Amazing pieces at the Tate...
Tate Liverpool| Current Exhibitions | DLA Piper Series: This is Sculpture
Spent the last couple of days in Liverpool and fell in love with a exhibition at the Tate gallery. It is an exhibition called the DLA Piper Series THIS IS SCULPTURE (curated by Michael Craig-Martin) and it included works by Dali, Bacon, Gormley, Mueck, Magritte, Warhol, Picasso, Klein, Mondrian and Tracy Emin. Totally fell in love with Sculpture so just thought id share..

A burning loss....
Yesterday all of the pieces fell into place and I was able to complete my work on my bamboo sculpture. With the help of Des (Technician) and my 2 camera people Pat and John I was able to pay my quiet tribute to the invisible and forgotten people in our society. I thought long and hard about how, where and when this was going to happen and eventually settled on a quiet location in the grounds of the college just as it was starting to get dark.
Because this piece is based on a form of isolation, I chose not to have any witnesses (apart from those needed to fulfil a role in the production). I also felt that students who were passing by without noticing how the structure disappeared added to the overall feeling of being invisible and overlooked.
I need to edit all 4 camera's footage (will definately need help from dad with this) and add a soundtrack in order for the piece to really mean something. Overall I don't think the weather and the footage could have turned out any better so I am really looking forward to getting the full piece completed.
Thanks again to Pat, John and Des.

Beautifully filmed piece that works mainly because of soundtrack....
With Muzak for The Invisible People it was my intention to create a piece that put in contrasts two spaces of confinement: The classical space of the hospital/poor farm and the virtual space of the internet. Both spaces symbolize a type of invisibility of the subject. The physical sequestering of otherness(the poor, mad, undesirable) has become spectral under the fashionable guise of spectacle and amusement and so, in the video, the decaying physical space of the Hospital/farm becomes overrun by the voices of the specters of the virtual madhouse. Using search words such as "insane", "poor" as my search words I used the popular websites Youtube and Youporn to create a Muzak soundscape for the ghosts of the abandoned and NYC Farm Colony.
