CLIVE HEAD EXHIBITION: MODERN PERSPECTIVES

I visited this exhibition last Friday, and I thought I would share it with you.  It's a unique look at Clive Head's artwork, capturing the moment in a certain place and time.  It was interesting to me because of the 'Sense of Place' assignment I'm doing in Yr 1, IDIA.  But it could also appeal to others.  I will send you the link and you can see for yourselves:

Caught on tape!!

Mark Khaisman recreates stills from some of his favorite movies using nothing more than brown parcel tape. At first glance it appears they could have been made using state-of-the-art computer software but these images are created by layering strips of ordinary brown tape over each other. More..

Cake & Neave - 'The little artists' works 1995-2010

John Cake & Darren Neave

From 1995-2010 artists John Cake and Darren Neave produced their infamous Lego recreations of iconic modern art masterpieces, under the banner of ‘The Little Artists.’ These included Damien Hirst’s Shark Tank, Tracey Emin’s Bed and Joseph Beuys’ Sledges.

This book is an overview of the Lego series and also looks at the duo’s other work from that period, a body of work that questions contemporary art and the culture that creates it.

Michael Szpakowski , a WSD lecturer has essays published in the book, it is definitely worth a look!

Dorkbot London

"dorkbot is a monthly meeting of artists (sound / image / movement / whatever), designers, engineers, students and other interested parties from the new york area who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the broadest sense of the term.)"

It is definitely worth going to one and explore ideas over a few drinks!!

I went to Dorkbot #71 last week and saw  some amazing full colour holograms..check the website for more information..


Enjoy!

'Historic Trade Signs' by Jane Addison

Over the weekend I did a little research into the Chelmsford trail....and was interested to find that this steel sculpture or example of 'public art' by Jane Addison was included. I have walked past it before and loved the ornate design of it, just never really fully understood what it meant!

Now I know it was designed and made to symbolise those trades that once thrived in Chelmsford years ago. I also like the fact that Addison had her design handmade my Blacksmiths, which makes the overall effect of this piece a lot more meaningful.....

the shiny shed

I loved the shiny shed, it's just up my street, quirky, unexpected plus a bit dodgy in places. Great to know that creative and artistic people in Chelmsford are being given a forum to express their art. I
