CCNOA 20061015
„Since its inception in 1998, CCNOA center for contemporary non-objective art, a multidisciplinary, non-for-profit organization, has focused on the presentation, promotion, and dissemination of a broad range of international identities, concepts and practices in the field of contemporary abstract art, notably in the areas of visual art, multimedia and publications.
CCNOA attracts European and international artists and art professionals to Brussels, provides a platform for emerging as well as established artists from Belgium and elsewhere, and facilitates their introduction to other European countries and the rest of the world by organizing traveling exhibitions and exchanges with art galleries, art centers and museums worldwide. Thanks to our combined efforts, CCNOA and its associates are today not only integrated into the Belgian cultural landscape but continue to increase their visibility and relevance on the European and international cultural circuit. Our larger traveling exhibitions in recent years include amongst others 'minimalpop' @ Florence Lynch Gallery New York City 2004 & Galerie Les filles du calvaire, Paris & Brussels 2005; '2step' @ Kunstnernes Hus Oslo & UH University Galleries, Hertfordshire 2006, and 'Painted Objects' @ PS Amsterdam 2005.

Uglow’s rigorous abstractions, often cited as ‘minimalist’, are, in fact, deeply grounded in the world. Locations and situations - isolated and extracted from their original context, stripped to the bare bones and reduced to their constituent parts - find their way into the artist’s vibrant, sensuous, and subtle abstract compositions. In examining one of Uglow’s primary compositional elements, the monochrome bands surrounding a seemingly uninflected surface, the symbiosis between his formal concerns and one source of inspiration for his work - his lifelong fascination with the game of soccer itself, as well as the nature of its space - is revealed. Challenging and sharpening perceptual awareness, Uglow’s works are "... phenomenological and epistemological propositions. ... [They] ... are objects meant to reaffirm the viewer’s ability to learn from the abstract. ... to make the viewer re-experience the material world. The abstract here is the cognitive process, the ability to turn experience into concepts and concepts into action." (Shirley Kaneda/Saul Ostrow).
Uglow participated in the CCNOA organized group exhibition 'WOP' and 'minimalpop'.
