira Shearer tying the red ribbons on her ballet shoes with the painted slogan I Will Always Love You beside her, for her solo exhibition at Bailiffgate Museum that year. On 26 June 2006, the shoes were auctioned for charity as part of burlesque-themed show. In 2008, Vine's hand-painted shoes were exhibited for a second time in Donald Smith's installation Colourspace for Shoes at the InterContinental hotel in London's Park Lane.

In July 2006, Vine held a family art workshop People Pets and Places at the Bailiffgate Museum. In August 2006, she was featured in the tabloids, when her painting of Celebrity Big Brother stars, Samuel "Ordinary Boy" Preston and Chantelle Houghton, "was used as the invitation to their wedding".

On 21 November 2006, Vine was filmed with Modern Art Oxford gallery director Andrew Nairne as part of Tim Marlow's documentary called Tim Marlow on... Modern Art Oxford on Five (TV channel).

2007

In January 2007, Polite cards held a launch in London for a range of greetings cards designed by Stella Vine alongside artists David Shrigley and Vic Reeves. In the same month, Vine was announced as a judge for a UK nationwide art competition held by Visto Brahma.

In April 2007, Vine was filmed in an episode of Horizon called Battle of the Brains for BBC Two in 2007.

In May 2007, Vine took part in a public talk Gender & Culture with Germaine Greer as part of the Women's International Arts Festival. Vine was later interviewed by students from John Mason School, and Oxford Community School, Oxford in July 2007, organised by Arts Council England.

In July 2007, Vine collaborated with Topshop clothing chain, creating a limited edition fashion range inspired by her artworks. These included T-shirts, vest tops, and T-shirt dresses, the labels designed in pink glitter. The Guardian commented that "the fact that the range of T-shirts she has recently designed for Top Shop - emblazoned with slogans like Breaking Up With Her Boyfriend - are flying out, speaks volumes for her public support."

In October 2007, Vine spoke to The Observer about Louise Bourgeois in an article called Kisses for Spiderwoman. Vine described Bourgeois as one of the "greatest ever artists" and that "few female artists have been recognised as truly important". Vine admires "the juxtaposition of sinister, controlling elements and full-on macho materials with a warm, nurturing and cocoon-like feminine side" that appears within Bourgeois' art. Vine also described Bourgeois as: ""incredible: she's known all these great men and outlived them all." On 12 November 2007, Vine was interviewed by Alan Yentob for BBC One's series Imagine in the documentary Spiderwoman about the life and art of Louise Bourgeois.

In November 2007, Vine performed the poem Lady Lazarus by Sylvia Plath, in the Purcell Room, at the Southbank Centre in London, as part of Art of The Visual, a symposium organized by Sally Bayley.

December 2007 - January 2008, Vine contributed a painting to a group show called Trans-Europe in Berlin, Germany alongside the work of six other female European painters.

2008

Vine created a portrait of supermodel Elle Macpherson in February 2008. The painting was later exhibited at an event organised by Macpherson in London. In March 2008, a portrait of Vine, taken by photographer Venetia Dearden, was part of the North Face exhibition at Alnwick Castle, comprising ten photographs from the National Portrait Gallery's collection.

In 2008, Vine chose the Uffington White Horse as her favourite artwork or destination for Artangel's The Big Pix project.

In May 2008, Vine took part in Artangel's The Big Pix project where artists film a video talking about their favourite artwork or destination. Vine chose the Uffington White Horse describing it as mysterious and inspiring. In September 2008, Vine presented the Groucho Club in London with an acrylic painting of Groucho Marx which was first exhibited inside the club in Autumn 2008. In October 2008, Vine donated a free painting called Mark (2008) of musician Mark E Smith to the Free Art Fair in London.

In December 2008, Vine began collaborating with Tatty Devine, the accessories boutique in London. Vine also created an affordable art book in the style of a fanzine in collaboration with Mrel Books. Vine also created "an affordable way" to own one of her small paintings in the form of 27 notebooks with a hand painted butterfly on the cover of each vintage music-paper book.

In the same month, Vine told The Guardian that she would spend Christmas Day 2008 with a run around the Serpentine, or a walk in Hyde Park or across London town with her son's bullmastiff dog and a small haversack of whisky and coffee. Vine collaborated with Japanese fashion label Comme des Garons showing a new painting Tralala (2008), that depicts the central star from Hubert Selby, Jr.'s cult book Last Exit To Brooklyn, at their central London Dover Street Market from 27th Nov 2008 until 8th Jan 2009.

2009

Vine is speaking in a debate at the Oxford Union in February 2009.

Vine is scheduled to speak on 19 February 2009 in proposition of the motion This House Believes That Promiscuity Is A Virtue Not A Vice, along with Dr. Shere Hite, Carol Queen and Joani Blank; in opposition are the Bishop of Ebbsfleet (Andrew Burnham), Wendy Shalit and Inga Muscio.

In the February 2009 issue of Gay Times, Vine discussed the 'tabloid frenzy' and media scrutiny that followed Saatchi collecting her work in 2004: "In the beginning it was a real battle to assert any kind of intelligence at all.". She spoke of pouring her emotions out in interviews and coming across as "a bit wild" and explained her mother had died at that time: "you are in a bit of a crazy place after something like that.". She said she now feels like "someone who's grown up" and that she sees life in a "much more mature kind of way". Vine said she was happy the media gave her a platform when no-one else did, and in spite of getting annoyed when factually incorrect things were said about her or when her comments were taken out of context, she did not really mind, as out of that she had the "opportunity for people to see my work and make their own decisions."

Vine is creating new work for a large solo show at The Eden Project scheduled for summer 2010.

Vine described modern celebrity culture as nothing new, that it's something humans had always done and that she admired people who were under intense pressure like Britney Spears who she felt was "very, very brave". Vine discussed her paintings of other musicians such as Morrissey (and his band The Smiths), who she admires for his "physicality, his voice and his maverick stance and independence". Vine painted Amy Winehouse in Amy brick wall because of Amy's "bizarre mixture" of fragility and strength, and "the whole thing of putting her man on a pedestal, almost like a Country & Western singer from the 60s." Vine described Kurt Cobain as a good, brave person and that her paintings of Courtney Love such as Courtney guilty were made during Love's trial when Vine felt Love was under attack, which she identifies with: "She's one of those people who are prepared to put the truth out, warts and all, even though you will be attacked for it.

2010

In November 2008, it was announced that Vine had begun painting a series of new work for a large solo show at The Eden Project, Cornwall, England to be held June - September 2010.
